Checkoff Dollars
An assessment of one per cent of net value is levied on peas and lentils grown in North Dakota and sold to a first purchaser. Annually, these checkoff dollars generate a return of approximately $32 per dollar invested (Source USADPLC). The Council responsibley invests these funds in four specific areas.
This includes participation in programs sponsored by the U.S. Dry Pea and Lentil Council.
