Six lawmakers wrote USDA in support of strong rules on who qualifies for farm subsidies on the grounds of being “actively engaged” in farming. “Lawmakers say there are cases of people being designated as management members of a corporate entity just to boost farm-program payments and get around the payment cap,” said DTN. A GAO report in 2013 cited one operation that classified 16 people as providing “active personal management only.” Iowa Sen Chuck Grassley has argued for allowing only one person to claim subsidy payments for providing management.
