Notes:  Net cash sales price is calculated as (1) - (2) - (3). Net advisory price is calculated as (4) + (5) - (6) + (7), and therefore, is stated on a harvest equivalent basis. Market and farmer benchmark prices also are stated on a harvest equivalent basis. LDP stands for loan deficiency payment and MLG stands for marketing loan gain. The 2004 crop year is a two-year marketing window from September 2003 through August 2005.
