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 contract or purchase agreements. Culls
and rejects received, but considered being 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 the 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 including the costs of materials and services
provided (listed in Item 3) to get the raw commodity to the plant receiving door.
3. Materials and Services Furnished by Processors: Include costs for 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. seed 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
growing hauling allowances);
f.

container costs (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 products);

j.

icing and hydro-cooling prior to delivery to plant;

k. association service fees, if deducted from the grower payment;
l.

other costs to the processing plant door;

Do not include brokerage, cost of field personnel, or other buying expenses.
4. Reported by Cooperative: For cooperatives, the average value per unit reported should reflect total payments to
growers, plus other costs listed in Item 3 for the quantity delivered as defined in Item 1. 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 as defined in Item 2. Label it "Estimate"
and indicate the date when final figures should be available. We will contact you at that time for your final average
value per unit.
5. If the harvest has not been completed, please estimate the acreage that will be harvested and the total tonnage that
will be received.
6. Include all tonnage bought from growers even if some was sold to other processors. Do not include tonnage bought
