Who will pay the cost of the independent third-party assessors and verifiers and CIP implementation?
In the pilot programs, WSI and its partners will assist suppliers and producers in securing financial assistance from state and federal cost share and incentive programs. While ultimately it is the supplier?s and producer?s responsibility to implement the CIPs, WSI will work to minimize producer cost. After the pilot program, the cost of assessment, CIP development and verification will become corporate expectations and part of the cost of food production. It is an expectation that WSI partners throughout the supply chain will consider the results of the pilot program to develop an equitable distribution of the costs of optimal nutrient management in production agriculture. Government cost share and incentives will likely continue to be available to offset much of the costs for the foreseeable future.
