Notes: Net advisory prices and benchmark prices are stated on a harvest equivalent basis. A crop year is a two-year marketing window from September of the year previous to harvest through August of the year after harvest. N/A denotes "Not Applicable," since the indicated program did not exist or was not evaluated for the given crop year. The average, minimum, maximum and range are computed across the advisory program averages in the indicated column. As a result, the statistics reflect performance only for those advisory programs active during each of the indicated crop years.										0.89	0.05
