Evaluating participation in the 1984 corn program
1983
Lin, W. | Leath, M.
Extract: This article compares expected net returns from participation in the 1984 corn program with returns from nonparticipation under various price scenarios. A producer's expectations of corn prices and yields are the most crucial factors. For example, if farmers expect corn prices at harvest-time to fall between $2.60 and $2.80 per bushel, the rate of participation in the 1984 program is likely to be between 28 and 34 percent. Compliance could be even less than 28 percent if corn prices anticipated by farmers turn out to be higher than $2.80.
