If we look at 2008-09, the grain farmers wouldn't be getting any money out of it. The prices were good for the last year or two. But go back a few more years more and you'll see the prices were bad. We would like to have a program that works in the long term.
Instead of ad hoc funding in which the money is spread out evenly and often goes where it's least needed, this year we would like to send the money where the need is. We want a bigger bang for the buck. That's why we're going for it. I agree that the price of grain was not bad over the last few years, but in the future we don't know where it will be. That's why we're trying to get programs that work in the long term.
