For the initial leasing program, what are the base distribution amounts for each category of handler/packers?

Note:
The department will always work with the review committee to assure that the distributions to approved applicants are fair and equitable and based on the pounds processed formula.
(1) The final handler/packer allocation for 2004 is illustrated in the following table:
Handler/Packer Size
Dollar Allocation per Handler/Packer
Small
$87,000.00
Medium
$110,500.00
Large
$154,500.00
(2) Future distributions will be determined by the:
(a) Amount of program funds available after all administrative and contract-leasing costs are subtracted from the total program allocation received from the legislature; and
(b) Number of participants in the program; and
(c) Department consultations with the Washington asparagus commission, the Washington asparagus council and the asparagus industry at large.
