FAQ – Step 7

I have a quick question on the $125K benefit cap per year under the new Farm Bill… is this per crop, or a global cap @ $125K?  And if I understood right, the payment cap increases to $250K for a married farmer.  Does the spouse have to be registered with FSA, or is this limit set automatically due to marital status?

The payment limit is $125,000 per individual (i.e., directly attributed to the actual person). If a spouse is considered actively engaged on the farm, then the payment limitation would be $250,000 or $125,000 per individual. The limit applies across the programs (ARC-CO, ARC-IC and PLC) as well as any marketing loan gains or loan deficiency payments. The total payments are added together and limited in total.
