The intent of listing terminal market prices is to provide information available in the public domain.  It is not intended for price setting, only to assist growers in evaluating the value of their crops.  Producers need to remember that the prices listed are gross;  consideration must be given to other marketing costs, i.e. commission, handling charge, gate fees, and possible lumper fees.
