The new contract is with Crowe LLC, a Sacramento based company that will assist DPR in examining their current and future funding structure. The main focus of the contract will be to evaluate the mill assessment which is a $0.021 fee charged on each dollar of pesticide sales in California. It is the main source of income for DPR.
