requested below, you will be helping to accurately estimate prices received by farmers. Information requested in this survey is used to prepare estimates of
selected agricultural commodities.

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;

Transportation costs to the warehouse;

Interest, storage and other marketing charges incurred after
the producer relinquishes title;

Warehouse receiving charges;
Interest, storage and other marketing cost incurred by the
producer while retaining ownership;

Any government payments (i.e., loan deficiency payments,
“POP” payments);

Producer check-off fees for the Cotton Research and
Promotion Assessment Program.

Gains from repaying loan at less than the loan rate.
Note:

If current deductions or add-ons are not available, use the average of the previous 3 years projected to the current year.
