Beginning with the 2026 crop year, new provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will change how the Farm Service Agency handles payment limitations for some farm businesses.
Faribault County FSA Executive Director Nicki Miranowski says qualifying LLCs, S Corporations and other pass through entities may be eligible for expanded payment limits if members meet the actively engaged in farming requirements. The changes are designed to give producers more flexibility in Structuring their operations while strengthening the farm safety net.
Miranowski says producers planning to restructure their operation for 2026 must have those changes finalized by September 15th and should update their farm operating plan with FSA. She also recommends consulting a crop insurance agent before making any changes.
The law also raises the ARC and PLC payment limitation from $125,000 to $155,000 beginning with the 2025 crop year, with feature increases tied to inflation.
