Under the 2008 Farm Bill extension, all payment eligibility and payment limitation provisions were extended, including AGI

limitations for the 2013 crop year, program year and fiscal year.

All rules and requirements effective for 2012 program payments and benefits are applicable to eligible recipients of 2013 program payments and benefits, including the requirements of actively engaged in farming, cash-rent tenant, substantive change, minor child, and spousal provisions. Payments will continue to be limited by direct attribution to person and legal entity. All average AGI limitations for commodity, price support, disaster assistance, and conservation programs are also continued for 2013 including the $1 million average AGI limitation for 2013 direct payments.

The average AGI for 2013 payment eligibility purposes will be based on the average AGI amounts for the 3-year period of

2009, 2010, and 2011. Producers will be required to complete a new AGI compliance certification and written consent for disclosure for 2013 using form CCC-933, which is a new form for 2013. The CCC-933 must be completed by the person or legal entity earning 2013 program payments or benefits either directly or indirectly.

Producers may obtain CCC-933 at their local USDA Service Center or online at  www.fsa.usda.gov/ccc933.
