The U.S. Department of Agriculture is changing the rules for how sweet cherries grown in certain counties in Washington state must be handled and prepared for sale. This affects cherry growers and sellers in those designated Washington counties, along with anyone who buys or sells these cherries commercially. The change matters because it adjusts what quality and size standards these cherries have to meet, which can affect how farmers operate and what prices they can charge.
