§ 8718. Special rule for long grain and medium

(a) Calculation method
Subject to subsections (b) and (c), for the pur-
poses of determining the amount of the counter-
cyclical payments to be paid to the producers on
a farm for long grain rice and medium grain rice
under section 8714 1 of this title, the base acres of

Secretary.
(b) Producer election
As an alternative to the calculation method
described in subsection (a), the Secretary shall
provide producers on a farm the opportunity to
elect to apportion rice base acres on the farm
using the 4-year average of—
(1) the percentages of acreage planted on the
farm to long grain rice and medium grain rice
during the 2003 through 2006 crop years;
(2) the percentages of any acreage on the
farm that the producers were prevented from
planting to long grain rice and medium grain
rice during the 2003 through 2006 crop years be-
cause of drought, flood, other natural disaster,
or other condition beyond the control of the
producers, as determined by the Secretary;
and
(3) in the case of a crop year for which a pro-
ducer on a farm elected not to plant to long
grain and medium grain rice during the 2003
through 2006 crop years, the percentages of
acreage planted in the applicable State to long
grain rice and medium grain rice, as deter-
mined by the Secretary.
(c) Limitation
In carrying out this section, the Secretary
shall use the same total base acres, payment
acres, and payment yields established with re-
spect to rice under sections 7911 and 7912 of this
title, as in effect on September 30, 2007, subject
to any adjustment under section 8711 of this
title.
