Pierce's Disease Control Program Updates

Return Your Ballot by June 12, 2025

CAWG Members:

The deadline is fast approaching to vote on the renewal of the Pierce’s Disease and Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (PD/GWSS) Assessment<https://jhah4acab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001F1VEuhpr2-ojM7chUx66BNQ9EjEoIPu8fSSHWoun_ZS7ROTppJ4_3GphOnN2-ALlW9k0J0P1h50BW2tqA6qKsiXO5r4vKXva1mEY2IY9oW4D57-UE1g34MyhmxZfbDSt0y4jZA-G7evITpLoZPCJWKHYXHUZT0LGfyVUrPUkQhhPW-5YuytfQ6A03ve0SWf3tUULNA4HJd_HyQfRo_QWbQ==&c=MPNXzvi24lJvQuqjroeC7bV4REN0PKNashjKvr9IdbDDbyYrmmeV-A==&ch=z1QSIEX0W51WZw84eGSJVG5nVdYUuBL-uNX0_uyaquIP0souEKAs0Q==>. Your vote is crucial - if at least 40% of the ballots are not returned by June 12, the program will be discontinued.

As of May 28, only 30.96% of ballots have been returned<https://7wzeipdab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001K17jU-We7PpbN5Nj5BOwYlBjYHuZYo2-DCf3JsU3OnwE-b0w2JxXBXcKdtr4NNrl3vi5e5n_OW2i25FjJde7lDC22cpRGlrindcqf6dykwmHv3NJl3Mt_t63lXRU9aVssMMnJgydyuRoaSuqfBPbEJDBYQEKll7jREFBJEoJpkrqWhLtqEea5A==&c=29ZGaeBepsXOl4okObdx0VzpiIGYjTu6G-CVs6WEGvWCX_Mkx2SgZw==&ch=fMPE80sd0lVBjrzyAAav4iCwIcslxKpbnzksAgdeb7_XDSBpsXgoLA==>. Your participation is needed to ensure this vital program continues.

ACTION NEEDED:

  *   Return your ballot by June 12. You should have received an initial ballot and then a second one when the deadline was extended. Either can be returned.
  *   Didn't receive your ballot or need a replacement? Contact Miranda Townsend<mailto:Miranda.Townsend at cdfa.ca.gov> or Denise Sanchas<mailto:Denise.Sanchas at cdfa.ca.gov> with CDFA’s Marketing Branch at (916) 900-5018 as soon as possible.
  *   No longer growing winegrapes? It's still important to return your ballot and check the box indicating you are no longer a grape grower.

Why Your Vote Matters

The Pierce’s Disease Control Program is a collaborative effort between CDFA and the winegrape industry, overseen by the Pierce’s Disease and Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (PD/GWSS) Board<https://7wzeipdab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001K17jU-We7PpbN5Nj5BOwYlBjYHuZYo2-DCf3JsU3OnwE-b0w2JxXBYvtyzc0Wk8gjSgeqSw_4lN1jTH5nsu7JGzkBAzkVlBBMUBgMVEogb3asJU8KNK7P8U7co8L-8QhlRz7MOflYAaVcD_V3hzu3AFaWUUifsTaOwS_z953YU77mJtgF8zLypRSqm2dY7CX&c=29ZGaeBepsXOl4okObdx0VzpiIGYjTu6G-CVs6WEGvWCX_Mkx2SgZw==&ch=fMPE80sd0lVBjrzyAAav4iCwIcslxKpbnzksAgdeb7_XDSBpsXgoLA==>, made up of winegrape growers and wine makers from across California<https://7wzeipdab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001K17jU-We7PpbN5Nj5BOwYlBjYHuZYo2-DCf3JsU3OnwE-b0w2JxXBRx0eculjL0iKdoW_fh0c3ut2xXdbCQhDuyGY-DVCScr9fEujNGygkCUFhJlduScaBL7LXp7bklHtGIoqB45Win-TMTUMFacgf7yFp-8Yp8MfSuNm0NVRsq1uFZ2TgjI1vMreeHAuGQnsDVGbqjXxGM=&c=29ZGaeBepsXOl4okObdx0VzpiIGYjTu6G-CVs6WEGvWCX_Mkx2SgZw==&ch=fMPE80sd0lVBjrzyAAav4iCwIcslxKpbnzksAgdeb7_XDSBpsXgoLA==>.

Since its inception 20 years ago, the PD/GWSS Board has invested over $57 million in research, prevention, and outreach to respond to pests and diseases.

Winegrape assessment funds have also supported research and outreach on other designated pests and diseases of winegrapes, including:
