1 Unless otherwise specified, data are outlays for fiscal years. Outlays were excluded from domesti c 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 USD 402 million for pest and disease management programme s. 
3 In providing technical assistance, USDA agencies explain and determine eligibility for conservation programme s, help develop individual conservation plans, help install 
approved practices, provide in formation and educational assistance, and consult with universities and other government agencies.  Beginning in 2002, expenditures for 
technical assistance under most farm programme s transitioned from FSA to NRCS, leading to a change in accounting for tech nical 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 progra mme 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 assis tance continues to be reported as part of 
Conservation Operations, and NRCS programme  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5 The Conservation Stewardship Program  (CStP) superseded the Conservation Security Program  (CSP) under the 2008 Farm Act.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 remain ing 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 i nclude transportation costs of USD 28.66/ton (28.66 + 202.164 = 230.824).  Annual Caribbe an 
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 Allotmen t 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 producti on eligible for  price support. Eligible production for 2011 is actual sugar production .
