agriculture.  Wages and salaries and administrative expenses were excluded except where such outlays reflect the level of services provided  to agriculture.

4 In providing technical assistance, USDA agencies explain and determine eligibility for conservation program mes, help develop individual conservation plans, help install 
approved practices, provide information and educational assistance, and consult with universities and other government agenci es. Beginning in 2002, expenditures for 
technical assistance under most far m 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 und er 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 conservation technical assistance continues to be reported as part of 
Conservation Operations, and NRCS program  payments continue to include some technical assistance expenditures.

(2) Reference price based on 1986 -88 average Caribbean price adjusted to include transportation co sts 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 (OAQ), as provided f or 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, t hereby determining the maximum amount 
of production eligible for price support. Eligible production for 2 010 is actual sugar production.
