Sec. 723.218  Determining tobacco history acreage.

    With respect to each respective kind of tobacco, the tobacco history 
acreage shall be determined for each farm for which a tobacco acreage 
allotment was established for such kind of tobacco for the current year.
    (a) The history acreage shall be the same as the farm acreage 
allotment for the respective kind of tobacco if in the current year, or 
either of the two preceding years, the sum of the planted and considered 
planted acreage of such kind of tobacco was as much as 75 percent of the 
farm acreage allotment. Otherwise, the history acreage shall be the sum 
of the planted and considered planted acreage of such kind of tobacco.
    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, for the 
respective kind of tobacco, the history acres for the current year and 
for each year of the base period shall be reduced to zero if:
    (1) A new farm allotment was canceled;
    (2) The allotment was in a pool established in accordance with the 
eminent domain provision of part 718 of this chapter and the period of 
eligibility has expired for transferring the allotment from the pool; or
    (3) The county FSA committee determines that the farm has been 
retired from agricultural production and the allotment is not eligible 
for pooling in accordance with the eminent domain provisions of part 718 
of this chapter.
