Zero, 50/85-92 provisions: Refers to the 50/85 and
50/92 commodity program provisions for rice and
cotton and the 0/85 and 0/92 commodity program provisions for wheat and feed
grains that were in effect in various forms from 1986 through 1995. Under these
provisions farmers could idle all or part of their permitted acreage,
putting the land in a conserving use, and receive deficiency payments
as if up to 92% of the permitted acreage had been
planted. A minimum planting requirement of 50% of maximum payment acreage
applied for rice and cotton. Under the FAIR Act of 1996,
producers have no planting requirements but must observe appropriate
conservation practices if the land remains idle.
