Summary

A farm's cotton marketing quota is its actual cotton produced on planted acres minus the farm marketing excess. The farm marketing excess is the normal yield from acres above the farm's acreage allotment, but it cannot be larger than how much actual production exceeds the allotment's normal yield when the farmer proves the output to the Secretary.
