In a reversal of the President’s central campaign pledge on rural policy, the administration has refused to close the biggest loophole in the federal farm payment limitation. In Iowa, candidate Obama pledged to take immediate action to close loopholes by limiting payments to active farmers who work the land and their landlords.

But in January the Obama administration failed to act by releasing regulations that continue this gaping loophole. As a result, mega-farms will keep claiming unlimited payments. Sign our petition and urge the administration to reconsider their action.
