The value of direct payments depends
on historical production and local yields
C.
Edwin Young
The legislated payment
rates are commodity dependent—averaging
about $1 per acre for oats and close
to $100 per acre for rice. Payments
are concentrated in the major producing
areas: they are highest in California,
where rice and cotton are produced;
in the southeastern coastal plain, where
cotton and peanuts are produced; and
along the lower Mississippi River, where
cotton and rice are produced. Payments
per acre are also high in the midwestern
corn belt, where corn and soybeans are
the predominant crops.
