The Farm Service Agency is correcting the farm payment eligibility rules it published in August. To be considered as ‘actively engaged’ in farming, the rule said payment recipients must provide either 25 percent of a farm’s total management hours on an annual basis or perform at least 500 hours of management each year. With the update, the FSA requirements only apply to farm operations that are made up of non-family members where there is a limit to the number of farm managers that can qualify as actively engaged in farming.
