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.

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

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
