The deduction will be taken each year a payment is received until the loan is paid or the deductions for all years equal $50,000.

(2) To the extent that a net operating loss is created as a result of the deduction, such loss is not available for carryover or carryback provisions.

(3) The taxpayer may claim more than one deduction as a result of sales to beginning farmers provided each sale is approved by the agricultural loan authority.
