Farmers provide the labor to plant and harvest the land. KUEA and the farmer then split the return on the crop.
Bill Kimmel, one of four farm managers employed by the Endowment Association, said the low prices had a direct effect on KUEA and their farmers.
"When commodity prices are below the price of production, something has to give," he said.
Kimmel advises 113 of KUEA's farmers on which crops to plant, the best kind of fertilizer to use and whether to subscribe to government programs.
Because of federal regulations, KUEA is unable to receive more than $50,000 from the government farm plan, he said. Kimmel tries to ensure
that it goes to the association's farmers who need it most, he said. He advises most of their farmers to stay out of the government program.
He said that the farm program was in the process of being rewritten and that the $50,000 limit could be changed.
Lester Flory, Route 5, who farms 120 acres of wheat, milo and soybean for the Endowment Association, said that this year's crop was good but prices were not and that operating expenses were rising.
rices for key crops such as wheat, soybeans, milo, corn and barley have gone down about 19 percent in the past two years while production costs have gone up 10-15 percent.
United Press International supplied some information for this story.

Strobli said the power failure made him realize that the hospital's own back-up energy generator didn't work properly.
"It normally gives us lights and electricity," he said, "but the generator didn't work for the first hour."
He said facilities operations workers had to work on the generator until it began giving power. The generator provides electricity for only about one-fourth of the building
William Pesek, operations manager of the Computer Center, said the two power supply sources to the center went down, so the system had to be operated manually.
Pesek said he had received few
complaints about the system being down because those buildings without electricity were the buildings that couldn't use their computers.
When power was restored to the 11 buildings, all computer equipment began working normally, he said.
Porter said that although the problem cable had been isolated and all power to campus had been restored, the cause of the malfunction and the exact location along the problem cable hadn't been discovered yet.
it could have been caused by moisture in the cable, by a faulty cable or by a mechanical failure," he said. "Now we have to open up the cable and check it. It's just a process of elimination."
He said electricity had been restored on campus about 2:45 p.m.

the KU Committee on South Africa in Anlil
"It offers an opportunity for people to talk." Ambler said. "Divestiture is one aspect of the problem. There are other things people could do to realize their concerns."
Topics discussed this summer included divestiture and bringing speakers on issues related to South Africa to campus. The group compiled a list of potential speakers to bring to the University of Kansas, Ambler said.
Campus anti-aparthid protests have focused on investments of the Kansas University Endowment Association in U.S. companies that do business in South Africa.
The Endowment Association is a private corporation that provides the
University of Kansas with money for scholarships, fellowships and professorships.
KU's role in the issue of divestment would be to ensure that the University provided an open forum for debate, Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said Monday.
Student and faculty governing bodies, including Student Senate and the University Council, have voted in favor of divestment, said Dwayne Fuhlage, Tonganoxie senior and a member of the KU Committee on South Africa.
"The Kansas University Endowment Association does have to answer to the University," Fuhhage said. "They are not a separate entity."
