and to revitalize and stabilize the overall economy at reasonable

with other economic groups by providing them with the means to
develop and strengthen their bargaining power in the Nation's
economy;

varied and changing conditions peculiar to each commodity;

efficient unit of production and as an economic base for towns
and cities in rural areas and encourage, promote, and strengthen
this form of farm enterprise;

revising, expanding, and clarifying the laws relating to
agricultural credit;
"(g) assure consumers of a continuous, adequate, and stable
supply of food and fiber at fair and reasonable prices;
