  3  grower-participant to a Florida processor, the sales factor

  4  for the growers for such citrus fruit delivered to such

  5  processor shall be the same as the sales factor for the most

  6  recent taxable year of that processor.  That sales factor,

  7  expressed only as a percentage and not in terms of the dollar
