The following excerpt is from Cal-Almond, Inc. v. U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, 14 F.3d 429 (9th Cir. 1993):
16 Appellants quote our observation in Pescosolido v. Block, 765 F.2d 827 (9th Cir.1985), that "the Secretary is not empowered to fix prices for any [commodities other than milk] covered by the Act." Id. at 830. Pescosolido is inapplicable to the present case because it dealt with the prices that handlers pay to producers, not the prices that handlers receive from their customers.
