Sec. 723.303  Production of registered or certified flue-cured tobacco seed.

    Producers of registered or certified flue-cured tobacco seed may 
devote flue-cured tobacco acreage in excess of the effective allotment 
to seed production without such acreage of tobacco causing a ``No Price 
Support'' entry on the marketing card issued for the farm if an 
agreement is signed by the farm operator, and the producer, if different 
from the operator, which provides:
    (a) Destruction prior to harvest. For the destruction prior to 
harvest of all tobacco produced on the acreage designated for seed 
production.
    (b) Producer payment of compliance costs. That the producers shall 
pay the cost of compliance visits to a farm by representatives of the 
county FSA committee for the purposes of:
    (1) Designating and determining the acreage of seed production, and
    (2) Determining that no tobacco has been harvested from the acreage 
designated for seed production and to witness destruction of tobacco 
leaves.
    (c) Agreement. That the producer(s) signing the agreement shall 
agree to timely notify the county FSA office when the tobacco seed has 
been harvested.
    (d) No history credit. That the planting of the tobacco acreage for 
seed production will not create history acreage for the purpose of 
establishing future farm allotments.
    (e) Cancellation of marketing cards. That if the county FSA 
committee determines that any of the terms and conditions of the 
agreement have been violated or any material misrepresentation has been 
made, any marketing card issued for the farm in recognition of the 
agreement shall be recalled and canceled, and a marketing card shall be 
issued to reflect that tobacco produced on the farm is not eligible for 
price support.
