SUBPART II—ACREAGE ALLOTMENTS—CORN Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1954—Act Aug. 28, 1954, ch. 1041, title III, § 303, 68 Stat. 902, substituted ‘‘Acreage Allotments—Corn’’ for ‘‘Mar- keting Quotas—Corn’’ in subpart II heading. § 1321. Legislative finding of effect on interstate and foreign commerce and necessity of regu- lation Corn is a basic source of food for the Nation, and corn produced in the commercial corn-pro- ducing area moves almost wholly in interstate and foreign commerce in the form of corn, live- stock, and livestock products. Abnormally excessive and abnormally defi- cient supplies of corn acutely and directly af- fect, burden, and obstruct interstate and foreign commerce in corn, livestock, and livestock prod- ucts. When abnormally excessive supplies exist, transportation facilities in interstate and for- eign commerce are overtaxed, and the handling and processing facilities through which the flow of interstate and foreign commerce in corn, live- stock, and livestock products is directed become acutely congested. Abnormally deficient sup- plies result in substantial decreases in livestock production and in an inadequate flow of live- stock and livestock products in interstate and foreign commerce, with the consequence of un- reasonably high prices to consumers. Violent fluctuations from year to year in the available supply of corn disrupt the balance be- tween the supply of livestock and livestock products moving in interstate and foreign com- merce and the supply of corn available for feed- ing. When available supplies of corn are exces- sive, corn prices are low and farmers overexpand livestock production in order to find outlets for corn. Such expansion, together with the relative scarcity and high price of corn, forces farmers to market abnormally excessive supplies of live- stock in interstate commerce at sacrifice prices, endangering the financial stability of producers, and overtaxing handling and processing facili- ties through which the flow of interstate and foreign commerce in livestock and livestock products is directed. Such excessive marketings deplete livestock on farms, and livestock mar- keted in interstate and foreign commerce con- sequently becomes abnormally low, with result- ant high prices to consumers and danger to the financial stability of persons engaged in trans- porting, handling, and processing livestock in interstate and foreign commerce. These high prices in turn result in another overexpansion of livestock production.
