What details will I find on a J Form?
A J Form typically includes the farmer's details, the buyer's name and licence number, the date of sale, crop type and quantity, quality grade, price per unit, total amount paid, fees deducted, the net amount received, the APMC market fee and the required signatures.
A J Form records the identifying details and the produce details of a crop sale. The amount of produce and the time of the transaction are essential entries.

My Advice
Review your J Form field by field and make sure the net amount and dates are legible. If anything is missing, ask the commission agent or market office to correct it before you send it to a university.
