A Market Directed Inventory System(MDIS) Daryll E. Ray and Harwood D. Schaffer Agricultural Policy Analysis Center University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture National Farmers Union February 29, 2012
Policy Description Objectives • Bulk of revenue from market receipts • Reduce government payments while maintaining farm income • Reduce price volatility
Policy Description MDIS Specifications for 1998-2010 Study Period • Initial corn loan rate set at midpoint between variable and full cost of production • Indexed with a prices paid by farmers index • Other crop loan rates set to historic ratios with corn • Release price is set at 160% of loan rate
Policy Description MDIS Specifications for 1998-2010 Study Period • MDIS maximums • Corn – 3 billion bushels • Wheat – 800 million bushels • Soybeans – 400 million bushels • Farmer storage payment rate 40¢/bu./yr • Set-aside available if needed • Eliminate Direct Payments, LDPs, & CCPs

Summary of Findings Over the Study Period, 1998-2010, with MDIS in Place: • Government payments 60% lower • Increased crop prices and increased reliance on market receipts • Value of exports $4.9 billion higher • Lower price volatility benefitting: • Consumers • Crop farmers • Livestock producers and industrial users
Policy in an Uncertain Future Two sets of analyses: • A “future” represented by the 2012 USDA baseline (Baseline) • A “future” roughly patterned after the historical experience of 1996-2010 and the supply variation we experienced
