Under IRC Section 77, farmers can elect to report CCC loan proceeds as Schedule F income, triggering Social Security earnings even without selling a crop.
In 2026, net farm profit above $24,480 costs pre-retirement-age farmers $1 in Social Security benefits for every $2 earned over the limit.
The Section 77 election binds future years too, so farmers should compare tax outcomes and review their earnings history before committing.

On a team loaded with future college stars and five-star talents like Tennessee running back commit David Gabriel Georges, another name has commanded the headlines just as a much as the Baylor School senior running back.
Freshman Marshall Manning, the son of NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, transferred to the Chattanooga program in eighth grade with his future laid out as the eventual starting quarterback of one of Tennessee's premier private school powers.
On Thusday, Aug. 20, the nation got to see the younger Manning earn his first ever varsity action in his backup role for the Red Raiders. While it may have just been two snaps and may have come as a shock to everyone watching the ESPN2 broadcast of Baylor's 38-20 win over Brentwood Academy (TN), those two snaps were in the cards leading up to the game.
They also won't be the only two snaps Marshall experience this season.
"We planned it," Baylor head coach Erik Kimrey said following the win. "I want Marshall to play in every game this year, even if it's just two plays like that. Hopefully it'll be a lot more. We need him next year and he needs to be ready."

On August 7, AdvanSix (NYSE:ASIX) reported second-quarter sales of $421 million, up about 3% from a year earlier, while adjusted EBITDA fell $24 million to $32 million and adjusted EPS dropped $1.50 to $0.19. Behind those numbers sits a story of two forces pulling in opposite directions: a $72 million year-over-year jump in raw material costs, and a fertilizer season where farmers spent less than the company expected. What stands out is how completely AdvanSix priced its way through the cost spike, even as volume told a rougher story.
The quarter's 3% sales growth broke down into 18% favorable pricing against a 15% volume decline. Raw material pass-through pricing rose 13% as benzene and propylene costs climbed, while market-based pricing improved 5%, largely on higher plant nutrient pricing tied to sulfur input costs. That combination fully offset the $72 million raw material headwind for the quarter, and the swing looked even sharper sequentially: a $10 million net price/cost headwind in the first quarter flipped into a $39 million tailwind in the second. AdvanSix also closed out the full fertilizer year near a record for domestic granular ammonium sulfate volume, supported by progress toward a 75% ammonium sulfate granular conversion mix, with its sustained growth program generating returns above 30%.
Looking ahead, the company plans to grow ammonia sales volume 30% in 2026 against 2025's already record year, and it is applying for a USDA grant to expand ammonia capacity further. Management also pointed to a stronger cash flow picture in the back half of 2026, citing a lower capital spending run rate, working capital tailwinds from the fourth quarter fertilizer pre-buy program, and 45Q carbon capture tax credits.
The same quarter that showed pricing discipline also showed real demand strain. Plant nutrient volume came in below expectations as rising grower input costs met steady, lower crop and grain prices, squeezing farmer profitability enough to cut overall fertilizer consumption and drive a $17 million unfavorable volume impact. A planned ammonia plant turnaround, shifted into the quarter to align with a supplier's pipeline inspection, added another $4 million operational hit. Sulfur costs have been a bigger problem still. The Tampa sulfur marker closed at a record $705 per long ton in the third quarter, up from $655 in the second, and AdvanSix estimates every $100 per long ton move costs it roughly $35 million a year.
