USDA Revises Payment Limitation and Eligibility Rules for Farmers Following One Big Beautiful Bill Act

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a final rule amending regulations governing payment limitations and eligibility for federal farm programs. These changes align with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed by President Trump, which redefines 'qualified pass-through entities' to include a broader range of business structures. The new rule significantly alters how payment limits are calculated for these entities, potentially increasing the maximum payouts. It also revises 'actively engaged in farming' requirements and streamlines average adjusted gross income certification processes, effective June 2, 2026. The modifications aim to improve program administration and clarify existing provisions.

USDA FNS Proposes Revised SNAP Reporting Requirements: Increased Burden for States on Utility Allowances and Self-Employment Income

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has announced a significant revision to its information collection requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This update primarily impacts state agencies responsible for administering SNAP, increasing their reporting and recordkeeping burden related to establishing Standard Utility Allowances (SUAs) and methodologies for self-employment income.

USDA Suspends South Texas Onion Marketing Order Referendum Amid Ongoing Rulemaking

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has issued an interim final rule to temporarily suspend the continuance referendum requirement for the Federal marketing order governing South Texas onions. This action postpones the scheduled 2026 referendum until 2032. The suspension aims to prevent voter confusion by separating the continuance vote from a concurrent formal rulemaking process that may lead to amendments to the marketing order and could include a separate producer referendum. It also provides the industry with sufficient time to assess the impact of any potential new amendments before voting on the order's continuation.
