The general assembly finds that it is in the interest of the public welfare that Tennessee farmers who are producers of soybeans be encouraged and permitted to act jointly and in cooperation with other producers to levy upon themselves an assessment upon soybeans, for the purpose of financing programs of research, promotion, advertising and other programs designed to increase the production of soybeans and to increase the consumption, use and sale of soybeans and soybean products in Tennessee, national and international markets.
