LDP (Loan Deficiency Payment)

A payment made when market prices fall below the USDA loan rate and the producer chooses not to take out a Marketing Assistance Loan.

Provides the same financial benefit as a marketing loan gain, but without taking out a loan.

Only available when the market price is below the loan rate.
