PUBLIC LAW 100-387—AUG. 11, 1988

(A) for peanuts, the price support level for quota peanuts or the price support level for additional peanuts, as appropriate; (B) for tobacco, the national average loan rate for the type of tobacco involved, or (if there is none) the market price, as determined under section 204(a)(2); and (C) for sugar beets and sugarcane, a level determined by the Secretary to be fair and reasonable in relation to the level of price support established for the 1988 crops of sugar beets and sugarcane, and that, insofar as is practicable, shall reflect no less return to the producer than under the 1988 price support levels. (b) PREVENTED PLANTING CREDIT.—The Secretary shall provide prevented planting credit under subsection (a) with respect to acreage that producers on a farm were prevented from planting to the 1988 crop of the commodity for harvest because of drought, hail, excessive moisture, or related condition in 1988, as determined by the Secretary. Such acreage may not exceed the greater of— (1) a quantity equal to the acreage on the farm planted (or prevented from being planted due to a natural disaster or other condition beyond the control of the producers) to the commodity for harvest in 1987 minus acreage actually planted for harvest in 1988; or (2) a quantity equal to the average of the acreage on the farm planted (or prevented from being planted due to a natural disaster or other condition beyond the control of the producers) to the commodity for harvest in 1985, 1986, and 1987, minus acreage actually planted to the commcxiity for harvest in 1988. The Secretary shall make appropriate adjustments in applying the limitations contained in the preceding sentence to take into account crop rotation practices of the producers and increased quotas for the 1988 crops of tobacco. (c) LIMITATION.—Payments provided under subsection (a) for a crop of a Commodity may not be made available to the producers on a farm unless such producers enter into an agreement to obtain multiperil crop insurance, to the extent required under section 207. (d) SPECIAL RULES FOR PEANUTS.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law— (1) a deficiency in production of quota peanuts from a farm, as otherwise determined under this section, shall be reduced by the quantity of peanut poundage quota that was the basis of such anticipated production that has been transferred from the farm; (2) payments made under this section shall be taken into account whether the deficiency for which the deficiency in production is claimed was a deficiency in production of quota or additional peanuts and the payment rate shall be established accordingly; and (3) the amount of undermarketings of quota peanuts from a farm for the 1988 crop that may otherwise be claimed under section 358 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1358) for purposes of future quota increases shall be reduced by the quantity of the deficiency of production of such peanuts for which payment has been received under this section. (e) SPECIAL RULES FOR TOBACCO.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law— (1) the amount of undermarketings of quota tobacco from a farm for the 1988 crop that may otherwise be claimed under
