Genera l notes:  
1. Value of production from National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) where available. For remaining commodities, value of production estimated from best available 
sources, including cash receipts from Economic Research Service Farm Income Data, production/inventory and value of sales fro m the Censu s of Agriculture, animal unit 
value data from Farm Service Agency, price data from State extension service bulletins, and price data from the Risk Manageme nt Agency.  
2. The sum of all product -specific values of production does not equal the total value of production of US agricultural production as notified in Supporting Table DS:9 
because of the aggregated categories of notified support (livestock; orchards, vineyards, nursery and related crops; tree nut s). These categories are used to report 
payments to g roups of commodities for which commodity -specific program payment data and/or values of production are not available or reliable.   
Notes:  
(1) This category includes fresh beans, dry beans, green peas, chickpeas, lentils, and dry peas due to constraints on data availability for CFAP.  
(2) Livestock category includes all species eligible for LFP, LIP, and ELAP program cattle & calves, sheep & lambs, poultry, swin e, goats, llamas, alpacas, emus, deer, elk, 
reindeer, and equine. Value of production does not incl ude reindeer, for which data are not reported.  
(3) Includes miscellaneous crops due to unavailable or unreliable value of production for several minor CFAP commodities.  
(4) Includes tree, bush, and vine crops eligible for TAP, brambles, and floriculture.  
(5) Tree nuts includes almonds, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts.

Notes  
(1) Reference price based on 1986 -88 average Caribbean price adjusted to include transportation costs of $28.66/ton (28.66 + 202.164 = 230.824). Annual Caribbean price 
is the simple average of 12 monthly prices. Applied administered price is the announced loan rate for cane sugar (19.75 cents  per lb.). Eligible production for market 
price support is the small er of either actual production or the Overall Allotment Quantity (OAQ), as provided for in the 2002 Farm Act (PL 107 -171) and continued under 
the 2018 Farm Act (PL 115 -334). The OAQ sets the amount of sugar that may be marketed during any year, thereby det ermining the maximum amount of production 
eligible for price support. Eligible production for 2019 is actual sugar production.

by the producers, such as for building and maintai ning water supplies and fences. Including the other non -fee costs could reduce the net outlay figure, perhaps to zero.

Notes:  
(1) Based on a "debt financing method ". A long term interest rate is applied to the outstanding unpaid balance of capital investment by the Government in irrigatio n faciliti es 
to obtain the subsidy. Irrigators repay the principal but not the interest on the project debt.  
(2) Whole -Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) policies insure revenue of the entire farm rather than an individual crop by guaranteeing a pe rcentage of average gr oss 
revenue.  
(3) The 2018 Farm Act (P.L. 115 -334) reauthorized PLC, ARC -CO, or ARC -IC. ARC -CO and PLC could be elected separately for base acres of each historical commodity on a 
farm. No production is required to receive ARC -CO or PLC payments. ARC -CO pro vides payments when county -level revenue for the covered commodity falls below the 
rolling average benchmark; PLC provides payments when the national average price for the covered commodity falls below the st atutory reference price for that 
commodity. In b oth cases, payments, if triggered, are made on 85 percent of base acres of the covered commodity. ARC -IC election automatically covered all historical 
base on a farm. ARC -IC provides payments when a farm's total revenue for all covered commodities on the f arm falls below the farm's benchmark. Payments, if 
triggered, are made on 65 percent of base acres.  
(4) The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 ( P.L. 116-6) provided $5 million available through the end of FY2020 to continue a pilot program to reduce dis parities in ARC -
CO county yield determinations between comparable contiguous counties.  
(5) Provides low -cost financing for farmers to build or upgrade on -farm grain storage and handling facilities. The program is authorized under the Commodity Credit 
Corpo ration Charter Act (P.L. 80 -772 as amended). Subsidy is the value of the differential between government and market interest rates. It was discontinued i n the 
early 1980s and re-established  in FY2000.  
(6) Provides financial assistance to producers or entit ies that deliver eligible biomass material to designated biomass conversion facilities for use as heat, power, biobased 
products or biofuels. Assistance is for costs of collection, harvest, storage and transportation associated with delivery of eligible ma terials. Reauthorized under the 2018 
Farm Act (P.L. 115 -334).  
(7) Provides direct loans, loan guarantees, and grants to farmers, ranchers, and small rural businesses to purchase renewable ene rgy systems and make energy efficiency 
improvements. Reauthorized  under the 2018 Farm Act (P.L. 115 -334).  
(8) Provides payments to reimburse higher costs for transportation of agricultural inputs and commodities faced by geographically  disadvantaged producers in Hawaii, 
Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Nor thern Mariana Islands, Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the US Virgin Islands. Reauthorized under the 
2018 Farm Act (P.L. 115 -334).  
(9) WHIP covered production losses due to hurricanes, wildfires, and other weather -related losses during 2017. W ildfire and Hurricanes Indemnity Program Plus (WHIP+) 
covered production losses due to these natural disasters in calendar years 2018 and 2019. Producers must have suffered a loss  due to an eligible disaster event in a 
primary county that received a qualif ying Presidential Emergency Disaster Declaration or Secretarial Disaster Designation, or have experienced an extreme or 
exceptional drought. Eligible commodities include crops, trees, bushes, and vines. Includes block grants to Georgia and Flori da but excl udes payments for timber losses. 
Also includes payments for on -farm storage losses and prevented planting. WHIP and WHIP+ payments to producers for eligible uninsured commodities are inclu ded in 
supporting table DS:1.  
(10) The Market Facilitation Program (MFP) provides payments to producers of commodities that were significantly impacted by trade retaliatio n. This program is authorized 
under Section 5 of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) Charter Act (P.L. 80 -772 as amended) to hel p farmers manage disrupted markets, deal with surplus 
commodities, and expand and develop new markets at home and abroad. The 2019 MFP for non -specialty crops was paid on total acreage of those eligible crops, subject 
to a cap, using a single county -level payment rate. Eligible non -specialty crops included: alfalfa hay, barley, canola, corn, crambe, dried beans, dry peas, extra -long 
staple cotton, flaxseed, lentils, long grain and medium grain rice, millet, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, rapeseed, rye, saffl ower, sesame seed, small and large chickpeas,

program is authorized by the CARES Act (P.L. 116 -136) and Section 5 of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) Charter Act (P.L. 80 -772). CFAP payments included 
here are for sales commodities, which cover a broad range of products and were calculated based on a producer’s total 2019 sales of all eligible commodities not 
differentiated individually. CFAP sales commodities include: fruits and vegetables, nursery crops and floriculture, other liv estock, tobacco,  goat milk, mink, mohair, 
pullets, turfgrass sod, wool, and other eligible commodities.
