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...
