§ 1321. Legislative finding of effect on interstate
and foreign commerce and necessity of regu-
lation
Corn is a basic source of food for the Nation,
and corn produced in the commercial corn-pro-
ducing area moves almost wholly in interstate
and foreign commerce in the form of corn, live-
stock, and livestock products.
Abnormally excessive and abnormally defi-
cient supplies of corn acutely and directly af-
fect, burden, and obstruct interstate and foreign
commerce in corn, livestock, and livestock prod-
ucts. When abnormally excessive supplies exist,
transportation facilities in interstate and for-
eign commerce are overtaxed, and the handling
and processing facilities through which the flow
of interstate and foreign commerce in corn, live-
stock, and livestock products is directed become
acutely congested. Abnormally deficient sup-
plies result in substantial decreases in livestock
production and in an inadequate flow of live-
stock and livestock products in interstate and
foreign commerce, with the consequence of un-
reasonably high prices to consumers.
Violent fluctuations from year to year in the
available supply of corn disrupt the balance be-
tween the supply of livestock and livestock
products moving in interstate and foreign com-
merce and the supply of corn available for feed-
ing. When available supplies of corn are exces-
sive, corn prices are low and farmers overexpand
livestock production in order to find outlets for
corn. Such expansion, together with the relative
scarcity and high price of corn, forces farmers to
market abnormally excessive supplies of live-
stock in interstate commerce at sacrifice prices,
endangering the financial stability of producers,
and overtaxing handling and processing facili-
ties through which the flow of

§ 1326. Adjustment of farm marketing quotas
(a) Whenever in any county or other area the
Secretary finds that the actual production of
corn plus the amount of corn stored under seal
in such county or other area is less than the
normal production of the marketing percentage
of the farm acreage allotments in such county
or other area, the Secretary shall terminate
farm marketing quotas for corn in such county
or other area.
(b) Whenever, upon any farm, the actual pro-
duction of the acreage of corn is less than the
normal production of the marketing percentage
of the farm acreage allotment, there may be
marketed, without penalty, from such farm an
amount of corn from the corn stored under seal
pursuant to section 1324 of this title which, to-
gether with the actual production of the then
current crop, will equal the normal production
of the marketing percentage of the farm acreage
allotment.
(c) Whenever, in any marketing year, mar-
keting quotas are not in effect with respect to
the crop of corn produced in the calendar year in
which such marketing year begins, all mar-
keting quotas applicable to previous crops of
corn shall be terminated.

**(a)** The Secretary shall provide for ascertaining, by measurement or otherwise, the acreage of any agricultural commodity or land use on farms for which the ascertainment of such acreage is necessary to determine compliance under any program administered by the Secretary. Insofar as practicable, the acreage of the commodity and land use shall be ascertained prior to harvest, and, if any acreage so ascertained is not in compliance with the requirements of the program the Secretary, under such terms and conditions as he prescribes, may provide a reasonable time for the adjustment of the acreage of the commodity or land use to the requirements of the program. Where cotton is planted in skiprow patterns, the same rules that were in effect for the 1971 through 1973 crops for classifying the acreage planted to cotton and the area skipped shall also apply to the 1974 through 1995 crops, except that, for the 1991 through 1995 crops, the rules shall allow 30 inch rows (or, at the option of those cotton producers who had an established practice of using 32 inch rows before the 1991 crop, 32 inch rows) to be taken into account for classifying the acreage planted to cotton and the area skipped. For the 1992 through 1995 crops, the rules establishing the requirements for eligibility for conserving use for payment acres shall be the same rules as were in effect for 1991 crops.
**(b)** With respect to cotton, the Secretary, upon such terms and conditions as he may by regulation prescribe, shall provide, through the county and local committees for the measurement prior to planting of an acreage on the farm equal to the farm acreage allotment if so requested by the farm operator, and any farm on which the acreage planted to cotton does not exceed such measured acreage shall be deeme

this title) shall, except as provided herein, be
considered for the purpose of establishing future
State, county and farm acreage allotments, to

year on such farm, but the 1956 acreage allot-

operator on such farm notified the county com-

Provided, That beginning with the 1960 crop, ex-
cept for federally owned land, the current farm
acreage allotment established for a commodity
shall not be preserved as history acreage pursu-
ant to the provisions of this section unless for
the current year or either of the two preceding
years an acreage equal to 75 per centum or more
of the farm acreage allotment for such year or,
in the case of upland cotton on a farm which

§ 1379a. Legislative findings
Wheat, in addition to being a basic food, is one
of the great export crops of American agri-
culture and its production for domestic con-
sumption and for export is necessary to the
maintenance of a sound national economy and
to the general welfare. The movement of wheat
from producer to consumer, in the form of the
commodity or any of the products thereof, is
preponderantly in interstate and foreign com-
merce. Unreasonably low prices of wheat to pro-
ducers impair their purchasing power for non-
agriculture products and place them in a posi-
tion of serious disparity with other industrial
groups. The conditions affecting the production
of wheat are such that without Federal assist-
ance, producers cannot effectively prevent disas-
trously low prices for wheat. It is necessary, in
order to assist wheat producers in obtaining fair
prices, to regulate the price of wheat used for
domestic food and for exports in the manner
provided in this part.
