"(c) Advance deficiency payments under this section shall be made to producers under the following terms and conditions: "(1) In any case in which the deficiency payment payable to a producer for a crop, as finally determined by the Secretary under section 107B(b)(l), 105B(b)(l), 103(g)(3), or 101(i)(2), is less than the amount paid to the producer as an advance deficiency payment for the crop under this section, the producer shall refund an amount equal to the difference between the amount advanced and the amount finally determined by the Secretary to be payable to the producer as a deficiency payment for the crop concerned. (2) If the Secretary determines under section 107B(b)(l), 105B(b)(l), 103(g)(3), or 101(i)(2) that deficiency payments will not be made available to producers on a crop with respect to which advance deficiency payments already have been made
