Update: Farm Service Agency Announcement
Friday, June 13, 2008
The Farm Service Agency has announced that payment eligibility and payment limitation rules under the 2002 Farm Bill will remain in place for 2008. Apparently, the delay in passing the Farm Bill will not allow FSA to implement the new rules for this year. Producers should likely sign up for 2008 programs as they have the past few years. I would not suggest making significant business structure changes until the final rules and regulations come out later this year. While the Farm Bill is passed, there likely still remains a significant amount of interpretation to be done by USDA and FSA. Until we know USDA and FSA’s precise interpretations, any business restructuring is risky. For assistance with this program, please contact us by clicking here.
