The program is designed in such a way that people have to make business decisions. My issue with the program is that instead of supporting viable producers to remain in business, we are helping to move producers out of business. There are examples of families who have had farms over three generations and are choosing to move on. I don't know if that's the right strategy. People are going to exit the business and move on, but it's trying to find the balance between the two. It is a very tough and emotional issue with the producers.
