Your actual milk volume in hundredweight, each 100 lb, on the same statement period as all entered dollar amounts.
Your actual pay-statement gross milk value per hundredweight, with utilization and component quantities already reflected by your handler. Do not add or average the announced component rates above. No order formula or obsolete component standard is assumed.
Total statement premiums not already included in the entered gross settlement rate. Enter zero when already included; do not double count.
Total hauling, assessments and other check deductions not already netted from the entered rate.

Announced class & component chainA dated public benchmark, not an executable farm offer. Compare the exact product, grade, unit, delivery and observation date with your own buyer terms. Report age follows publication cadence.
All six required rates share the applicable month and announcement; Class III/IV and components have different units.
