 PUBLIC LAW 96-213—MAR. 18, 1980 "(1) Whenever the Secretary, for one or more of the 1980 and 1981 crops of wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, and rice, requires that producers not exceed the acreage on the farm normally planted to crops designated by the Secretary in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary may increase the established price for any such commodity by the amount the Secretary determines appropriate to compensate producers for not exceeding the acreage on the farm normally planted to crops designated by the Secretary and participation in any required set-aside with respect to such commodity. "(2) In determining the amount of any increase in the established price for any commodity under this subsection, the Secretary shall take into account changes in the cost of production resulting from not exceeding the acreage on the farm normally planted to crops designated by the Secretary and participation in any required set-aside with respect to such commodity. (3) If the established price is increased for any commodity under this subsection, the Secretary may increase the established price for any other commodity in such amount as the Secretary determines necessary for effective operation of the program. "(4) The Secretary shall adjust any increase in the established price under this subsection to reflect, in whole or in part, any land diversion payments for the commodity for which an increase is determined. "(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, producers of the 1980 crop of any commodity who exceed the acreage on the farm normally planted to crops designated by the Secretary may receive loans and purchases and, in the case of commodities for which there is an established price, payments based on the established price for the commodity as determined under the applicable provisions of the Agricultural Act of 1949 in effect on the date preceding the date of enactment of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1980.". Approved March 18, 1980.
