Variety	French prunes are to be reported separately in the space provided below. All other prunes are to be combined and reported as "Non-French."
COLUMN 1	Total DFA Inspected Tons Produced by Handler: For the 2016 crop year, report the total DFA inspected tons produced by you, the handler. DO NOT include prunes purchased from other handlers or other producers. If the dehydrator operator grew or purchased fresh prunes and dehydrated them, he/she is considered to be the producer of prunes. If he/she carries out the functions of a handler as defined by the Prune Administrative Committee, he/she will also be considered the handler. * If a separate legal entity owned by the handler was responsible for the production of the prunes, the handler is not the producer of prunes. In this case, report tonnage under column (2) - Quantity Purchased From Producers; the separate legal entity is considered the producer. Reporting in this manner, assumes that a market price was established for the prunes produced by the separate legal entity.
	SECTION II. FINALIZED PURCHASES
COLUMN 2	DFA Inspected Tons Purchased From Producers: Report, by variety, the total 2016 crop DFA inspected tons purchased from producers, for which all pricing has been finalized. DO NOT include prunes produced by you, the handler; purchased from other handlers; or tonnage for which pricing is not finalized.
COLUMN 3	Final Weighted Average Price (Including Bonuses and Allowances): ln column (3), report the final weighted average price of all prunes purchased. Report the price separately by variety rounded to the nearest dollar per ton. Be sure to include all Bonuses and Allowances.
