SUBCHAPTER III--NONBASIC AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES
Sec. 1446b. Policy with regard to dairy products
The production and use of abundant supplies of high quality milk and
dairy products are essential to the health and general welfare of the
Nation: a dependable domestic source of supply of these foods in the
form of high grade dairy herds and modern, sanitary dairy equipment is
important to the national defense; and an economically sound dairy
industry affects beneficially the economy of the country as a whole. It
is the policy of Congress to assure a stabilized annual production of
adequate supplies of milk and dairy products; to promote the increased
use of these essential foods; to improve the domestic source of supply
of milk and butterfat by encouraging dairy farmers to develop efficient
production units consisting of high-grade, disease-free cattle and
modern sanitary equipment; and to stabilize the economy of dairy farmers
at a level which will provide a fair return for their labor and
investment when compared with the cost of things that farmers buy.
