Sec. 729.213  Erroneous notice of effective farm poundage quota.

    If the official notice of effective quota issued for a farm

quota shown on the erroneous notice shall serve as the basis for 
marketing penalty computations for the farm for the current marketing

acting in good faith:
    (1) Has made plans, or is engaged in activities, to produce the 
quota in the amount set forth on the erroneous notice (for example, land 
preparation; purchase of seed, fertilizer, and other production 
materials; or reducing the acreage of other crops); or
    (2) Has planted the acreage of peanuts needed to produce the 
erroneous farm poundage quota.
