This cooperative purchase 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.
THIS PROGRAM IS OPEN ONLY TO MGGA MEMBERS - Sign-In and Click on the CPPP link. Non-members can join HERE, and take advantage of the selections and prices offered.
The program works as follows:
● In mid-January, MGGA members receive (in the mail) CPPP Ordering Information,
which includes:
- Ordering Instructions
- Order Form
- Effectiveness Chart
● 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.
● By mid-March you're notified that your order has been delivered the drop site of your
choice. (see the Instructions document).
