PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY INFORMATION

 This Productive Capacity Information Sheet must be completed by all B.C. Apple Producers. The CAIS Administration uses the information on this sheet to adjust the reference year production margins, where necessary, to determine and account for any structural change that may have occurred on the farming operation.  

Note: Indicate the number of acres (owned, rented, and your share of crop share acres if you are a tenant) for this operation for the applicable years (1999-2004). If you are a partner, report 100% of the acreage. Enter the acres of apple trees for each year, in the appropriate category, based on age and density as described below.

Inventory Description/ Tree Age
