Pub. L. 83-690, tit. III, sec. 302

Sec. 302. Section 301 (b) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended (7 U. S. C. 1301 (b)), is amended: (a) By striking out in paragraph 10 (A) the language “10 per centum in the case of com” and “15 per centum in the case of wheat” and inserting in lieu thereof “15 per centum in the case of corn” and “20 per centum in the case of wheat”, respectively; (b) By amending paragraph (13) (A) to read as follows: “(A) ‘Normal yield’ for any county, in the case of com or wheat, shall be the average yield per acre of corn or wheat for the county during the ten calendar years in the case of wheat, or the five calendar years in the case of corn, immediately preceding the year in which such normal yield is determined, adjusted for abnormal weather conditions and, in the case of wheat, for trends in yields. Such normal yield per acre for any county need be redetermined only when the actual average yield for the ten calendar years in the case of wheat, or the five calendar years in the case of corn, immediately preceding the calendar year in which such yield is being reconsidered differs by at least 5 per centum from the actual average yield for the ten years in the case of wheat, or the 5 years in the case of com, upon which the existing normal yield per acre for the county was based.”; and (c) By amending the first sentence of paragraph (13) (E) to read as follows: “ ‘Normal yield’ for any farm, in the case of corn, wheat, cotton, or peanuts, shall be the average yield per acre of corn, wheat, cotton, or peanuts, as the case may be, for the farm, adjusted for abnormal weather conditions and, in the case of wheat, but not in the case of corn, cotton, or peanuts, for trends in yields, during the ten calendar years in the case of wheat, and five calendar years in the case of com, cotton, or peanuts, immediately preceding the year in which such normal yield is determined.”
