PARKER, Colo. (RFD-TV) — A major change is coming to how farm program payments are distributed under Title I of the upcoming Farm Bill, with new rules impacting what types of business entities can receive multiple payments.
Farm CPA expert Paul Neiffer joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to explain the implications for producers and ag businesses.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Neiffer discussed the recent adjustments that affect LLCs and S corporations, noting that these entities may now qualify for more than one payment under certain ownership and operational structures—something previously limited by program rules. However, he cautioned that the details matter, especially regarding how management and active participation are defined for each member.
He also explained how C corporations will be treated differently under the new framework and what that means for larger or more diversified family operations. Finally, Neiffer addressed whether general partnerships should consider converting to an LLC structure in light of these changes, emphasizing the importance of consulting with a qualified tax professional before making any moves.
