Suggested Introduction 1:

USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) recently published a final rule implementing changes in payment limit provisions enacted in the 2018 farm law. Principally, the rule addressed the changes made in the definition of family farm eligibility amending the definition of linear families to include first cousins, nieces and nephews. However, in addition to this definition change, the FSA made other changes to the definition of actively engaged (AE). The National Cotton Council and other organizations, along with House and Senate agriculture committees and key Congressional staff, recognized this significant change and brought it to FSA's attention. Reece Langley, Vice President of Washington Operations for the National Cotton Council, joins us with more details.
