In addition, a producer shall owe the program a producer charge of 5¢ with respect to every initial sale of a cut Pennsylvania-grown Christmas tree beyond the first 200 sales in a marketing season. A ''balled and bagged'' Christmas tree shall not be considered a ''cut'' tree for purposes of this program.

   Testimony will also be received as to other necessary and relevant matters, including rate of assessment, and with respect to the accuracy of producer lists on file at the Department of Agriculture (Department) identifying the names and addresses, Christmas tree acreage and the number of Christmas trees cut and sold between October 1, 2002, and December 31, 2002.
