Rules Should Reflect The Law
Mark Lange
Implementation of the 2008 farm law is progressing, but the National Cotton Council is concerned the final rules are not closely reflecting the law's provisions and Congressional intent.
What about the process for implementing the payment eligibility rules?
In early January, USDA published a Final Rule establishing the regulations for the 2010 crop. The Final Rule follows the Interim Rule covering the 2009 crop and continues an alarming trend of USDA ignoring Congressional intent. With the exception of some relief in the determination of "actively-engaged-in-farming" for certain smaller operations, the Final Rule reinforces the onerous restrictions contained in the Interim Rule. The NCC has a number of ongoing concerns that have been conveyed both in comments and in testimony.
