I'm not an administrator, but my answer would be that I think it can. I think the foundations of the program are realistic, and I think it's workable.
Right now it isn't getting the job done, quite frankly. I think part of the main reason is that, at least on the cattle side, we've fiddled with it to try to get these other disasters to fit in there, and it didn't work very well, firstly. That has confused the program. It slowed down the payment schedule.
Secondly, they're dealing with a budget. It's pretty hard to deal with an agricultural problem and still make the number, whatever that number may be. So we've had some serious frustration, for example, with the way they try to estimate out what the sales value of a particular animal might be. For example, right now, while we're looking at interim cash advances, they're using last year's values for cattle. Well, simply, they're probably overestimating those by a third, and then it doesn't trigger any payments. This is what's causing the frustration.
The foundations will work. In our paper we talk about the things it takes to make it work. I think if we work together we can get this thing to work. But there has to be some flexibility, and we haven't seen that yet.
