§ 56274 Pool Sales Accounting Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Farmers can team up to sell their stuff together in a big group (like a pool).
  • •The person selling their stuff must get their permission in writing first.
  • •The seller has to show them the average money made from the sales, not each sale separately.
  • •The seller must keep good records of all the sales.

Example

A group of apple farmers agree to sell their apples together to get a better price.

The person selling the apples must get their okay in writing and then show them the average price all the apples sold for, not each apple sale. They also have to keep good records of all the sales.
