The House Agriculture Committee voted Wednesday to ban federal subsidies to farmers with incomes averaging more than $1 million a year and stop farmers from collecting payments for multiple properties. Only farmers whose incomes exceed $2.5 million a year are now disqualified from such aid.
Its a copyrighted story so I didn't know if I could put it here or not but that's the gist of it. I think they could ban subsidies at $500,000 and it still wouldn't affect your average family farmer.
