Issue:
Whether certain government farm program payments are property of the estate?
Ruling:
Under Drewes v. Vote (In re Vote), 276 F.3d 1024 (8th Cir. 2002), government farm program payments related to a pre-petition crop year are not property of the bankruptcy estate if the legislation creating the payments was enacted post-petition. That decision controlled here, where the same facts existed. Accordingly, the funds were not property of the estate.
