          Partnership’s Return; FPAA; Petition; Participating Partners                
               The partnership timely made a return of income for its 1986            
          taxable (calendar) year (the 1986 partnership return).  By notice           
          of final partnership administrative adjustment, dated March 14,             
          1990 (the FPAA), respondent made adjustments to the 1986                    
          partnership  return.  The petition was filed on June 13, 1990, by           
          George P. and Ann T. Ballas, two partners other than the tax                
          matters partner (the petitioning partners).  The petitioning                
          partners are no longer parties to this case, having entered into            
          settlement agreements with respondent on April 28, 1997, with               
          respect to the partnership items in question.  Following the                
          elimination of the petitioning partners from the case, the case             
          was carried on by respondent and certain other partners who had             
          elected to participate in the case.  On June 28, 1999, petitioner           
          intervened.  Petitioner is a general partner of the partnership,            
          and he has been the tax matters partner (TMP) since at least                
          June 13, 1990.  Petitioner is, now, the only participating                  
          partner.                                                                    
          FPAA Adjustments and Issues Raised in the Petition                          
               By the FPAA, respondent notified the TMP that he was                   
          disallowing Schedule F, Profit or Loss From Farming, deductions             
          of the partnership (the Schedule F deductions) in the amount of             
          $10,104,861.  Respondent explained his disallowance of the
