First Purchasers

The Kansas commodity-checkoffs structure includes one-point collection, in the shape of a one-page form for first purchasers to complete for all five assessments. A first purchaser is a person, corporation, association or partnership that makes the first purchase of a commodity from a farmer after harvest. Most often, first purchasers are grain elevators or commodity dealers, but they can be other businesses, such as seed dealers, biodiesel and ethanol plants, and feedlots.
