The cotton farms of Country Q became so productive that the market could not absorb all that they produced. Consequently, cotton prices fell. The government tried to boost cotton prices by offering farmers who took 25 percent of their cotton acreage out of production direct support payments up to a specified maximum per farm.

　　The government’s program, if successful, will not be a net burden on the budget. Which of the following, if true, is the best basis for an explanation of how this could be so?

　　(A) Depressed cotton prices meant operating losses for cotton farms, and the government lost revenue from taxes on farm profits.

　　(B) Cotton production in several counties other than Q declined slightly the year that the support-payment program went into effect in Q.

　　(C) The first year that the support-payment program was in effect, cotton acreage in Q was 5% below its level in the base year for the program.

　　(D) The specified maximum per farm meant that for very large cotton farms the support payments were less per acre for those acres that were withdrawn from production than they were for smaller farms.(A)

　　(E) Farmers who wished to qualify for support payments could not use the cotton acreage that was withdrawn from production to grow any other crop.

题目：Q国棉花供大于求，导致棉花价格下降。
政府为了提高棉花价格，推出一个计划，如果棉农把25%的地休耕或种其他（反正别种棉花），就能够获得政府一定补助。

如果计划成功的话，这个计划并不会给政府的财政预算带来负担。是为什么呢？

A。如果棉花价格下降，棉农收入少了，政府税收也会下降。

题目是 will not be a net burden on the budget
指的是这些补偿不会是纯负担,即还能从别的地方收回来一点

我一开始也考虑错了,想的是政府的补偿措施一定能全收回来的方法
后来觉得这题只要找一个稍微有点补偿的即可
