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

At March 31, 2017 the Company had $17,453,000 in reserves for sales discounts compared to $13,488,000 at December 31, 2016 on products shipped to our customers under various promotional programs. The increase was primarily due to additional discounts taken on the Company's agricultural products during the pre-season, which runs from August to December of each year, with orders shipped through the 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 $2,429,000 at March 31, 2017 and $2,501,000 at December 31, 2016.
