The National Raisin Reserve was a raisin reserve of the United States.[1] It was created after World War II by the government in order to control raisin prices. The reserve was run by the Raisin Administrative Committee.[2] It was enforced by means of a "marketing order". In 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Horne v. Department of Agriculture that the confiscation of a portion of a farmer's crops without market price compensation was unconstitutional and ended the reserve.[3]
