Transcript of An Assessment of the Equitability of Farm Program Payments Across Crops

  • An Assessment of the Equitability of Farm Program Payments Across CropsNational Public Policy Education ConferenceSt. Louis, MissouriSeptember 19-22, 2004James W.

  • ObjectivesDetermine alternative methods of measuring equitability

    Discuss the merits of each measure

    Apply the measures to 9 major commodities for the period 1990 2002 marketing year basis

    Preliminary results

  • JustificationPotential Budget Reconciliation January 2005

    Potential commodity versus commodity conflicts

  • Definition of Government Support

  • Definitions of Support CategoriesDeficiency PaymentsPayment rate = Target price max (loan rate, avg. market price)Producers Payment = Payment rate * base acres *program yield *.85

    Production Flexibility Contract PaymentsPayments made under the 1996 Farm BillComparable to Direct Payments under the 2002 Farm Bill

  • Definitions of Support CategoriesMarket Loss Assistance PaymentsPayments authorized by emergency legislation in 1998-2001Made to recipients of production flexibility contract paymentsAlso called double AMTA Payments

    Loan Deficiency PaymentsPayments made when market prices (PCP or AWP) are lower than commodity loan ratesPayment Rate = Loan rate loan repayment rate

  • Definitions of Support CategoriesDirect PaymentsNew to the 2002 Farm BillAnnual per unit payment rate

    Counter-cyclical PaymentsNew to the 2002 Farm BillPayments to covered commodities whenever the effective price is less than the target priceProducers Payment = Payment Rate * Base Acres * CCP Yield * .85

  • Definitions of Support CategoriesMarketing Loan GainsRealized when a loan is repaid at less than the loan principalMarketing loan gain rate = loan rate loan repayment rate

    Producer Storage PaymentsPayments made to producers for farmer-owned reserves

  • Definitions of Support CategoriesCertificate Exchange GainsPIK, Diversion and Deficiency certificate gains

    Crop Insurance BenefitsIndemnities premiums + subsidies

    Commodity Specific PaymentsUser Marketing Payments (Step 2), Oilseed payments, peanut payments, and quota compensation payments

  • Measures of Equitability Support per AcreSupport per planted acre Total Annual Support divided by Total Annual Planted AcresUsed by Monke J. in a Congressional Research Service report

    Support per base acre Total Annual Support divided by Annual Base AcreageModification of Monkes formula

  • Measures of EquitabilitySupport per Yield Unit

    Support per unit of Actual Production Total Annual Support divided by Actual Production units

    Support per unit of Program Production Total Annual Support divided by Program ProductionProgram Production is program yield multiplied by base acres

  • Measures of EquitabilitySupport Relative to CostsPer Acre Support Relative to Total Economic Costs Total Annual Support per planted acre divided by Total Economic Costs (includes depreciation, capital replacement, unpaid labor, etc.) per planted acre

    Per Acre Support Relative to Total Variable CostsTotal Annual Support per planted acre divided by Total Variable Costs per planted acre

  • Measures of EquitabilitySupport relative to valuePer Acre Support to Gross Value of Production Total Annual Support per planted acre divided by Gross Value of Production (excluding government payments) per planted acre

    Support per Yield Unit Relative to Price Divides Support per Actual Production by Price per unit. Support per Actual Production is Total Annual Support divided by Actual Production

    Total Annual Support/Total Value of Production Total Annual Support divided by Total Annual Value of Production as defined by NASS Used by Hart, C. in the Iowa Ag. Review

  • Measures of EquitabilityPayment Provisions relative to costs Target Price to Total Economic Costs Annual Target Price per unit divided by Total Economic Costs per unit Economic Costs per unit calculated by taking Total Economic Costs per planted acre divided by yield per acre Used by Keough, et al. in AFPC working paper 89-4 and Miller, et al. in AFPC working paper 95-2

    Target Price to Variable Costs Annual Target Price per unit divided by Variable Costs per unitVariable costs per unit calculated by taking Total Variable Costs per planted acre divided by yield per acre Used by Keough, et al. in AFPC working paper 89-4 and Miller, et al. in AFPC working paper 95-2

  • Measures of EquitabilityPayment Provisions relative to costsLoan Rate to Total Economic Costs Annual Loan Rate per unit divided by Total Economic Costs per unit Economic costs per unit calculated by taking Total Economic Costs per planted acre divided by yield per acre Used by Keough, et al. AFPC working paper 89-4

    Loan Rate to Variable Costs Annual Loan Rate per unit divided by Variable Costs per unitVariable costs per unit calculated by taking Total Variable Costs per planted acre divided by yield per acre Used by Keough, et al. AFPC working paper 89-4

  • Measures of EquitabilityPayment Provisions relative to ValueTarget Price relative to Price Annual Target Price divided by Price Used by Keough, et al. AFPC working paper 89-4

    Loan Rate relative to Price Annual Loan Rate divided by Price Used by Keough, et al. AFPC working paper 89-4

  • Measures of EquitabilityEffective benefits relative to effective costs

    Effective Benefits/Effective Variable CostsEffective benefits include direct payments, market price or loan rate, and for 2002, countercyclical payments Effective variable costs include variable costs and ARP costsUpdated formula used originally by Used by Keough, et al. AFPC working paper 89-4

  • Measures of EquitabilityEffective benefits relative to effective costs

    Effective Benefits/Effective Fixed CostsEffective benefits include direct payments, market price or loan rate, and for 2002, countercyclical payments Effective total economic costs include fixed costs reduced by ARP percentage and ARP costsUpdated formula used originally by Used by Keough, et al. AFPC working paper 89-4

  • Measures of EquitabilityEffective benefits relative to effective costs

    Effective Benefits/Effective Costs Effective benefits include direct payments, market price or loan rate, and for 2002, countercyclical payments Effective costs include variable costs, fixed costs, and ARP costsUpdated formula used originally by Used by Keough, et al. AFPC working paper 89-4
