View source for Price support

Programs operated by [[USDA]] that are intended to raise [[farm prices]] when supply exceeds demand and prices are unacceptably low. Support usually is achieved through [[nonrecourse loans]], payments, and purchases. Some commodities are designated in the law to receive mandatory support; others may be supported at the discretion of USDA. Over time, policy changes have shifted toward farm income support and away from commodity price support.
