3 In providing technical assistance, USDA agencies explain and determine eligibility for conservation program mes, help develop individual conservatio n plans, help install 
approved practices, provide  information and educational assistance, and consult with universities and other government agencies. Beginning in 2002, expen ditures for 
technical assistance under most farm program mes transitioned from FSA  to NRCS, leading to a change in accounting for technical assistance that was not immediately 
reflected in reporting of NRCS technical assistance. Estimates of NRCS technical assistance have continued to be  included under FSA/NRCS CTA, as well as under 
NRCS Conservation Operations and as part of NRCS program payments under Environmental Payments, leading to double -counting of NRCS technical assistance . 
Beginning in 2009, CRP technical assistance is reported separately under FSA, while NRCS general conservat ion technical assistance continues to be reported as part of 
Conservation Operations, and NRCS program  payments continue to include some technical assistance expenditures.

recognized losses on FSA loan guarantees.

1 External reference price is 1986 -88 average price from FAS/USDA reported prices, FOB  Northern Europe and other world ports.  
2 Reference price based on 1986 -88 average Caribbean price adjusted to include transportation costs of USD 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 (18.75 cents per lb.).  
Eligible production for market price support is the smaller of either actual production or the Overall Allotment Quantity (OA Q), as provid ed for in the 2002 Farm Act 
(PL 107-171) and continued under the 2008 Farm Act (PL 110 -246). The OAQ sets the amount of sugar that may be marketed during any year, thereby determining the 
maximum amount of production eligible for price support.  Eligible production for 2013 is actual s ugar production.

1 Marketing loan gains, loan deficiency payments, and forfeitures constitute benefits under the Marketing Assistance Loan Progr am (certificate exchange gains were 
discontinued after 2009). Covered commodities include corn, soybeans, wheat, rice (both medium and long -grain), upland cotton, barley, grain sorghum, oats, peanuts, 
oilseeds (which include canola, crambe, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower, sesame seed, and sunflower seed) , dry peas, honey, lentils, mohair, small and 
large chickpeas, and wool. Only commodities  for which there were  payments in the reporting year are included in the notification. No benefits were paid under this 
program during the 2013 marketing year.  
2 Four supplemental disaster program mes, the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP), the Emergency Livestock Assistance 
Program (ELAP), and the Tree Assistance Program (TAP), were authorized by the 2008 Farm Act.  LIP provid es payments to eligible producers for livestock death losses in 
excess of normal mortality due to adverse weather. LFP provides payments to eligible producers of covered livestock for grazi ng losses. ELAP provides emergency relief 
to eligible producers of livestock, honey bees, and farm -raised fish for losses due to disease, adverse weather, or other conditions not covered by other program mes 
under Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance. TAP provides assistance to eligible orchardists and nursery tre e growers to replant or rehabilitate eligible trees, 
bushes and vines damaged by natural disasters. These program mes terminated at the end of FY  2011 under provisions of the 2008 Farm Act. They were extended 
through FY  2013 under the American Taxpayer Reli ef Act of 2012 but were not funded. The program mes were restored under the 2014 Farm Act and cover eligible 
losses beginning 1 October 2011.   
  G/AG/N/ USA/108/Rev.1  
 
- 18 - 3 The Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program was authorized by the 2008 Farm Act. Producers on a farm with co vered commodities and/or peanuts who elect to 
participate in the ACRE program must enroll for all covered commodities and peanut acreage on the farm. Producers may elect t o enroll in ACRE anytime beginning with 
the 2009 crop year through the duration of th e 2008 Farm Act, but once enrolled in ACRE, the farm remains in the program me through 2012. Direct payments are 
reduced by 20% and marketing assistance loan rates are reduced by 30% on enrolled farms. Covered commodities include corn, so ybeans, wheat, rice  (both medium 
and long -grain), upland cotton, barley, grain sorghum, oats, peanuts, oilseeds (which include canola, crambe, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower, sesame 
seed, and sunflower seed), dry peas, lentils, and small and large chickpeas. Onl y commodities for which there were payments in the reporting year are included in the

1 Producers may choose one of the various types of crop yield or revenue insurance plans mad e available each year.  The contracted -for insurance premiums are subsidized. The 
chosen guarantee (coverage) level commonly ranges from 50% to 85% of the historical average yield or expected revenue.  
2 Interest subsidies constitute a benefit under the Mark eting Assistance Loan Program. Covered commodities include corn, soybeans, wheat, rice (both medium and long -grain), 
upland cotton, barley, grain sorghum, oats, peanuts, oilseeds (which include canola, crambe, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed , safflower, s esame seed, and sunflower seed), 
dry peas, honey, lentils, mohair, small and large chickpeas, and wool.  Only commodities for which there were benefits in the reporting year are included in the notification, 
unless the commodity is included on the basis of other support. Chickpeas and lentils are reported with dry peas because they are included under dried peas for crop insurance  
purposes, and premium subsidies are not reported separately.  
3 Fees/levies include loan origination and related fees for most loan  commodities.  
4 Includes chickpeas and lentils, which are combined with other dry peas into a single category for crop insurance.  
5 Species -specific payment data not available for Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) or for emergency feed & grazing assi stance under the Emergency Assistance for

Irrigation on Bureau of 
Reclamation      Based on a "debt financing method." A long -term interest rate is app lied to 
the outstanding unpaid balance of capital investment by the Government in 
irrigation facilities to obtain the subsidy. Irrigators repay the principal but 
not the interest on the project debt.  Projects in 17 Western States:   167.314   167.314  
Net Federal budget outlays for

16 Western States operated by the Forest Service (FS) and Bureau of Land

the receipts for fees paid by livestock producers, but do not include other 
"non-fee" costs paid by the producers, such as for building and maintaining 
water supplies and fences. Including the other non -fee costs could reduce 
the net outlay figure, perhaps to zero.

entire farm rather than an individual crop b y guaranteeing a percentage of 
average gross farm revenue, including a small amount of livestock revenue.

target price. Payments are based on historical acres and yields and do not 
require current production of the historically produced commodi ty.
