§7213 — Title 7 Agriculture | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary must, as much as possible, spend set amounts each fiscal year to meet contract payment obligations: FY1996 $5,570,000,000; FY1997 $5,385,000,000; FY1998 $5,800,000,000; FY1999 $5,603,000,000; FY2000 $5,130,000,000; FY2001 $4,130,000,000; FY2002 $4,008,000,000. Each year’s total is split among commodities: wheat 26.26%, corn 46.22%, grain sorghum 5.11%, barley 2.16%, oats 0.15%, upland cotton 11.63%, and rice 8.47%. The Secretary must adjust each commodity’s share by adding repayments required under section 114(a)(2) of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1445j(a)(2)), adding refunds of contract payments from the prior fiscal year under section 7216, and subtracting amounts needed to meet payment rules under sections 103B, 105B, or 107B of the Agricultural Act of 1949 for the 1994 and 1995 crops. Rice gets an extra $8,500,000 for each of FY1997 through FY2002. Amounts added from the two additions above that are paid to owners and producers do not count as contract payments for purposes of section 7215 or section 1308(1), but no person may receive more than $50,000 of those payments. The year’s available total is reduced by the contract payments owners and producers give up because of the payment limit under section 1308(1).
