To amend section 335 (c) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That section 335 (c) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended to read as follows:
“(c) The farm marketing quota for any farm for any marketing year shall be a number of bushels of wheat equal to the sum of—
“(1) A number of bushels equal to the normal production or the actual production, whichever is the greater, of the farm acreage allotment; and
“(2) A number of bushels equal to the amount, or part thereof, of wheat from any previous crop which the farmer has on hand which, had such amount, or part thereof, been marketed during the preceding marketing year in addition to the wheat actually marketed during such preceding marketing year, could have been marketed without penalty.
“(3) Any farmer who does not market wheat in excess of the normal production or the actual production, whichever is the greater, of the farm acreage allotment shall not be subject to penalty under the provisions of section 339. Any farmer who stores, in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary, an amount of wheat which is less than the amount subject to penalty, shall be presumed to have marketed the amount of such wheat subject to penalty which is not so stored.”
Approved, July 26, 1939.
