§ 55606 Producer Pool Return Accounting

Key Takeaways

  • •If a company buys stuff from different farmers and mixes their products together to sell, they have to be fair.
  • •The company must show each farmer how much money was made from selling their stuff, after taking out costs.
  • •The company has to keep good records of all sales and costs so farmers can see what happened.

Example

A dairy company buys milk from 10 different farmers and mixes it all together to sell.

The company must tell each farmer how much money was made from selling the milk, minus costs like trucking and processing. They can't hide anything—they have to show the math.

§ 55606 Producer Pool Return Accounting

If the processor has entered into a contract with two or more producers or consignors, which provides that the returns for any farm product which is handled and sold for the account of such producers or consignors shall be pooled on a definite basis as to grade or quality, or both, during a specific period of time, then the processor shall render a true account of sale which shows the net average pool return on each grade and quality from the sales that are made, which shows in detail all charges in connection with the handling, processing, and selling of such farm product. The processor shall keep a correct record of such sales and charges. (Amended by Stats. 1967, Ch. 807.)
