Sec. 1379a. Legislative findings

    Wheat, in addition to being a basic food, is one of the great export 
crops of American agriculture and its production for domestic 
consumption and for export is necessary to the maintenance of a sound 
national economy and to the general welfare. The movement of wheat from 
producer to consumer, in the form of the commodity or any of the 
products thereof, is preponderantly in interstate and foreign commerce. 
Unreasonably low prices of wheat to producers impair their purchasing 
power for nonagriculture products and place them in a position of 
serious disparity with other industrial groups. The conditions affecting 
the production of wheat are such that without Federal assistance, 
producers cannot effectively prevent disastrously low prices for wheat. 
It is necessary, in order to assist wheat producers in obtaining fair 
prices, to regulate the price of wheat used for domestic food and for 
exports in the manner provided in this part.
