enue comparison, Table 1 compares revenues in each of the farm bill years (2014 and 2018 forecast) to the five-year Olympic average of revenues for the years leading up to the farm bill years (2009 to 2013 and 2013 to 2017, respectively). While all four crops are in a relatively better revenue position in 2018 compared to 2014, the forecast for cotton revenue would place that crop in a significantly improved situation as the 2018 forecast is 117% of the five-year Olympic average (2013 to 2017).
