Effectively the regulations come into being on July 12 for all of the industries that are affected, and that's completely unrealistic. Our final objective is to get this material off the farm and out of the feed system as much as possible on July 12, so we have to back it up. What we're recommending to our members is that they go to their suppliers and ask their suppliers to have SRM-free material available to them on May 1.
We know there are feed companies that have already gone to their suppliers and asked for SRM-free material even now, particularly for bagged feeds, which tend to stick around in the system a little bit longer. On May 1, the feed ban is very easy for the feed industry to comply with. We just stop buying the product.
The challenge isn't really for the feed companies. They'll just call their suppliers and say that they either have the SRM-free material for the feed companies or they send soy meal or an alternative product. What really happens at that point is that the whole system backs up. The renderers then end up with product and the packers have nowhere to send it. What we end up doing, by virtue of trying to comply with the regulation, is really exacerbate the problem. We take the July 12 date and we really just take three months off that period of time.
