When did AFSC change the SPE payouts?

[Ooofty]

When it was first announced durum was $3.57/bushel. I recieved my cheque and it only was for $2.94. Anyone know why?

[vvalk]

it should be for $2.97. You got your cheque? I thought they were going come out in the new year, Come by mail?

[Ooofty]

Yeah I got it today. I thought it was not coming till January. It was 2.97 or 2.94 but back a month or so ago I downloaded the payment sheet off AFSC's website it had a bigger payout for durum and barley too.

[Ooofty]

Yeah it was 2.94 and it did come in the mail.

The calculated low protein durum fall price is $3.78/bu. The payout amount is $2.97/bu.

You took the high protein. Calculated fall price is
$3.97. Payout is $2.94.

Just to make, you aren't complaining about the
payout?

[Ooofty]

The day the payouts were announced the payouts were higher then they are now. I printed it off that first day. Why did they lower them? Told one of my landlords who gets a share of it. Now I have to explain to him he is getting less then expected too!!!

You would have to show me the quote/release. The SPE has always been the
same from what I know based on the fall price calculation. The official AFSC
table is the one hot link I posted.

Hi Charlie, I faxed it at 11:43 this morning.

I got my award and it was exactly what I was expecting. The 2.97 was always the durum amount as far as I could see. Very happy with the price endorsement program this year. Do farmers have to complain about everything? Answer: Yes.
