producers because of near record
low commodity prices.
The USDA’s Pnce Support
Program enables a producer to
be compensated for income loss
when prices fall below a certain
level.
"This program is over and
above the regular commodity
payments for wheat and feed
grain," said Skip Matthews,
county executive director for the
Gilliam, Morrow and Wheeler
County FSA offices. "We
have just released the
remainder of the 1998
Production
Flexibility
Payments that totalled 3.9
million dollars for the year."
"The price for soft white
wheat has been averaging
about $2.20 per bushel
lately," said Matthews, "and
barley is just as bad or worse
at $55 per ton."
"This program, called the
Loan Deficiency Program,
____ ^since the
9 0 f ^s3id Matthews.
"It’s just that we haven't had
to use it because average
prices have been fairly good
until now."
Matthews went on to
explain that any time the net
average cash price for a
commodity falls below the
USDA established loan rate
for the county, eligible
producers can apply to be
paid the difference. "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.
