GENERAL INFORMATION ON AVERAGE ADJUSTED GROSS INCOMEPART A
Individuals or legal entities that receive benefits under most programs administered by CCC cannot have incomes that exceed a certain limit set by law. For
entities, both the entity itself, and its members cannot exceed the income limitation. If a member, whether an individual or an entity, of an entity exceeds the
limitation, 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 the limitation is 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. Individuals or legal entities with average adjusted gross income greater than $900,000 shall be ineligible for all payments and
benefits under the commodity, price support, disaster assistance, and conservation programs.

described. Further, for a person or legal entity to be considered actively engaged in farming for program payment purposes, the contributions of the person or legal
entity must be at-risk and commensurate with the person's or legal entity's claimed share of the profit and loss of the farming operation. Failure to meet these
requirements will result in the determination of ineligibility for payments under programs specified in 7 CFR Part 1400.
2.
INTEREST IN A FARMING OPERATIONa person or legal entity is considered to have an interest in a particular farming operation if the person or legal
entity owns or rents land to or from that farming operation; has an interest in the agricultural commodities produced on the operation; or is a member of a joint
operation that either owns or rents land to or from the farming operation, or has an interest in the agricultural commodities produced on that operation.
3. JOINT OPERATION - is a general partnership, joint venture, or similar organization.
4. PERSONis a natural person (an individual) and does not include a legal entity.

livestock production for the farming operation.
6.
