Payment limits of $125,000 per commodity and $250,000 per entity were part of the COVID-19 agricultural assistance package from USDA. That was considered unworkable by numerous commodity groups.

Peterson said USDA will eliminate those payment limits going forward. Peterson also said the latest coronavirus relief bill “is getting out of control” and has no bipartisan support.
