Anyone planning on deferring any 2019 crop payments must have a completed Deferred Payment Agreement on record with Blue Diamond prior to crop delivery from the sub-contract you wish to defer. Any payee may defer an entire payment or elect to receive a set amount and defer the residual to the next calendar or fiscal year. Deferred payment agreements will not be accepted after a sub- contract’s first delivery. Those wishing to accelerate their 2019 payments ahead of the regular payment schedule may complete an Accelerated Payment Agreement at any time. The 2019 Accelerated Payment rate was announced in mid-July. Anyone interested in either of these programs may obtain the necessary agreements from their local Regional Manager or by contacting Kristie Ezell via email at kezell @ bdgrowers.com or by phone at 916.446.8368 in our Sacramento Membership office. 1 5 J U L Y – A U G U S T 2 0 1 9
