The Ohio State University Viticulture Extension Team in conjunction with the Ohio Grapes Industries Committee is conducting a state-wide survey of grape prices to better understand the distribution, harvest yield, and price of Ohio-grown grape cultivars from the 2018 season. Please take the time to fill out the 2018 Grape Pricing Index survey at the link below.
To facilitate survey marketing and distribution throughout our industry, the information we obtain will be available in aggregated form to Ohio grape growers and vintners through Ohio Grape Industries communication networks. As grape prices will be averaged by variety and across regions, all individual responses will remain anonymous and confidential.
Your participation in this study is voluntary and involves minimal risks to you. If you refuse to participate or decide to stop participating in the study, there will be no penalty or consequences. Your decision to participate will not affect your future relationship with The Ohio State University. There is no cost to you except your time.
By clicking the link, you are consenting to take this survey. This survey may be exited at any time and takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
We will work to make sure that no one sees your survey responses without approval. But, because we are using the Internet, there is a chance that someone could access your online responses without permission. In some cases, this information could be used to identify you.
If you have any questions regarding this survey, please email Maria Smith at smith.12720@osu.edu or call 330-263-3825.
For questions about your rights as a participant in this study or to discuss other study-related concerns or complaints with someone who is not part of the research team, you may contact Ms. Sandra Meadows in the Office of Responsible Research Practices at 1-800-678-6251 or hsconcerns@osu.edu.
