Payment limits originally proposed for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program were previously deemed unworkable by many agriculture groups. Final details of the program reveal slight changes were made to those caps. Per person or entity, the payments are limited to $250,000 and applies to the total payment amount for all eligible commodities. The payment limit per corporation with one shareholder is $250,000. For entities with two shareholders it is $500,000 and $750,000 for three shareholders per entity. Producers will receive 80 percent of the maximum total payment upon approval. The remaining portion of the payment, not to exceed the payment limit, will be paid later as funds remain available.
