"It'll be different for each and every individual farmer based on the percentage of their eligable net sales. So total, it's a $400,000,000 program, we figure there's going to be somewhere between 200,000 and 225,000 farmers that will be eligable for this cost of production payment.
The initial payment will be based on 2.36 percent of a producer’s net sales for 2000-2004.
