or producer on each farm in which the owner or

payments received by the owner or producer
during the period of the violation, together with
interest on the contract payments as deter-
mined by the Secretary.

or producer during the period of the violation,

provide fair and equitable treatment.

sibilities of the owner or producer under the
contract if the owner or producer continues or

acreage. On the resumption of operation or
