The section sets the number of base acres allocated to an eligible farm at the five-year average sum minus the farm's existing base acres for covered commodities, and provides that the allocation includes unassigned crop base. It is made subject to the eligibility rules and to the rule on new owners.

That sentence, in plain words

Take the first figure and subtract the second. What is left is the number of new acres.

What this is about

The gap between the two figures is the award. Unassigned crop base is counted in as well. The result can be trimmed by later rules.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
