First Purchasers
The First Purchaser Application registers your business as an authorized first purchaser of dry peas and lentils in North Dakota, and the Checkoff Remittance Report is used to report and submit the 1% checkoff assessment collected on purchases.
If you have questions about completing either form, determining your reporting deadlines, or your responsibilities as a first purchaser, please contact the Council office. We're happy to walk you through the process.
