Charlie and Lee;
We have not been able to extract the info of whether this programs contributions will be counted as a farm expense... can someone let us know for sure!
Supernisa will cost $20,000 worth of cash flow... on $95,000 of margin coverage... a new deductable of $5,000 is being applied... I guess because of WTO trade reasons...
$100,000 to $95,000 at the farmer's risk totally;
$95,000 to $85,000 is shared 50/50% between the gov. and farmer; $5,000 farmer contribution...
$85,000 to $70,000 is shared 70/30% between the gov. and the farmer; $4,500 farmer contribution...
$70,000 to 0 margin is shared 85/15% between the gov. and the farmer; $10,500 farmer contribution...
This adds up to a contribution of $20,000 for $95,000 of margin coverage.
This should make the bankers happy, lending money to farmers everywhere...
Accountants will now get mega hours of work... before our year even begins... as we are supposed to "precalculate" what our margin is... before the crop is even planted...
How on earth is this all supposed to happen for 2003...
when the program design is still a moving target ...
Does anyone even know what the "Production Margin" components are yet?
