I have a belief that farmers will be more successful down the road with things like market development, trade, research, and innovation; you can maybe save that other half a percent if you invest it in on-farm research or innovation and trying new things, etc. You would get matching funds from the government. I would see something like maybe tying it in with some of the other planks of Growing Forward 2.
