I'd like to go at this a little differently. I'm hoping I'm right in saying that good times are coming to farms across the country. I think I'm right. I'm not sure how long they're going last, but I hope they last a while.
If that indeed happens, I would encourage you to not stop investing in agriculture. If that happens, that's not the time to stop investing; it's the time to stop putting band-aids on and to start investing for the future. Don't say the problem is gone, it's over, and we're not going to have the income problems again. They will come back again, I'm sorry to say. I'm sure they will; I hope it's in a long time before they do, but let's try to put ourselves in a better position.
Let's not forget what has happened in the last five or ten years. Let's work in a proactive way to put ourselves in a better position. It's better for budgeting that way, from the federal perspective. Let's put the pieces in place so that we don't run into this problem again.
