# 1470.30 Fair treatment of tenants and sharecroppers.

Participants must divide payments received under this part in the manner specified in the applicable contract. NRCS will ensure that tenants and sharecroppers who have an interest in acreage being enrolled receive equitable treatment, as determined by NRCS. NRCS may refuse to enter into a contract when joint applicants seeking enrollment disagree on an applicant's eligibility to participate in the contract as a tenant.
