Each year we often have growers who request changes to their memberships. Sometimes these requests are made during the shelling season which is frequently too late to get them in place. This can cause a delay in payments to our members from their handlers, and for hulling fees from those handlers to be delayed to the Association. It can also cost us a great deal of time in trying to correct paperwork to reflect needed changes.
Are there changes you have made to your farm which we should know about? If so, please make sure not only to let your handler know, but to let us know as well. We will work as fast as we can to make sure the revision is in place before the first load of your production is delivered. Please be aware that the time to make these changes is not when the shelling season is already under way; it should be done before the harvest season commences! To do otherwise will only cause delays.
