1. Accounts receivable – trade and notes receivable - trade are net of allowances of $233 million, $210 million, and $216 million at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021, respectively. Allowances are equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts and are based on the expected credit losses and were developed using a loss-rate method. 2. Notes receivable – trade primarily consists of receivables for deferred payment loan programs for the sale of seed and chemical products to customers. These loans have terms of one year or less and are primarily concentrated in North America. The company maintains a rigid approval process for extending credit to customers in order to manage overall risk and exposure associated with credit losses. As of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 there were no significant impairments related to current loan agreements. 3. Other includes receivables in relation to indemnification assets, value added tax, general sales tax and other taxes. No individual group represents more than 10 percent of total receivables. In addition, Other includes amounts due from nonconsolidated affiliates of $131 million, $104 million, and $92 million as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021, respectively. Accounts and notes receivable are carried at the expected amount to be collected, which approximates fair value. The company establishes the allowance for doubtful receivables using a loss-rate method where the loss rate is developed using past events, historical experience, current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for doubtful receivables for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

1. Prior year classifications in the changes in the allowance for doubtful receivables have been adjusted from their previous presentation. Adjustments did not impact the amount of the provision or the allowance for doubtful receivables recorded in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations or the interim Consolidated Balance Sheets. The company enters into various factoring agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell its trade receivables under both recourse and non-recourse agreements in exchange for cash proceeds. These financing arrangements result in a transfer of the company's receivables and risks to the third-party. As these transfers qualify as true sales under the applicable accounting guidance, the receivables are derecognized from the interim Consolidated Balance Sheets upon transfer, and the company receives a payment for the receivables from the third-party within a mutually agreed upon time period. For arrangements involving an element of recourse, which is typically provided through a guarantee of accounts in the event of customer default, the guarantee obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the interim Consolidated Balance Sheets. Trade receivables sold under these agreements were $78 million and $95 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and $177 million and $188 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The trade receivables sold that remained outstanding under these agreements which include an element of recourse as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 were $52 million, $166 million, and $135 million, respectively. The net proceeds received are included in cash provided by (used for) operating activities in the interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in other income - net in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. The loss on sale of receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $13 million, and $41 million and $43 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. See Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities for additional information on the company’s guarantees.
