I have some other questions, but you've actually touched on a couple of things I wanted to ask about. So I appreciate that.

I want to go to the pork producers and Mr. Preugschas.

There are fewer hogs. There are fewer farms, which means, I guess, fewer hogs. Your ask is $30 a hog. Remember BSE. Money went out. The farmers never ended up getting it, because the marketplace ate it up. If that were to come, how would you protect against that?
