Government program payments for commodity and conservation programs to the farm sector have increased since 1997, averaging $16.2 billion over 1998-2010. Direct government payments are forecast to shrink to about $10.6 billion in calendar year 2011 due to a decrease in disaster payments, and in price-sensitive counter-cyclical payments, marketing loans and loan deficiency payments.
