Apple Cost of Production Survey

Apple Cost of Production Survey

Every grower knows that input costs have risen since 2005, some more drastically than others. Certainly labour costs, pesticides and fertilizers have had significant increases.

For this reason, I'm working with the Ontario
Apple Growers to update their Cost of Production information, which was done most recently in 2005.

We are looking for 25 growers across the province, at least 5 from each district, to provide basic information on what it costs them to produce apples. Our co-operators realize that the work involved to dig up this information, while not easy, is important to support our industry.

Thanks to those brave souls who agreed to help with this survey. We are still looking for a few
co-operators, so give me a call or email if you would like to participate : 519-738-1256
