1/  Unless otherwise specified, data are outlays for fiscal years. Outlays were excluded from domestic U.S. tables if not related directly to internal support of production agriculture.
Wages and salaries and administrative expenses were excluded except where such outlays reflect the level of services provided to agriculture.
2/  Includes an estimated $402 million for pest and disease management programs.
3/  In providing technical assistance, USDA agencies explain and determine eligibility for conservation programs, help develop individual conservation plans, help install approved practices, provide
information and educational assistance, and consult with universities and other government agencies.  Beginning in 2002, expenditures for technical assistance under most farm programs 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 conservation technical assistance continues to be reported as part of Conservation Operations, and NRCS program 
payments continue to include some technical assistance expenditures. 
4/  Derived as the difference between FSA farm loans and commercial interest rates times the value of loans made during the year.  Data also include budget outlays for recognized losses on FSA loan guarantees.  
5/  The Conservation Stewardship Program (CStP) superseded the Conservation Security Program (CSP) under the 2008 Farm Act.  The total reported for CStP includes expenditures on remaining CSP contracts.

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 $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 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 suppor t.  Eligible production for 2012 is actual sugar production.

Footnotes:
1/ Marketing loan gains, loan deficiency payments, and foreitures constitute benefits under the Marketing Assistance Loan Program (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.  No benefits were paid under this program during the
2012 marketing year.
2/ Four supplemental disaster programs, 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 provides 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 grazing 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 programs under Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance. TAP provides assistance to eligible orchardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate 
eligible trees, bushes and vines damaged by natural disasters. These programs terminated at the end of FY2011 under provisions of the 2008 Farm Act. They were extended through FY2013 under
the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 but were not funded. The programs were restored under the 2014 Farm Act and will cover eligible losses beginning Oct 1, 2011.
3/ The Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program was authorized by the 2008 Farm Act. Producers on a farm with covered 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 to enroll in ACRE anytime beginning with the 2009 crop year through
the duration of the 2008 Farm Act, but once enrolled in ACRE, the farm remains in the program through 2012. Direct payments are reduced by 20% and marketing assistance loan rates
are reduced by 30% on enrolled farms. 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, lentils, and small and large chickpeas.  Only commodities for which there were 
payments in the reporting year are included in the notification.

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.
