TITLE 22 AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE CHAPTER 37 CHERRY COMMISSION 22-3710. Assessment. There is hereby levied upon all cherries grown annually in this state and all cherries packed as Idaho cherries an assessment of twenty dollars ($20.00) a ton.

All moneys collected hereunder shall be expended to effectuate the purposes and object of this act.
