Loan Deficiency Payments are payments made to producers who, though eligible
to obtain a Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan, forgo the loan in return
for a payment on the eligible commodity. LDP's represent the last of the
"safety net" type programs left in the wake of the Freedom to Farm provisions
of the 1996 Farm Bill.
The LDP rate is the difference between the County Loan Rate and the Posted
County Price. The Posted County Price must be below the county loan rate
for LDP's to be available. The Posted County Price is the terminal market
price adjusted by CCC's County Average Location Differentials to reflect
the local cash price. The Posted County Price is available each business
day from the county FSA office and from the Wilson Creek Union Grain office
or its web site.
