If the marketing program which is submitted is not assented to by producers in sufficient number and by sufficient volume to meet the requirements of Article 9 (commencing with Section 59851) of this chapter, the director shall dismiss the proceedings which were instituted to change or annex the boundaries of the proration zone, and the marketing program in operation at the time the proceedings were instituted shall continue to be effective within the boundaries of the proration zone as constituted prior to the proceedings.
