This cooperative purcahse program (CPPP) allows local grape growers not only save on their yearly pesticde purchases, it also helps the MGGA as well. By pooling their resources, growers are able to purchase general use pesticides at a considerable discount. The cost savings realized from this cooperative effort are large enough to allow a 5% contribution to be made to the MGGA. You save money, and the MGGA benefits as well.
The program works as follows:
- In mid-January, an order form is sent out to MGGA members -
Sample Order Form: 2007-cppp-form.doc (527K).
- You then choose from a wide variety of general use pesticides (each year more are added to the list). Chemicals are available in the smallest legal units, and with proper storage will last for several years.
- Place your order by the mid-February. 2007 deadline WAS Feb 17.
- By mid-March you're notified that your order has been delivered the drop site of your choice. (There are five designated drop sites located througout the
state - (see the drop site list here).
