I think you need to look at new producer margins closely. I'm not sure how you would come up with that. Maybe you could look at area averages as well, amongst producers in that area. An average is a bad one to use. Maybe you look at giving them the top 30% of producers' margins, or something like that. At least give them a chance to prove that they can do that type of a margin as well. Don't stick them with a poor margin just because certain other farmers maybe have a poor land base or they don't practise good farming and therefore their margin isn't very good. They need that good margin to start with, and they also need a good crop insurance history to start with, so they can go into this and not be busted in two years if they have a couple of crop failures. That's what they're faced with right now.
