2018 Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD) that allows for a tax deduction to COOP members that must be completed before Sept. 15. The total value of the DPAD program is approximately $1,000,000.
Plant is ready for harvest. Two dedicated sample runners have been assigned to support this year’s harvest, along with a new checks and balances Chain of Custody form for samples to help facilitate receiving and help to increase data collection.
We use a third party tester. All product grading meets USDA / ODA standards through a third-party testing process with members trained by the Oregon Department of Agriculture to ensure consistency.
