Family farmers who have difficulty reorganizing their finances under Chapter 11 or Chapter 13, may find this chapter to be less complicated and more fitting for their situation. This newest code was written with the family farmer in mind, though the original plan was to allow the law to expire when it was no longer necessary. Chapter 12 Bankruptcy is now a permanent part of the Bankruptcy Code.
Regular Annual Income
The chapter applies to family farmers who have “regular annual income” as defined by the regulations. The idea was to make sure that the person seeking debt relief had stable income that would allow payments under the reorganization plan. But, if your income is more seasonal, it’s possible Chapter 12 can be used.
