The Governor shall be guided in his appointments by the recommendations of the Virginia Peanut Growers Association or other peanut growers' organizations existing in peanut-producing counties. The Virginia Peanut Growers Association and any other peanut growers' organization submitting nominations shall submit two or more nominations for each available position at least 90 days before the expiration of the member's term for which the nomination is being provided. If the Virginia Peanut Growers Association or other peanut growers' organizations fail to provide the nominations at least 90 days before the expiration date pursuant to this section, the Governor may appoint other nominees that meet the foregoing criteria.
