NDCISA Reporting Requirements for Increase Grower Contracts

Reporting requirements for increase grower contracts.

Contracts usually sent out mid-February (after release and allocation meeting) requesting return within 2-3 week timeline.
Payment for seed should be collected at the contract signing.
Return contracts and payments to Foundation Seedstocks ASAP.
Information from the contract is used to inform personnel at Research Centers as to who the grower is and the amount of allocation he should be given.
Grower will need to take a copy of the signed contract along when picking up the seed in order for the seed to be released to the grower.
Information from the contracts (name & address) is also used to send out Field Inspection Applications to each grower (usually around mid-May).
Reporting Form is usually sent out around the 1st of July. It is requested that this form be used when reporting and remitting check-off.
The fees for each individual variety are listed at the top of the form.
Complete the form listing ‘individual’ growers production/sales, etc.
Timeline for returning check-off and reporting form is September 1st. Check-off fees not paid by January 15th of the year following the selling season will jeopardize their chances of receiving allocation of the new varieties for that year.
REMINDER: Fees are paid on all bushels ‘sold as seed’ or ‘used by grower for planting’.
List on the bottom portion of the form, any seed/production that was not sold as certified seed and what happened to the production (i.e. failed field inspection, dumped at elevator, etc.)

Membership is on a calendar year basis. Dues are $100/year.
Invoice billing for membership dues is usually sent out to each county prior to January 15 and due within 30 days.
An annual membership for each grower is required to access new varieties

A form requesting a list of County Officers and Directors is usually sent out with the membership billing in January.
Completing and returning this form will insure that your county’s officers and directors receive periodic correspondence from NDCISA and will be listed on the NDCISA website.
