Bulk Grape

Regulations remain in place for the movement of bulk grapes from glassy-winged sharpshooter infested areas to destinations in California that are non-infested. Starting in the 2005 shipping season, County Agricultural Commissioners will retain or establish compliance agreements with shippers who meet this situation but will no longer issue yellow- or green-punched certification tags. Shippers must still meet the requirements of the regulations by transporting bulk containers of grapes which are free of the glassy-winged sharpshooter. For more information regarding movement of bulk grapes, please contact your local agricultural commissioner.
