Farm payment limits and eligibility requirements are being updated. Starting with the 2026 crop year, the Farm Service Agency is treating applicable limited liability companies and S-Corporations as pass-through entities. Previously, farms that were structured as an LLC or an S-Corp were limited to a single payment limitation. Now, partnerships, S-Corps, qualifying LLCs, and joint ventures or general partnerships will be treated the same. FSA Administrator Bill Beam said this gives farmers more flexibility and provides a greater safety net. For this program year only, the newly qualified pass-through entities must file operating plans with FSA by September 15.
