But of the amendments the House is willing to consider, KRC urges support for the Fortenberry amendment #93, which would restore common sense and fiscal integrity by capping total commodity benefits at $250,000 per year for any one farm. Under the amendment, the annual per-farm cap on payments would be $50,000 ($100,000 for married couples) and the cap on marketing loan gain benefits would be $75,000 ($150,000 for married couples), for a combined total of $250,000 per married couple. This amendment would also close existing loopholes to ensure that payments are targeted to the intended recipients, working farmers.
Another amendment warranting support is the Thompson-Fortenberry amendment #28 which links commodity crop insurance payments with conservation requirements. This amendment is the first step toward linking conservation accountability to crop insurance subsidies.
