On his change.gov transition website, President-elect Obama promises to "Fight for farm programs that provide family farmers with stability and predictability. Implement a $250,000 payment limitation so we help family farmers -- not large corporate agribusiness. Close the loopholes that allow mega farms to get around payment limits."
Cutting subsidy payments at $250,000 was the same level sought by President Bush (and overridden by Congress with Obama's help).
