§ 59512 Commodity Production Proration

• •Proration is a way to fairly share how much of something (like crops) can be sold or made.
• •It makes sure everyone who makes or sells the same thing follows the same rules about how much they can produce or sell.
• •This helps control how much of that thing is available in the market at one time.

Imagine farmers growing oranges.

If there are too many oranges, the price drops and farmers lose money. Proration means each farmer can only sell a certain amount of oranges, so the market doesn’t get flooded, and prices stay fair.
