producers, which contains provisions for correlating the supply of
the commodity which is affected with market demands for it by means
of restrictions upon the total quantity of the commodity, or
restrictions upon the total quantity of any grade, size, quality, or
condition of it, which restrictions have the effect of limiting the
total quantity of the commodity which may be marketed during any
marketing season and which restricted portion of the commodity might
otherwise be marketed by producers in compliance with other laws of
this state or of the United States, or in compliance with established
commercial practice during the marketing season, the director shall
make all of the following findings with respect to the marketing
program:
(a) The marketing program will tend to reestablish or maintain
such level of prices for the commodity as will provide a purchasing
power for the commodity which is adequate to maintain in the business
of producing the commodity such number of producers as is required
to provide such supply of the quantities and qualities of the
commodity as is necessary to fulfill the normal requirements of
consumers.
(b) The marketing program will tend to approach such equality of
purchasing power at as rapid a rate as is feasible in view of the
market demand for the commodity.
(c) The marketing program conforms with the provisions of this
chapter and will tend to effectuate the declared purposes and
policies of this chapter.
(d) The marketing program will protect the interest of consumers
of the commodity through the exercise of the powers of this chapter
only to such an extent as is necessary to establish the level of
purchasing power which is described in subdivision (a) of this
section.
