Sec. 1305. Transfer of acreage allotments or feed grain bases on 
        public lands upon request of State agencies
        
    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary, upon the 
request of any agency of any State charged with the administration of 
the public lands of the State, may permit the transfer of acreage 
allotments or feed grain bases together with relevant production 
histories which have been determined pursuant to this chapter, or 
section 590p of title 16, from any farm composed of public lands to any 
other farm or farms in the same county composed of public lands: 
Provided, That as a condition for the transfer of any allotment or base 
an acreage equal to or greater than the allotment or base transferred 
prior to adjustment, if any, shall be devoted to and maintained in 
permanent vegetative cover on the farm from which the transfer is made. 
The Secretary shall prescribe regulations which he deems necessary for 
the administration of this section, which may provide for adjusting 
downward the size of the allotment or base transferred if the farm to 
which the allotment or base is transferred normally has a higher yield 
per acre for the commodity for which the allotment or base is 
determined, for reasonable limitations on the size of the resulting 
allotments and bases on farms to which transfers are made, taking into 
account the size of the allotments and bases on farms of similar size in 
the community, and for retransferring allotments or bases and relevant 
histories if the conditions of the transfers are not fulfilled.
