“...We are agreed that the real and lasting progress of the people of farm and city alike will come, not from the old familiar cycle of glut and scarcity, not from the succession of boom and collapse, but from the steady and sustained increases in production and fair exchange of things that human beings need."

Quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt as he was signing the Act
"The community, indeed, could not advance in prosperity and civilization if it were to continue indefinitely a policy of restricting agricultural production with a view to adapting it to dwindling demand. . . . Instead of leveling down, it must begin to plan coordinated expansion for employing the services of science and technique to the satisfaction of human needs."
