DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPORTING

1. Report Quantity Received and Value Per Unit on a Pay-Weight Basis: The term “pay-weight” refers to the quantity of the product delivered and paid for at the rate (or rates) specified in contracts or purchase agreements. Culls and rejects received, but considered to be of no value (including tonnage for which the grower received a nominal amount, such as $1.00 a ton in lieu of the return of dockage), should not be included in this report. Processors who establish tolerance for culls and rejects should report the tonnage which was paid for at the contract rate and should deduct only the dockage for culls and rejects in excess of the prescribed tolerance.

2. Value Per Unit: Value per unit is defined as “all payments to growers plus the costs of materials and services provided to get the raw commodity to the plant receiving door”.

3. Materials and Services Furnished by Processors: Include costs of the following materials and services furnished without charge to growers and in excess of grower charges:

a. Preparation, planting and cultivating, including depreciation and repair of equipment.

b. Seeds or plant costs not deducted, including distribution.

c. Weed, insect, or disease control, including survey, equipment, application, and materials.

d. Harvesting costs, including cost of operation, depreciation, repair, moving equipment, and labor procurement.

e. Delivery cost to the processing plant door, including payment to hired truckers, cost of company trucks, and grower hauling allowances.

f. Container cost, including upkeep, losses, storage, and transportation.

g. Field receiving station cost if located off plant premises (receiving, weighing, loading, etc.)

h. Passed acreage if paid for.

i. Inspection and grading costs. (Include only if used in purchase of raw product.)

j. Icing and hydrocooling prior to delivery to plant.

k. Association service fees if not deducted from grower payment.

l. Other costs to processing plant door.

m. Do not include brokerage, cost of fieldmen, or other buying expenses.

4. Reports by Cooperatives: For cooperatives, the average value per unit reported should reflect total payments to growers plus other costs for the quantity delivered. Do not include dividends paid growers which are based on capital stock ownership. If all payments have not been made to growers, please estimate the average total payments to growers in arriving at per unit value. Label your estimated average value per unit “Estimate”, and indicate the date when final figures should be available. We will write you at that time for your final average value per unit.

5. If harvest has not been completed, please estimate the acreage that will be harvested and the total tonnage that will be received.

6. For each crop processed, please designate the States in which the crop was grown.

7. Include all tonnage bought from growers even if some was sold to their processors. Do not include tonnage bought from other processors.
