# Farmers thankful for payments, but prefer market access - Farm and Dairy

> Ohio farmers say the $12 billion Market Facilitation Program is worth applying for, though they doubt it will fully offset losses from the 2018 trade war. Payment rates include $1.65 per bushel for soybeans, 14 cents for wheat and 1 cent for corn, with a January 15 application deadline.

## Why it matters

Payments help sustain farm income and keep grain marketings and acreage decisions from being driven entirely by low prices. Farmers still prefer restored export access, so the underlying demand loss continues to weigh on soybean prices.
