Establishment of payment yield and base acres for peanuts for a farm
(A) In generalThe Secretary shall determine, for each historic peanut producer, the 4-year average of the following:
Acreage planted to peanuts on each farm on which the historic peanut producer planted peanuts for harvest for the 1998 through 2001 crop years.
Any acreage on each farm that the historic peanut producer was prevented from planting to peanuts during the 1998 through 2001 crop years because of drought, flood, or other natural disaster, or other condition beyond the control of the historic peanut producer, as determined by the Secretary.
(4) Special considerationsIn making the determinations required by this subsection, the Secretary shall take into account changes in the number, identity, or interest of producers sharing in the risk of producing a peanut crop since the 1998 crop year, including providing a method for the assignment of average acres and average yield to a farm—
when an historic peanut producer is no longer living;
when an entity composed of historic peanut producers has been dissolved; or
in other appropriate situations, as determined by the Secretary.
(2) Limitation on acreage assignmentNotwithstanding paragraph (1), the average acreage determined under subsection (a)(2) for a farm may not be assigned to a farm in a contiguous State unless—
the historic peanut producer making the assignment produced peanuts in that State during at least 1 of the 1998 through 2001 crop years; or
as of March 31, 2003, the historic peanut producer is a producer on a farm in that State.
(3) Notice of assignment opportunityThe Secretary shall provide notice to historic peanut producers regarding their opportunity to assign average peanut yields and average acreages to farms under paragraph (1). The notice shall include the following:
Notice that the opportunity to make the assignments is being provided only once.
A description of the limitation in paragraph (2) on their ability to make the assignments.
Information regarding the manner in which the assignments must be made and the time periods and manner in which notice of the assignments must be submitted to the Secretary.
Subject to subsection (e), the total number of acres assigned by historic peanut producers under subsection (b) to a farm shall be considered to be the farm’s base acres for peanuts for the purpose of making direct payments and counter-cyclical payments under this subchapter.
