  1. Instructions can be saved or printed for reference. (Alternate format pdf file 155 kb)

  2. Using the grey drop down menu, choose your commodity. By clicking on the grey boxes in front of the commodity name, drop down menus will appear for varieties (i.e., "McIntosh" or "Yukon Gold"), and for descriptors (i.e.; "field" or greenhouse"). If your commodity does not have a variety or a description then leave it blank.
