When setting up new farm units for the projects covered by this law, the Secretary can create units up to 320 acres, with no more than 160 irrigable acres. People can claim these units under the homestead or desert land laws, and the land pieces don't have to touch each other.
In administering sections 434, 448, and 544 of this title, the Secretary may, to the extent found necessary as shown by a land classification to provide farm units sufficient in size to support a family, establish such units of not more than three hundred and twenty acres containing not more than one hundred and sixty irrigable acres designated by him and may permit entry and assignment under the homestead laws, and retention and assignment under the desert land laws, of such units. The lands included in farm units established pursuant to the authority of this section and entered under the homestead laws may be contiguous or noncontiguous.
