Chemical Costs

SLIDE 20

Cost of production in lbs/ac of berries

Assuming a $0.50 /lb payout for wild

blueberries and the SRP for crop protectants

Cost of chemical at the at the recommended

rate.

Converted to lbs/ac of blueberries required

to cover just the cost of the spray material.

SLIDE 21

Example

Round Up WeatherMax SRP $79.00/10L jug
Rate 400mL/ac
25 ac out of a jug
$79.00/25ac= $3.16/ac (cost of chemical/ac)
If you are receiving $0.50/lb of berries
$3.16/lb divided by $0.50 = 6.32 lbs
6.32 lbs of berries/ ac need to be produced to

cover the cost of that spray material.
