minimum acreage allotments for rice

minimum acreage allotments for rice Sec. 304. Section 353 (c) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following: “(5) Each of the State acreage allotments for 1956 heretofore proclaimed by the Secretary, after adding thereto any acreage apportioned to farms in the State from the reserve acreage set aside pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, shall be increased by such amount as may be necessary to provide such State with an allotment of not less than 85 per centum of its final allotment established for 1955. Any additional acreage required to provide such minimum allotment shall be additional to the national acreage allotment. In any State having county acreage allotments for 1956, the increase in the State allotment shall be apportioned among counties in the State on the same basis as the State allotment was heretofore apportioned among the counties, but without regard to adjustments for trends in acreage. “(6) The national acreage allotments of rice for 1957 and 1958 shall be not less than the national acreage allotment for 1956, including any acreage allotted under paragraph (5) of this subsection, and such national allotments for 1957 and 1958 shall be apportioned among the States in the same proportion that they shared in the total acreage allotted in 1956.”
