Conclusions

Corn Acres

Expected total payment levels roughly equal across the three programs ACR payments are not guaranteed, lower direct payments

Soybean Acres

Higher expected payments for ACR, direct payments are about the same

Wheat Acres

Direct payments only given current price environment, lower under ACR

22 2 0 0 7 I llinois Farm Econom ic Sum m it

Conclusions Both House CC plans estimated to result in small chance of payments

Expected prices well above fixed target prices

Senate’s ACR plan estimated to pay more

  • ften with larger payments per acre

Revenue target moves with the market Yield trends used in the revenue guarantee are well above those used in the House plan Effect on direct payments differs by commodity

Conclusions Amount of risk reduction offered by each plan depends on how closely farm revenues track the guarantee

If farm-level yields are highly correlated with national- or state-level yields the revenue-based plans may provide more timely payments
