TO: County Crop/Ag Improvement Associations and Dennis Tweed, NDAA Seed Increase Chairman

FROM: Paulette Neva, Executive Secretary

SUBJECT: Check-off Reporting Form

DATE: March 1, 2000

I have received a few calls with regard to the Check-off (Association fees) on last year's released varieties. Therefore, I am sending this reporting form a little early.

Attached is a copy of the check-off reporting form. This reporting form is a great help to me in keeping records and I request that you use it again this year when submitting payment. The Seed Increase Agreement specifies that the following check-off be collected on each bushel/pound sold as seed and also on any seed kept by the grower for his own planting. The Association fees established for these new releases are:

Maier & Mountrail Durum - $0.70/bu
Parshall & Reeder HRSW - $0.70/bu
Cathay & Pembina Flax - $0.75/bu

The increase grower is responsible for the check-off. He should be billed accordingly using the figures above. Please forward 50% of the check-off to the North Dakota Crop Improvement & Seed Association, and 50% shall be retained by the county. Please make checks payable to North Dakota Crop Improvement and Seed Association (NDCISA) and remit to: P.O. Box 5607, University Station, Fargo, ND 58105.

If all or part of seed production was not sold as certified seed or failed certification, we will need a report on that also. If seed was dumped at the elevator, please provide proof of disposal.
