SECTION 58201-58203
58201. It is the policy of this state to gain maximum benefits in behalf of agriculture from the results of research and service work performed by local, state, and federal governments through coordination and correlation of such activities. 58202. Since the Congress of the United States has recognized the value of marketing research, developmental, and service work through the enactment of agricultural marketing laws, including Public Law 733 (60 Stat. 966), and since Title II thereof embodies features of a nature akin to agricultural and regulatory service functions performed by the department, and inasmuch as financial cooperation in those phases of the marketing field is provided in Title II, it is hereby declared to be the purpose of this chapter to make possible a furtherance of intergovernmental cooperation in such marketing activities as will accrue advantageously to the agricultural industry of the state. 58203. The department is the proper state agency for such intergovernmental cooperation in those regulatory and service features contemplated by Public Law 733 (60 Stat. 966) and in relation to such other federal laws as may relate to the same and comparable activities.
