USD A Announces Loan Rates
For 2008-crop Peanuts
USDA’s Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC)
today announced 2008-crop
loan rates for four types of
peanuts.
CCC calculated the price
support levels for each peanut
type using the same method
as last year. CCC uses the
national average loan rate of
$355.00 per ton and five-year
average quality factors along
with a three-year simple
average weighted production.
The rates take effect Aug. 1,
2008, the beginning of the
peanut crop year.
CCC computes the 2008-
crop peanut loan levels and
grades based on the type,
quality and location of this
year’s peanut crop. For an
average-grade ton of 2008-
crop peanuts, loan levels by
type are:
Runner-type peanuts -
$354.75 per ton
Spanish-type peanuts -
$348.95 per ton
- $357.32 per ton
Virginia-type peanuts
- $357.32 per ton
CCC applies premiums and
discounts for quality factors
to compute the loan value for
an individual ton of peanuts.
The actual loan level depends
on the percent of various
sizes of kernels in each ton.
CCC uses the percentage
of sound mature kernels
(SMK) and sound splits (SS)
to compute the basic loan
value of the load. SMKs are
whole kernels that pass over
the testing screen officially
designated for each type
of peanut. Sound splits are
whole kernels split into two
pieces. Excess sound splits
receive discounts.
There are discounts for
other kernels (OK), damaged
kernels (DK), and foreign
materials (FM). An ad
ditional discount occurs for
loose shell kernels (LSK).
Other quality discounts may
Valencia-type peanuts also apply.
