I'm not familiar with the previous program so I can't compare, but this program is meant to equalize fluctuations in the market. When you have ups and downs it helps keep your income stable so you can count on it.
In our industry we have diminishing returns. It's an average over three years, so it won't bring you back up to where you were five years ago; it will only bring you to that average. If your returns are continually going down, the amount helping you also goes down. So it doesn't solve the problem. The problem is our marketplace and being able to sell our products at a fair market value.
