For the purpose of price loss coverage and agriculture risk coverage when county coverage has been selected, subject to subsection (c), the payment acres for each covered commodity on a farm shall be equal to 85 percent of the updated base acres for the covered commodity on the farm. In the case of agriculture risk coverage when individual coverage has been selected, subject to subsection (c), the payment acres for a farm shall be equal to 65 percent of the updated base acres for all of the covered commodities on the farm.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a producer on a farm may not receive price loss coverage payments or agriculture risk coverage payments if the sum of the updated base acres on the farm is 10 acres or less, as determined by the Secretary. 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 updated base acres on a farm. In the case of price loss coverage payments and agricultural risk coverage payments using county coverage, the reduction under paragraph
(1)shall be the amount equal to the updated base acres planted to crops referred to in that paragraph in excess of 15 percent of updated base acres. In the case of agricultural risk coverage payments using individual coverage, the reduction under paragraph
(1)shall be the amount equal to the updated base acres planted to crops referred to in that paragraph in excess of 35 percent of updated 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 those crops were so double-cropped on the updated base acres, as determined by the Secretary.
