	THINKING ABOUT COUNTER CYCLICAL PAYMENTS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		On July 9 a central Illinois elevator's wheat bid was $2.90 per bushel and the mid-point of the USDA's estimate of the average farm price was $3.10 (range $2.80 to $3.40).
		It is important to note that this potential loss of 24 cents per bushel of counter cyclical payments has nothing to do with USDA, but rather with market forces that can quickly change farm prices, and the manner in which Congress decided to calculate the counter cyclical payments.
		The most that can be lost is 12 cents per bushel if subsequent prices rise, with the possibility that they could increase to 34 cents if the average yearly price falls to $1.98 or less.
