SEC. 2. The Secretary may, after certification by the Governor of the State in which such area is situated of the need therefor, designate any area as an emergency area for the purposes of this Act if he determines that, as a result of flood, drought, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, or other catastrophe including disease or insect infestation, there is a shortage of feed for livestock in such area. SEC. 3. The Secretary shall not sell feed grains under this Act to any person unless he is satisfied that such person does not have, and is unable to obtain through normal channels of trade without undue financial hardship, sufficient feed for livestock owned by him, and unless such person agrees to use the feed grains only for feed for such livestock. SEC. 4. Any person who fails to carry out an agreement entered into under section 3 with respect to any feed grains purchased under this Act, or who disposes of any such feed grains other than by feeding to livestock owned by him, shall be subject to a penalty equal to but not in excess of the market value of the feed grains involved, to be recovered by the Secretary in a civil suit brought for that purpose, and in addition shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year.
