farm domestic allotment, but such reduction shall not exceed 20 per centum of the farm domestic allotment for the preceding crop. If no acreage has been planted to wheat for three consecutive crop years on any farm which has a domestic allotment, such farm shall lose its domestic allotment. Producers on any farm who have planted to wheat not less than 90 per centum of the domestic allotment for the farm shall be considered to have planted an acreage equal to 100 per centum of such allotment. An acreage on the farm which the Secretary determines was not planted to wheat because of drought, flood, or other natural disaster or a condition beyond the control of the producer shall be considered to be an acreage of wheat planted for harvest. For the purpose of this subsection, the Secretary may permit producers of wheat to have acreage devoted to soybeans or to feed grains for which there is a set-aside program in effect considered as devoted to the production of wheat to such extent and subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary determines will not impair the effective operation of the program. "(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b)(1), no farm domestic allotment shall be reduced or lost through failure to plant the farm domestic allotment, if the producer elects not to receive certificates for the portion of the farm domestic allotment not planted, to which he would otherwise be entitled under the provisions of this Act."
