Which Is Better--CFAP Or MFP?

After spending over two hours yesterday writing the blog post on the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), I thought today I would write up an example showing how the CFAP payment for a corn and bean farmer may compare to the 2019 Market Facilitation Program (MFP) payment.
Remember that the CFAP payment was designed to solely reimburse farmers who had inventory on hand that COVID-19 affected the pricing of that inventory. It was not designed to provide payments for crops sold and cash collected.
