	Notes: A crop year is a two-year marketing window from September of the year previous to harvest through August of the year after harvest. Average proportions for 1995-2004 are computed over the full set of advisory programs. As a result, averages of individual crop year proportions may not equal the average proportions reported for 1995-2004.
