report with respect to the production or marketing
of tobacco.

finds that no person connected with a farm caused, aided,
or acquiesced in any irregularity described in paragraph
(1), the next established farm marketing quota shall not
be reduced under this subsection.
‘‘(3) The reduction required under this subsection
shall be in addition to any other adjustments made pursu-
ant to this section.

farms owned by the owner displaced by acquisition of the

keting quota for the farm acquired by the agency.
