NOTE: 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. A settlement sheet (check stub,
sales ticket, assembling sheet) showing a typical transaction and a monthly summary (monthly report) will help determine
the firm's ability to report based on our guidelines.
