Legislative finding of effect on interstate and foreign commerce and necessity of regu- lation Wheat is a basic source of food for the Nation, is produced throughout the United States by more than a million farmers, is sold on the country-wide market and, as wheat or flour, flows almost entirely through instrumentalities of interstate and foreign commerce from pro- ducers to consumers. Abnormally excessive and abnormally defi- cient supplies of wheat on the country-wide market acutely and directly affect, burden, and obstruct interstate and foreign commerce. Ab- normally excessive supplies overtax the facili- ties of interstate and foreign transportation, congest terminal markets and milling centers in the flow of wheat from producers to consumers, depress the price of wheat in interstate and for- eign commerce, and otherwise disrupt the or- derly marketing of such commodity in such commerce. Abnormally deficient supplies result in an inadequate flow of wheat and its products in interstate and foreign commerce with con- sequent injurious effects to the instrumental- ities of such commerce and with excessive in- creases in the prices of wheat and its products in interstate and foreign commerce. It is in the interest of the general welfare that interstate and foreign commerce in wheat and its products be protected from such burdensome surpluses and distressing shortages, and that a supply of wheat be maintained which is ade- quate to meet domestic consumption and export requirements in years of drought, flood, and other adverse conditions as well as in years of plenty, and that the soil resources of the Nation be not wasted in the production of such burden- some surpluses. Such surpluses result in disas-
