USDA released per-acre payment rates for row crops under the Farmer Bridge Assistance program, with corn at $44.36, soybeans at $30.88 and wheat at $39.35. Payments are expected by the end of February.
Per-acre payments are fixed and not tied to current production, so they have limited direct effect on feed grain prices, though they may support planted acreage.
