    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Background

    Section 5310 of the 2002 Act changed the definition of qualified beginning farmer or rancher by increasing the acres of land that these applicants could own to a maximum of 30 (instead of 25) percent of the average farm or ranch size in the county.

    Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations amended the definition of “Beginning farmer or rancher” in 7 CFR 762.102, 1941.4 and 1943.4 to comply with the requirements of the 2002 Act. The definition of “Beginning farmer or rancher” is also included in 7 CFR 1955.103; however, the necessary amendment was inadvertently not included in the February 18, 2003, final rule.
