JJ & Son Marketing Posts $150,000 Employment Bond
Chualar, Ca-based JJ& Son Marketing Inc has posted a $150,000 under the regulations of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA).
Owner Richard Brown may now be employed by PACA affiliates. Brown was previously named in a PACA action.
Richard Brown was the owner of The Produce Guys, also trading as Jungle King Growers, Mesa, Ariz., a company which failed to pay a reparation award issued against it under PACA.
Any PACA licensee wishing to employ individuals who have failed to pay a reparation award, or have been subject to a USDA disciplinary action, must post a USDA-approved surety bond.
USDA will hold the $150,000 bond for four years, providing assurance to the industry that the company will be able to pay for produce purchased and to conduct its business according to PACA rules.
