Producers Get Apple Marketing
Assessment Referendum
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
Agriculture Secretary Charles
C. Brosius is urging apple growers
to vote in a referendum to change
the rate of assessment to growers
under the Pennsylvania Apple
Marketing Program.
The program promotes the sale
of Pennsylvania-grown apples and
apple products through advertis
ing and sple displays, and by serv
ing as the industry spokesperson.
“Pennsylvania ranks fifth
nationally in apple production,”
Brosius said. “With increased
resources, the Apple Marketing
Program can work to enter new
markets, including export
markets.”
The referendum
proposes to change the
rate of assessment
beginning with the
1996-97 marketing sea
son to 12 cents per
bushel of apples sold for
fresh market use and six
cents per hundred
pounds of apples sold or
accepted for processing.
Beginning with the
2000-01 marketing sea
son, the proposed rate of
assessment would
increase to IS cents per
bushel of apples sold for
fresh market use and
eight cents per hundred
pounds of apples sold or
accepted for processing.
The proposed amend
ment applies to all apple
growers in the Com
monwealth with five
hundred or more apple
trees of all ages.
The referendum per
iod will begin on March
25,1996, and will end at
4 p.m. on April 8,1996.
