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

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

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

''(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

. Upper Missisquoi and Trout Wild and Scenic Rivers Act - Amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate two segments of the Missisquoi River and one segment of the Trout River in Vermont as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System to be administered by the Secretary of the Interior as a recreational river. Requires the river segments designated by this Act to be managed in accordance with the Upper Missisquoi and Trout Rivers Management Plan. Requires the Secretary to coordinate the management responsibilities with the Upper Missisquoi and Trout Rivers Wild and Scenic Committee. Authorizes the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements for the protection, preservation, and enhancement of the river segments with: (1) the state of Vermont; (2) specific municipalities; and (3) local, regional, statewide, or multistate planning, environmental, or recreational organizations. States that the designation of the river segments does not: (1) preclude the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) from licensing, relicensing, or otherwise authorizing the operation of specified hydroelectric projects; or (2) limit the modernization, upgrades, or other changes to the projects. Prohibits resource protection, mitigation, or enhancement measures required by FERC hydropower proceedings from being considered project works under this Act. Permits such measures within the segments. Considers zoning ordinances adopted by specific towns as satisfying provisions in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act that prohibit the Secretary from acquiring lands by condemnation within a designated Wild and Scenic River boundary when certain local zoning ordinances are in place. Limits the authority of the Secretary to acquire lands under this Act to acquisition by donation or with the owner's consent. Bars the Missisquoi and Trout Rivers from being administered as part of the National Park System. Directs the Secretary, upon determining that there is adequate local support for the designation of an additional segment in Vermont, to publish a notice of the designation in the Federal Register, designate the additional segment, and administer the additional segment as a recreational river.
