(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 USD 351 million  for pest and disease  management  program mes. 
(3) 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  agencies.  Beginning  in 2002,  expenditures  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  separ ately 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.

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) Applied  administered  prices  were temporarily  increased  during  the period  1 August  2009 to 31 October  2009.  The first row applies  to October  2009,  and the second  
row applies  to November  2009 - September  2010.  
(3) Reference  price based  on 1986-88 average  Caribbean  price adjusted  to include  transportati on 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  (18.25  cents  per lb.). Eligible  
production  for market  price suppo rt 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 support. Eligible  production  for 2009 is actual  sugar  production.

Direct  payments  are reduced  by 20% and marketing  assistance  loan rates are  reduced  by 30% on enrolled  farms. Co vered  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
