During any marketing year for which a marketing quota is in
effect for wheat, beginning with the marketing year for the 1964
crop, a wheat marketing allocation program shall be in effect as
provided in this part. Whenever a wheat marketing allocation
program is in effect for any marketing year the Secretary shall
determine (1) the wheat marketing allocation for such year which
shall be the amount of wheat which in determining the national
marketing quota for such marketing year he estimated would be used
during such year for food products for consumption in the United
States, and that portion of the amount of wheat which in
determining such quota he estimated would be exported in the form
of wheat or products thereof during the marketing year on which the
Secretary determines that marketing certificates shall be issued to
producers in order to achieve, insofar as practicable, the price
and income objectives of this part, and (2) the national allocation
percentage which shall be the percentage which the national
marketing allocation is of the national marketing quota. Each farm
shall receive a wheat marketing allocation for such marketing year
equal to the number of bushels obtained by multiplying the number
of acres in the farm acreage allotment for wheat by the projected
farm yield, and multiplying the resulting number of bushels by the
national allocation percentage. If a noncommercial wheat-producing
area is established for any marketing year, farms in such area
shall be given wheat marketing allocations which are determined by
the Secretary to be fair and reasonable in relation to the wheat
marketing allocation given producers in the commercial wheat-
producing area.
