Cost to plant Extended and Standard mix at each site-year, potential Maryland Agricultural Cost Share (MACS) program incentive payment, and the net cost of the operation (planting cost – incentive). Subsidy is sum of the MACS incentives for which the treatments qualified (MDA 2020a). Each row represents one site-year with actual seeding rates used, and planting costs estimated from median 2021 cost of drill planting, aerial seeding, and seed costs given by Dill (2021).
