Farmers oppose lowering farm payment limits in August debate
Donald Johnson of Plains Cotton Growers warns that reducing the payment cap from 50 000 to 25 000 could be penny wise and pound foolish. He argues lower limits would raise prices for producers and government costs, while USDA data shows potential savings but rests on false assumptions. Johnson notes few payees exceed 25 000 yet control a large share of payments, risking wider production and budget strain.
