# §1326. Adjustment of farm marketing quotas

- (a) Whenever in any county or other area the [Secretary](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-7) finds that the actual production of [corn](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-9) plus the amount of [corn](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-9) stored under seal in such county or other area is less than the normal production of the [marketing](/usc/7/1301.md?p=b-6-B) percentage of the farm acreage allotments in such county or other area, the [Secretary](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-7) shall terminate farm [marketing](/usc/7/1301.md?p=b-6-B) quotas for [corn](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-9) in such county or other area.
- (b) Whenever, upon any farm, the actual production of the acreage of [corn](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-9) is less than the normal production of the [marketing](/usc/7/1301.md?p=b-6-B) percentage of the farm acreage allotment, there may be marketed, without penalty, from such farm an amount of [corn](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-9) from the [corn](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-9) stored under seal pursuant to [section 1324 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(/us/usc/t7/s1324)) which, together with the actual production of the then current crop, will equal the normal production of the [marketing](/usc/7/1301.md?p=b-6-B) percentage of the farm acreage allotment.
- (c) Whenever, in any [marketing year](/usc/7/1301.md?p=b-7), [marketing](/usc/7/1301.md?p=b-6-B) quotas are not in effect with respect to the crop of [corn](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-9) produced in the calendar year in which such [marketing year](/usc/7/1301.md?p=b-7) begins, all [marketing](/usc/7/1301.md?p=b-6-B) quotas applicable to previous crops of [corn](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-9) shall be terminated.
