Our friends at the Center for Rural Affairs have released an excellent report today analyzing payment limits and the lack of reform in current proposals. An excerpt:

The findings of this study indicate that eliminating the three entity rule and instituting direct attribution of payments, as proposed by the House and Senate farm bills, would do little to reduce direct payments to the nation’s largest farms. In fact, the House bill would increase payments to the largest farms. Under the Senate bill, the vast majority of farmers currently utilizing the three entity rule to double the nominal payment limit would simply achieve the same result through the spouse rule.
