A farm gets the gap between the two figures, plus unassigned crop base
The document says “shall”Who acts: Secretary of AgricultureHow: statuteSec. 10302 in the PDF
What the document says
“be equal to the difference obtained by subtracting the amount determined under subparagraph (C) of paragraph (3) from the amount determined under subparagraph (B) of that paragraph; and”
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.
What the document actually says
“be equal to the difference obtained by subtracting the amount determined under subparagraph (C) of paragraph (3) from the amount determined under subparagraph (B) of that paragraph; and”
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.
