(1) striking out paragraphs (1), (2), and (3), and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

"(1) For each of the 1987 through 1990 crops, the total amount of deficiency payments (excluding any deficiency payments described in paragraph (2)(B)(I)(iv) of this section) and land diversion payments that a person shall be entitled to receive under one or more of the annual programs established under the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1421 et seq.) for wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, extra long staple cotton, and rice may not exceed $50,000.

"(B) As used in subparagraph (A), the term 'payments' means—

"(i) any part of any payment that is determined by the Secretary of Agriculture to represent compensation for resource adjustment (excluding land diversion payments) or public access for recreation;

“(ii) any disaster payments under one or more of the annual programs for a commodity established under the Agricultural Act of 1949;

“(iii)(I) any gain realized by a producer from repaying a loan for a crop of wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, rice, or honey at the rate permitted under section 107D(a)(5), 105C(a)(4), 103A(a)(5), 101A(a)(5), or 201(b)(2), respectively, of the Agricultural Act of 1949, or (II) any gain realized by a producer from repaying a loan for a crop of any other commodity at a lower level than the original loan level established under the Agricultural Act of 1949;

"(iv) any deficiency payment received for a crop of wheat or feed grains under section 107D(c)(1) or 105C(c)(1), respectively, of the Agricultural Act of 1949 as the result of a reduction of

the loan level for such crop under section 107D(a)(4) or 105C(a)(3) of such Act;

"(v) any loan deficiency payment received for a crop of wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, or rice under section 107D(b), 105C(b), 103A(b), or 101A(b), respectively, of the Agricultural Act of 1949; and

"(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, if the Secretary of Agriculture determines that any of the limitations provided for in paragraph (2) will result in a substantial increase in the number or dollar amount of loan forfeitures for a crop of a commodity, will substantially reduce the acreage taken out of production under an acreage reduction program for a crop of a commodity, or will cause the market prices for a crop of a commodity to fall substantially below the effective loan rate for the crop, the Secretary shall adjust upward such limitation, under such terms and conditions as the Secretary determines appropriate, as necessary to eliminate such adverse effect on the program involved.";

(2) adding at the end of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (5) the following: "Such regulations shall provide that the term 'person' does not include any cooperative association of producers that markets commodities for producers with respect to the commodities so marketed for producers."; and
