Page 2 of 2
GENERAL INFORMATION ON AVERAGE ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME –PART A
Individuals or legal entities that receive benefits under most commodity and conservation programs administered by CCC cannot have incomes that exceed certain limits set by
law. For entities, both the entity itself, and its members cannot exceed the income limitations. If a member, whether an individual or an entity, of an entity exceeds the limitations,
payments to that entity will be commensurately reduced according to that member’ s direct or indirect ownership share in the entity. (All members of the entity must also submit
this form to verify income limitations are met.)
Adjusted Gross Income is the individual’ s or legal entity’ s IRS-reported adjusted gross income consisting of both farm and nonfarm income. A three year average of that income
will be computed for the three years of the relevant base period identified on the first page of this form to determine eligibility for the applicable program year. For 2012 only,
individuals or legal entities with average adjusted gross income greater than $1 million shall be ineligible for direct payments under the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program
Adjusted Gross Farm Income is the part of the yearly adjusted gross income that is farm income. The amount is computed separately for each year and then averaged. Farm
income means income related to the following: production of crops, livestock, fish and aquaculture for food; the feeding and rearing of livestock; products produced or derived
from livestock; production of specialty crops and unfinished raw forestry products; processing packing, storing and transporting farm, ranch and forestry commodities including
renewable energy; production of farm-based renewable energy; the sale of land used for agriculture; sale of land or sale of easements and development rights to agricultural land,
water and hunting rights, and environmental benefits; rental or lease of land or equipment used in farming, ranching, forestry operation; payments and benefits from risk
management practices, crop insurance indemnities, catastrophic risk protection plans, conservation program and government farm program payments. Individuals or legal
entities with average adjusted gross farm income greater than $750,000 shall be ineligible for direct payments under the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program
Adjusted Gross Nonfarm Income is the difference for the year between the filer’ s adjusted gross income and the filer’ s adjusted gross farm income. The difference is computed
separately for each year and then averaged. Individuals or legal entities with average adjusted gross nonfarm income that exceeds $500,000 shall be ineligible for commodity
program payments, price support benefits, disaster assistance programs, and for the Milk Income Loss Compensation Program. Additionally, individuals or legal entities with
average adjusted gross nonfarm income exceeding $1 million will be ineligible for new contracts or participation in conservation programs after October 1, 2008, unless at least
66.66% of their total average adjusted gross income (sum of farm and nonfarm income) is generated from activities related to farming.
