                such revisions must be consistent with the purposes of 
                the program and approved by the Secretary.
            ``(2) Certification.--The Secretary shall certify producer 
        compliance with the terms and conditions of the plan.
            ``(3) Termination.--The Secretary may terminate an

                conditions of such agreement.
    ``(h) Program Rules.--
            ``(1) Base and yield protection.--Notwithstanding any other 
        provision of law, the Secretary shall not reduce crop acreage 
        bases or farm program payment yields as a result of the 
        planting of a resource-conserving crop.
            ``(2) Payment acres.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
        of law, the Secretary shall not reduce any farm program loans, 
        payments, or benefits of a program participant as a result of 
        the planting of a resource-conserving crop.
            ``(3) Payment rate.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
        law, the Secretary shall provide deficiency payments on 
        resource-conserving crop acreage eligible for payments at a 
        rate not less than the projected deficiency payment rate, as 
        determined and announced each year by the Secretary prior to 
        the period during which producers may agree to participate in 
        the program.
            ``(4) Payment acre protection.--Notwithstanding any other 
        provision of law, the Secretary shall not reduce the payment 
        acres or the established price for a program participant who 
        has entered into an agreement with the Secretary for a fixed 
        period of time.
            ``(5) Resource-conserving crops on normal flex acreage.--
        Acreage devoted to resource-conserving crops under this program 
        may, at the discretion of the producer, be designated as normal 
        flex acreage.
            ``(6) Adjustments in production adjustment requirements.--
        Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary shall 
        make fair and equitable adjustments in acreage limitation 
        requirements applicable to a producer participating in the 
        program giving due consideration to crop rotation, special 
        conservation practices, rotational grazing, biomass production, 
        and other appropriate factors resulting from the implementation 
        of a plan. If the Secretary determines that the reduction in 
        program crop production on a participating farm referred to in 
        the preceding sentence will equal or exceed any reduction in 
        crop production which, in the absence of participation in the 
        program, would occur as a result of acreage limitation 
        requirements, the Secretary shall waive such acreage limitation 
        requirements for the farm. If the resource conserving crop 
        includes a farm program feed grain crop planted on the base 
        acres of another farm program feed grain crop, the Secretary 
        shall take into account the established or county average yield 
        of the two feed grains for the purposes of making the 
        adjustment or waiver.
            ``(7) Total base acreage flexibility.--Notwithstanding any 
        other provision of law, the Secretary shall allow participants 
        in this program to plant farm program crops and oilseeds in any 
        proportion on a producer's total acreage of farm program crop 
        base and historic oilseeds acreage without affecting farm 
        program payments.
            ``(8) Crop insurance.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
        of law, acreage devoted to resource-conserving crops under this 
        program shall be eligible for crop insurance pursuant to the 
        Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
            ``(9) Haying and grazing restriction.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall not make any 
                farm program payments to a producer, who is otherwise 
                eligible to receive such payments, for acreage enrolled 
                in the program if the producer, during the consecutive 
                five month period in each State in which haying and 
                grazing of conserving use acres may be prohibited under 
                the provisions of this Act, grazes breeding cattle or 
                nursing calves or harvests and sells hay on payment 
                acres.
                    ``(B) Transition option.--The restriction in 
                subparagraph (A) shall not apply in the case of a 
                producer who agrees to retire all base acreage enrolled 
                in the program at the end of the agreement period.
                    ``(C) Emergency haying and grazing.--The Secretary 
                shall release acreage devoted to resource-conserving 
                crops for emergency haying and grazing as the result of 
                a natural disaster when the Secretary permits unlimited 
                haying and grazing on--
                            ``(i) reduced acreage under this Act;
                            ``(ii) acreage devoted to a conservation 
                        use under this Act;
                            ``(iii) acreage diverted from production 
                        under a land diversion program established 
                        under this Act; or
                            ``(iv) acreage enrolled in the conservation 
                        reserve program under the Food Security Act of 
                        1985 (16 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.).''.
    (b) Conforming Repeal.--Section 1451 of the Food, Agriculture, 
Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 5822) is repealed.
[EX A]: Amends the Agricultural Act of 1949 to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a voluntary conservation flex program which will permit producers to adopt integrated site-specific farm management plans.  Includes within such plans resource-conserving crops, crop rotation, and rotational grazing.
