A severe drought can actually lessen the total amount of government aid that United States farmers receive as a group. The government pays farmers the amount, if any, by which the market price at which crops are actually sold falls short of a preset target price per bushel for the crops. The drought of 1983, for example, caused farm-program payments to drop by 10 billion
Given the information above, which of the following, If true, best explains why the drought of 1983 resulte4d in a reduction in farm-program payments?
a .prior to the drought o9f 1983, the government raised the target price for crops in order to aid farmers in reducing their debt loads
b.due to the drought of 1983 , united states farmers exported less food in 1983 than in the preceding year
c.due to the drought of 1983, united states farmers had smaller harvests and thus received a higher market price for the 1983 crop than for larger crop of the preceding year.
d.Due to the drought of 1983,united states farmers planned to plant smaller crops in 1983 than the had in 1983
e.Despite the drought of 1983, retail prices for food did not increase significantly between 1982 and 1983

答案是c
我对题目的理解是政府补助=market price--preset target price
那么c说市价上升怎么理解呢?

产量下跌，价格当然就涨喽。

还有，政府补助应该是 preset target price - actually market price at the harvest time。

虽然产量少了，但是农民并没有少卖钱。所以补助就少了。
