USDA Under Secretary Richard Fordyce tells DTN that ARC and PLC payments for the 2025 crop year will not be disrupted and will begin after Oct. 1.
He says the payments will be significantly higher than in recent years due to changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Larger government payments can support farm income and reduce pressure to sell crops at harvest, which helps stabilize farmer marketing. The effect on feed prices is modest because the payments are a cash support, not a supply change.
