Instructions for Reporting Prices Please report average prices for the time period specified. The prices should reflect an f.o.b. warehouse price. Reported price should account for all grades of cotton purchased or delivered to your firm directly from producers as first time sales, without regard to eventual ownership or user. Include only cotton for which you paid or will pay the check-off as cotton purchased from producers. Exclude purchases from country buyers or other merchants. To arrive at an f.o.b. warehouse price, start with (1) the average price paid per pound to producers for cash purchases and contract deliveries, or (2) dollars per bale for option purchases (Form 605) for the period, or (3) the total dollars paid for cash or option purchases cotton during the period. Then, make the necessary adjustments, if any, listed below.
Items TO BE Deducted from Reported Price:		Items NOT TO BE Deducted from Reported Price:
	Compression and load out; Interest, storage and other marketing charges incurred after the producer relinquishes title; Any government payments (i.e., loan deficiency payments, “POP” payments); Gains from repaying loan at less than the loan rate.		Transportation costs to the warehouse; Warehouse receiving charges; Interest, storage and other marketing cost incurred by the producer while retaining ownership; Producer check-off fees for the Cotton Research and Promotion Assessment Program.
Note: If current deductions or add-ons are not available, use the average of the previous 3 years projected to the current year.

Cash Purchases and Contract Deliveries 2012 Crop and Earlier UPLAND Cotton Report cash cotton purchased directly from farmers except Form 605 transactions. Form 605 transactions should be reported as cotton acquired under loan. Include only cash cotton for which you paid or will pay the check-off fee as cotton purchased from producers. If "POP" cotton, exclude direct government payment to producer.
