Section 2-6A-1 Declaration of policy. It is the finding of the Legislature that, despite the fact that agriculture has been and continues to be the backbone of the economy of the State of Alabama, increasing numbers of the state's farmers and agricultural businessmen are losing their livelihood due to conditions beyond their control caused by the current economic situation in agriculture and certain structural changes that are occurring in the economy of both the state and the United States. A crisis has developed in the state's agricultural sector that is not and cannot be met with existing programs and resources, with the result that more and more Alabama farmers and agricultural businessmen are being forced to leave farming or to seek supplemental employment, but without the provision of any coordinated program of assistance to help them retrain and make the adjustment to other forms of economic livelihood or to acquire the needed supplemental skills. The Legislature thus deems it...
