growers and producers of these commodities have agreed by referendum to pay for programs and
projects that would benefit their commodities. The activities of the Marine Products Board are
funded by licensing fees. The Virginia Wine Board receives an appropriation as provided in the
2004 Virginia Acts of Assembly.
Members of the State Apple Board are elected. Members of the other boards are appointed by the
Governor from recommendations by the various industry groups.
