LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY 
SEC 2. Agricultural products are produced in the United States bv 
many individual farmers and ranchers scattered throughout the vari-
ous States of the Nation. Such products in fresh or processed form 
move in large part in the channels of interstate and foreign commerce, 
and such products which do not move in these channels directly 
burden or affect interstate commerce. The efficient production and 
marketing of agricultural products by farmers and ranchers is of 
vital concern to their welfare and to the general economy of the 
Nation. Because agricultural products are pjroduced by numerous 
individual farmers, the marketing and bargaining position of indi-
vidual farmers wdll be adversely affected unless they are free to join 
together voluntarily in cooperative organizations as authorized by 
law. Interference with this right is contrary to the public interest 
and adversely affects the free and orderly flow^ of goods in interstate 
and foreign commerce.
