It is declared to be the policy of Congress to continue the Soil
Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended [16 U.S.C. 590a
et seq.], for the purpose of conserving national resources,
preventing the wasteful use of soil fertility, and of preserving,
maintaining, and rebuilding the farm and ranch land resources in
the national public interest; to accomplish these purposes through
the encouragement of soil-building and soil-conserving crops and
practices; to assist in the marketing of agricultural commodities
for domestic consumption and for export; and to regulate interstate
and foreign commerce in cotton, wheat, corn, and rice to the extent
necessary to provide an orderly, adequate, and balanced flow of
such commodities in interstate and foreign commerce through storage
of reserve supplies, loans, marketing quotas, assisting farmers to
obtain insofar as practicable, parity prices for such commodities
and parity of income, and assisting consumers to obtain an adequate
and steady supply of such commodities at fair prices.
