Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable is shown net of sales discounts and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

At June 30, 2017 the Company had $16,275,000 in reserves for sales discounts compared to $13,488,000 at December 31, 2016 related to products shipped to our customers under various promotional programs. The increase was primarily due to additional discounts reserved on the Company's agricultural products sold during the first and second quarter of 2017. The Company reviews the reserve quarterly based on analysis made on each program outstanding at the time. 
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,441,000 at June 30, 2017 and $2,501,000 at December 31, 2016.
