Farmers have started to receive their 2025 ARC and PLC payments. A record $14 billion in payments being made as part of last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill. Farm Service Agency Deputy Administrator Jared Hagert says the tax law gives farmers the higher ARC or PLC payment.regardless of the selection that was made. Payment limits were also bumped up. “From $125,000 to $150,000 starting with the 2025 crop year and there will be annual adjustments based on inflation.” With high input costs, the one year change in the ARC/PLC program is welcome news. “Those enhancements really translate into meaningful support for producers that are facing lower commodity prices and revenues and but helps producers manage the market volatility and maintain the financial strength of their operations.”
