Michigan cherry producers vote to continue Cherry Promotion Program
Established in May 1972, the Michigan Cherry Promotion and Development Program was developed to improve the economic position of the state’s cherry producers by creating greater marking opportunities for Michigan cherries. By law, the program must be renewed every five years.
The Michigan Cherry Promotion and Development Program will continue for an additional five years beginning July 1, 2017. The current program assessment is $10 per ton for sweet or tart cherries and $5 per ton for cherries sold for juice.
