**(a) Source** The Secretary shall provide the price support authorized or required herein through the Commodity Credit Corporation and other means available to him.
**(b) Authority of Secretary; factors considered** Except as otherwise provided in this Act, the amounts, terms, and conditions of price support operations and the extent to which such operations are carried out, shall be determined or approved by the Secretary. The following factors shall be taken into consideration in determining, in the case of any commodity for which price support is discretionary, whether a price-support operation shall be undertaken and the level of such support and, in the case of any commodity for which price support is mandatory, the level of support in excess of the minimum level prescribed for such commodity: (1) the supply of the commodity in relation to the demand therefor, (2) the price levels at which other commodities are being supported and, in the case of feed grains, the feed values of such grains in relation to corn, (3) the availability of funds, (4) the perishability of the commodity, (5) the importance of the commodity to agriculture and the national economy, (6) the ability to dispose of stocks acquired through a price-support operation, (7) the need for offsetting temporary losses of export markets, (8) the ability and willingness of producers to keep supplies in line with demand and (9), in the case of upland cotton, changes in the cost of producing such cotton.
**(c) Compliance by producer; program for diverted acres** Compliance by the producer with acreage allotments, production goals and marketing practices (including marketing quotas when authorized by law), prescribed by the Secretary, may be required as a condition of eligibility for price support.

For the 1961 crop the minimum level shall be 70 per centum of the parity price therefor, and for each subsequent crop the minimum level shall be 65 per centum of the parity price therefor: Provided, That the price support for the 1965 crop shall be a national average support price which reflects 30 cents per pound for Middling one-inch cotton. Price support in the case of noncooperators and in case marketing quotas are disapproved shall be as provided in section 1441(d)(3) and (5) 11 See References in Text note below. of this title.
**(b) Additional support levels for 1964 and 1965** If producers have not disapproved marketing quotas, the Secretary shall provide additional price support on the 1964 and 1965 crops of upland cotton to cooperators on whose farms the acreage planted to upland cotton for harvest does not exceed the farm domestic allotment established under [section 1350 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title7-section1350&num=0&edition=prelim).

§ 1309
take such action with respect to the commodity
program involved.
(b) Reservation of Secretary’s right to reopen or
change contracts if producer agrees
In the announcement of the specific provisions
of any commodity program administered by the
Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary shall in-
clude a statement setting forth which, if any, of
the actions are to be initially included in the
program, and a statement that the Secretary re-
serves the right to initiate at a later date any
action not previously included but authorized by
this section, including the right to reopen and
change a contract entered into by a producer
under the program if the producer voluntarily
agrees to the change.
(c) Purchase from other sources of commodities
covered by nonrecourse loans
When a nonrecourse loan program is in effect
for a crop of a commodity, the Secretary may
enter the commercial market to purchase such
commodity if the Secretary determines that the
cost of such purchases plus appropriate carrying
charges will probably be less than the com-
parable cost of later acquiring the commodity
through defaults on nonrecourse loans under the
program.
(d) Reduction in settlement price of nonrecourse
loans
When the domestic market price of a com-
modity for which a nonrecourse loan program
(including the program authorized by section
1445e of this title) is in effect is insufficient to
cover the principal and accumulated interest on
a loan made under such program, thereby en-
couraging default by a producer, the Secretary
may provide for settlement of such loan and re-
demption by the producer of the commodity se-
curing such loan for less than the total of the
principal and all interest accumulated thereon if
