By law, these prices acted as a safety net—if market prices dropped below these levels, the stabilization scheme would ensure growers still received these minimum amounts for their crops."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c1973l00054","history":"/api/acts/c1973l00054/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c1973l00054/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c1973l00054/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c1973l00054/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c1973l00054/documents"}}
