                  In the subject notice of deficiency, respondent                     
             reclassifies the portion of the gain representing the                    
             aggregate amount realized in excess of cost basis,                       
             $1,210,245, as nonpatronage capital gain.  Respondent does               
             not adjust petitioner's treatment of the portion of the                  
             gain representing aggregate section 1245 recapture as                    
             ordinary income from patronage sources.                                  
                  In describing the adjustments involving the gain realized           
             from the sale of petitioner’s soybean facilities and the gain            
             from the sale of the above miscellaneous section 1231 assets,            
             the notice of deficiency states as follows:                              

                  The section 1231 gain realized on the sale of the                   
                  soybean processing facilities must be recognized and                
                  treated as non-patronage capital gain and may not be                
                  offset by patronage losses.  Accordingly, your non-                 
                  patronage capital gains are increased by $1,712,148;                
                  the patronage ordinary income you reported is                       
                  decreased by $(1,632,724); and the non-patronage                    
                  ordinary income you reported is decreased by                        
                  $(79,424), in your fiscal year ending August 31,                    
                  1983.                                                               
                                                                                     
             The increase in “non-patronage capital gains” of $1,712,148              
             determined in the notice consists of $501,903, attributable              
             to the sale of petitioner’s soybean facilities, and                      
             $1,210,245, attributable to the sale of miscellaneous                    
             assets.
