Section 2201. Payments to agricultural producers for carrying out wind erosion control or rehabilitation measures; criteria

      The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to make payments to
    agricultural producers who carry out emergency measures to control
    wind erosion on farmlands or to rehabilitate farmlands damaged by
    wind erosion, floods, hurricanes, or other natural disasters when,
    as a result of the foregoing, new conservation problems have been
    created that (1) if not treated, will impair or endanger the land,
    (2) materially affect the productive capacity of the land, (3)
    represent damage that is unusual in character and, except for wind
    erosion, is not the type that would recur frequently in the same
    area, and (4) will be so costly to rehabilitate that Federal
    assistance is or will be required to return the land to productive
    agricultural use.
