The USDA’s Pnce Support Program enables a producer to be compensated for income loss when prices fall below a certain level.

"We have been paying an average of $0.50 per bushel on harvested production for wheat," said Matthews. "We are also paying on barley and oats and com will be eligible for payments as well." Matthews estimates that the local office has paid out about half of the total eligible payment so far. The deadline for requesting payments on 1999 crop is March 31, 1999.
