The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz

Thank you, Mr. Boshcoff.

I have one point on what Mr. Boshcoff was asking. Does a state certificate carry the same weight in your mind as the USDA? You were saying that the state does do the certification, but then you're going directly back to the USDA. Does it not carry the same weight?
