                 REPORT TO THE CONGRESS





                 BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
     ,. :.        OF THE UNITED STATES


                                                               LM102133






                  Federal Deficiency Payments

                  Should Not Be Made

                  For Crops Not Grown



                  Department of Agriculture




                  The Commodity Credit Corporation is making
                  an estimated $135 million in deficiency pay-
                  ments to rice farmers for the 1976 rice crop.
                  These payments are based on the extent that
                  the national average market price received by
                  rice farmers was below a target price estab-
                  lished by law. About $5 million of this
                  amount will be paid for rice not grown and
                  thus not marketed.
                  The situation in which payments would be
                  made on unplanted and thus unmarketed
                  crops could arise under the 1977 rice, wheat,
                  and feed grain programs and under future pro-
                  grams for these crops should current legisla-
                  tion be extended.

                  Legislative proposals have been made to pre-
                  clude deficiency payments on unplanted
                  crops. Some such legislation should b  err;
