Secretary of Agriculture; use of existing facilities

It is declared to be the policy of the Congress to promote the
efficient production and utilization of products of the soil as
essential to the health and welfare of our people and to promote a
sound and prosperous agriculture and rural life as indispensable to
the maintenance of maximum employment and national prosperity. It
is also the intent of Congress to assure agriculture a position in
research equal to that of industry which will aid in maintaining an
equitable balance between agriculture and other sections of our
economy. For the attainment of these objectives, the Secretary of
Agriculture is authorized and directed to conduct and to stimulate
research into the laws and principles underlying the basic problems
of agriculture in its broadest aspects, including but not limited
to: Research relating to the improvement of the quality of, and the
development of new and improved methods of the production,
marketing, distribution, processing, and utilization of plant and
animal commodities at all stages from the original producer through
to the ultimate consumer; research into the problems of human
nutrition and the nutritive value of agricultural commodities, with
particular reference to their content of vitamins, minerals, amino
and fatty acids, and all other constituents that may be found
necessary for the health of the consumer and to the gains or losses
in nutritive value that may take place at any stage in their
production, distribution, processing, and preparation for use by
the consumer; research relating to the development of present, new,
and extended uses and markets for agricultural commodities and
byproducts as food or in commerce, manufacture, or trade, both at
home and abroad, with particular reference to those foods and
fibers for which our capacity to produce exceeds or may exceed
existing economic demand; research to encourage the discovery,
introduction, and breeding of new and useful agricultural crops,
plants, and animals, both foreign and native, particularly for
those crops and plants which may be adapted to utilization in
chemical and manufacturing industries; research relating to new and
more profitable uses for our resources of agricultural manpower,
soils, plants, animals, and equipment than those to which they are
now, or may hereafter be, devoted; research relating to the
conservation, development, and use of land, forest, and water
resources for agricultural purposes; research relating to the
design, development, and the more efficient and satisfactory use of
farm buildings, farm homes, farm machinery, including the
application of electricity and other forms of power; research and
development relating to uses of solar energy with respect to farm
buildings, farm homes, and farm machinery (including equipment used
to dry and cure crops and provide irrigation); applied research to
develop agricultural, forestry, and rural energy conservation and
biomass energy production and use; research relating to the
diversification of farm enterprises, both as to the type of
commodities produced, and as to the type of operations performed,
on the individual farm; research relating to any other laws and
principles that may contribute to the establishment and maintenance
of a permanent and effective agricultural industry including such
investigations as have for their purpose the development and
improvement of the rural home and rural life, and the maximum
contribution by agriculture to the welfare of the consumer and the
maintenance of maximum employment and national prosperity; and such
other researches or experiments bearing on the agricultural
industry or on rural homes of the United States as may in each case
be deemd (FOOTNOTE 1) advisable, having due regard to the varying
conditions and needs of Puerto Rico, the respective States, and
Territories. In effectuating the purposes of this section, maximum
use shall be made of existing research facilities owned or

427j of this title, there is authorized to be appropriated the
following sums:
(1) $3,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, and
each subsequent fiscal year.
(2) An additional $3,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June

enter into contracts with such public or private organizations or
individuals as he may find qualified to carry on work under this
section without regard to the provisions of section 5 of title 41,
and with respect to such contracts he may make advance progress or
other payments without regard to the provisions of section 3324(a)
and (b) of title 31. Contracts under this section may be made for

each subsequent fiscal year.
(2) An additional $1,500,000 for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1948, and each subsequent fiscal year.
(3) An additional $1,500,000 for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1949, and each subsequent fiscal year.
(4) An additional $1,500,000 for the fiscal year ending June

(c) The Secretary may incur necessary administrative expenses not
to exceed 3 per centum of the amount appropriated in any fiscal
year in carrying out this section, including the specific objects
of expense enumerated in section 427b of this title.
(d) The ''Special research fund, Department of Agriculture,''
provided by section 427c of this title, shall continue to be
available solely for research into laws and principles underlying
basic problems of agriculture in its broadest aspects; research
relating to the improvement of the quality of, and the development
of, new and improved methods of production of, distribution of, and
new and extended uses and markets for, agricultural commodities and
byproducts and manufactures thereof; and research relating to the
conservation, development, and use of land and water resources for
agricultural purposes. Such research shall be in addition to
research provided for under other law (but both activities shall be
coordinated so far as practicable) and shall be conducted by such
agencies of the Department of Agriculture as the Secretary of
Agriculture may designate or establish.
(e) Appropriations for research work in the Department of

Sec. 450j. Indemnity payments to dairy farmers and manufacturers of
dairy products; milk removed for its residue of chemical or
toxic substances; nuclear radiation or fallout contaminants;
other legal recourse
-STATUTE-
The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to make indemnity
payments for milk or cows producing such milk at a fair market
value, to dairy farmers who have been directed since January 1,
1964 (but only since August 10, 1973, in the case of indemnity
payments not authorized prior to August 10, 1973), to remove their
milk, and to make indemnity payments for dairy products at fair
market value to manufacturers of dairy products who have been
directed since November 30, 1970, to remove their dairy products
from commercial markets because of residues of chemicals registered
and approved for use by the Federal Government at the time of such
use. The Secretary is also authorized to make indemnity payments
for milk, or cows producing such milk, at a fair market value to
any dairy farmer who is directed to remove his milk from commercial
markets because of (1) the presence of products of nuclear
radiation or fallout if such contamination is not due to the fault
of the farmer, or (2) residues of chemicals or toxic substances not
included under the first sentence of this section if such chemicals
or toxic substances were not used in a manner contrary to
applicable regulations or labeling instructions provided at the
time of use and the contamination is not due to the fault of the
farmer: Provided, That no indemnity payment may be made for
contamination resulting from such residues of chemicals or toxic
substances if the Secretary determines within thirty days after the
date of application for payment that other legal recourse is
available to the farmer. Any indemnity payment to any farmer shall
continue until he has been reinstated and is again allowed to
dispose of his milk on commercial markets.
