still a good gig now that' they've bought up all the land and have new machines.
Meanwhile, CBO has reduced its estimate of the cost of commodity programs — which are designed to trigger when market prices fall — due to a surge in commodity prices that started in 2020.
CBO estimates farmers will receive just $480 million in Price Loss Coverage payments in FY23 and $422 million in FY24. That’s down from the $838 million and $2.3 billion CBO had previously estimated in 2021 for those years. PLC payments trigger when market prices fall below the program's reference prices. The Agriculture Risk Coverage county-level program, which triggers payments based on fluctuations from a moving five-year average, is expected to pay out a total of just $76 million for FY23 and FY24.
CBO expects farmers to receive an average of $6 a bushel for their 2022 corn crop but just $4.45 in 2023 and $4.10 in 2024 before remaining relatively flat in ensuing years. Market prices are expected to decline sharply for other commodities as well. As a result, total PLC payments for all commodities are expected to rise to $5 billion by FY27 and FY28.
