Subject to subsection (d), for the purpose of price loss coverage and agriculture risk coverage, the payment acres for each covered commodity on a farm shall be equal to 85 percent of the base acres for the covered commodity on the farm. Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, a producer on a farm may not receive price loss coverage payments or agriculture risk coverage payments if the sum of the base acres on the farm is 10 acres or less, as determined by the Secretary, unless the sum of the base acres on the farm, when combined with the base acres of other farms in which the producer has an interest, is more than 10 acres. Paragraph
(1)does not apply to a producer that is— a socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher (as defined in section 355(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act ( 7 U.S.C. 2003(e) )); or a limited resource farmer or rancher, as defined by the Secretary. In the manner provided in this subsection, payment acres on a farm shall be reduced in any crop year in which fruits, vegetables (other than mung beans and pulse crops), or wild rice have been planted on base acres on a farm. In the case of price loss coverage payments and agricultural risk coverage payments, the reduction under paragraph
(1)shall be the amount equal to the base acres planted to crops referred to in such paragraph in excess of 15 percent of base acres. No reduction to payment acres shall be made under this subsection if— cover crops or crops referred to in paragraph
(1)are grown solely for conservation purposes and not harvested for use or sale, as determined by the Secretary; or in any region in which there is a history of double-cropping covered commodities with crops referred to in paragraph
(1)and such crops were so double-cropped on the base acres, as determined by the Secretary. For each crop year for which fruits, vegetables (other than mung beans and pulse crops), or wild rice are planted to base acres on a farm for which a reduction in payment acres is made under this subsection, the Secretary shall consider such base acres to be planted, or prevented from planting, to a covered commodity for purposes of any adjustment or reduction of base acres for the farm under section 1112. The Secretary shall maintain information on base acres allocated as unassigned crop base pursuant to— section 1112(c)(3); or section 1112(a) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 ( 7 U.S.C. 9012(a) ).
