The figure is based on the average price farmers received from 1996 to 1998.

The farmers received a good price even though there was too much butter for the market.

One farmer has just received a bill for seven hundred pounds.

"Of course the farmers haven't received compensation for their land," he said.

Domestic farmers receive high, higher prices, but what happens to, to the world market?

So farmers who are forced off their properties receive nothing right now for the land they have lost.

"On average, farmers will receive about 50 percent of the value that would have been expected from their crops."

From 1974 to 1980 farmers received $3 billion in disaster payments.

Farmers generally receive around 8% of the final retail price.

The money is not tied to what the farmer actually received for his crop.
