§ 929.47 - Preliminary regulation.

(a) Beginning with the 1968-69 crop year, and continuing for each crop year thereafter through August 31, 1974, no handler shall handle, as the first handler thereof, cranberries purchased by him from a grower or acquired by him for handling for the account of a grower until he has determined the identity of the grower and the quantity of cranberries attributed to such grower. The handler shall furnish such information to the committee at such times and in such forms as the committee, with the approval of the Secretary, may request.

(b) So that each producer may qualify for a base quantity, pursuant to § 929.48, the committee shall furnish each producer early in each calendar year beginning in 1969, and as soon as practicable after the effective date of the amendment for the 1968 calendar year, a form to be filed with the committee whereon the producer reports the location of his bog(s), the acreage of cranberries he intends to harvest, and such other information as the committee needs to establish a base quantity for such producer.
