Farm Program Integrity Act of 2023

The Farm Program Integrity Act of 2023 sets new limits on federal farm payments to ensure they primarily benefit active farmers. It caps payments at $75,000 for marketing loan gains or deficiency payments per crop year and restricts total payments for farming operations: $250,000 if multiple active managers are involved, or $125,000 if only one is actively managing the farm. The bill requires "active personal management" (meaning owners must work the farm regularly) and reduces payments for entities where owners don’t meet this standard. These rules directly affect farmers, farm partnerships, and corporations receiving federal crop subsidies under current programs.
