Washington State Statutes - Washington Attorney Directory

The legislature finds that the production of marketable rapeseed within this state is in the interest of the public welfare. The legislature further finds that the production of incompatible varieties of rapeseed in close geographical proximity adversely affects the purity and marketability of rapeseed, and that it is in the public interest to establish geographical districts and buffer zones wherein the production of rapeseed may be restricted by variety.

For the purpose of rapeseed production in the state of Washington, the director of the department of agriculture shall have the regulatory authority on the production of rapeseed by variety and geographic location until such time as a rapeseed commodity commission is formulated. Once formed, the rapeseed commodity commission shall assume the regulatory authority on the production of rapeseed by variety and geographic location in the state of Washington.
