It is not just zones during BSE. Our herd goes back three generations in our family and has always been either forage or farm-fed grain. Nobody asked me if they'd pay me a little bit more because of that during the BSE crisis. So there are a lot of issues.
We are going to have to get serious about the fact that there is another disaster coming. It is not a question of if, it is when and who, because as we globalize trade we are also globalizing the little nasties that go along with it: bacteria, viruses, and insects. It has hit lots of other industries. It is going to hit agriculture. So we are going to have to be prepared for that. We need a disaster relief program. Tomorrow is probably going to be too late, because we just don't know.
As we see the globalization, we are going to get things. Avian flu is not going to come here from a wild bird; it's going to come in on a plane. We are going to get some other nasty little bugger of a beetle come in on a crate from somewhere else. Who knows, it might eat through the wheat crop, the corn crop, or, God forbid, the soybean crop.
So we need to have that kind of programming in place, and we can't do it soon enough.
