Honeycrisp Orchard Renewal Program (HCORP) Update - July 16, 2010
This year the NSFGA requested that the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture provide another one year extension to the HCORP for a 2011 planting. The Deputy Minister responded to the request on June 30th saying that “My department will not be in a position to formally respond to your request for an extension until early 2011, when our program and budget plans and priorities for 2011/12 are in progress.”
The HCORP Steering Committee has recommended that due to the uncertainty of receiving a 2011 program extension, the NSFGA should consider 2010 the final planting year. Until further notice 2011 planting applications will not be accepted by the NSFGA.
2010 planting inspections are being processed by the office and we expect that growers who have met all the planting guidelines will be paid on or before July 31st.
If you have any questions, concerns or comments please call the NSFGA Office.
