N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 250-f: Stated grape price

§ 250-f. Stated grape price. Notwithstanding any provision of

subdivision one of section two hundred fifty-e of this article, except

with respect to such cooperative member patrons, it shall be unlawful

for any processor doing business in New York to purchase or receive or

attempt to purchase or receive grapes grown in New York state unless the

processor sets forth and makes available to any selling or delivering

party, not later than August fifteenth in the year in which the grapes

are to be delivered, the sum total in dollars and cents of all amounts

paid or to be paid per unit; provided, however, that a processor and a

producer may negotiate without restriction a price for up to five tons

of grapes per variety, not to exceed a maximum of twenty tons of grapes

total, other than the price originally set forth pursuant to this

section provided that any such negotiated prices shall be set forth in

writing by the processor no later than the date of delivery of said

grapes. Where a selling or delivering party has a contract for delivery

of such grapes to a processor, the processor shall, not later than

August fifteenth in the year in which such grapes are to be delivered,

mail to the delivering or selling party written notice of the stated

grape price and of the opportunity to refuse to so deliver with respect

thereto. Such notice may also be provided by facsimile, or other

electronic means to selling or delivering parties who have the ability

to accept notice in that manner and have agreed to accept service by

such means. The processor shall also provide to the commissioner by

mail, facsimile, or other electronic means, no later than August

fifteenth of each year in which such grapes are to be delivered, a

written statement of the stated grape price to be paid for such grapes.
