Sec. 723.201  Determination of preliminary farm acreage allotments and preliminary farm marketing quotas.


    (a) Flue-cured tobacco. A preliminary farm acreage allotment shall 
be determined for the current year for each farm which has flue-cured 
tobacco history acreage for the base period. The preliminary farm 
acreage allotment shall be the same as the farm acreage allotment 
established for the preceding year.
    (b) Burley tobacco. The preceding year's farm marketing quota shall 
be the current year's preliminary farm marketing quota for each old farm 
except that the preliminary farm marketing quota shall be zero if:
    (1) The farm or all of cropland has gone out of agricultural 
production and eminent domain procedure of part 718 of this chapter does 
not apply.
    (2) Quota that was pooled under the provisions of part 718 of this 
chapter has been canceled.
    (3) A new farm quota that was established in a prior year is 
canceled.
    (4) There was no acreage of burley tobacco planted or considered 
planted for any year of the base period.
    (5) All the cropland on the farm has been determined by the county 
FSA committee to be no longer suitable for the production of a crop and 
provisions of part 704 of this chapter do not apply.
    (6) Beginning with the 1994 crop year there was no acreage of burley 
tobacco planted or considered planted in 2 out of the 3 immediate 
preceding years.

    (c) Kinds of tobacco other than flue-cured and burley. A preliminary 
farm acreage allotment shall be determined for each farm which has 
tobacco history acreage, as established under paragraph Sec. 723.218 of 
this part in the base period. If the history acreage for the previous 
year is the same as the basic allotment, the preliminary allotment shall 
be the same as the previous year's basic allotment. Otherwise, the 
preliminary allotment shall be the simple average of the sum of the 
basic allotment and history acreage for the preceding year.
