Megafarms Don't Need Unlimited Government Subsidies!

In the final hours of debate on the 2014 Farm Bill, Congress stripped the popular bi-partisan reform that would have tightened what it means to be “actively engaged” in farming. Without this definition, mega-farmers use this as a loophole to multiply their payments for every acre they add to their operation. This hurts small and mid-sized family farmers too, who aren't getting rich from farm payments. The time has come for the Obama Administration to fulfill their 2007 campaign pledge and close the loopholes mega-farms use to get around farm program payment limits.
