We have to make sure the farmers understand exactly what's going on. I'm able to sit down with the farmers and hear first-hand from them. We also need to know, in the grain industry, how the shipments are going and what's available. This is what this is all about, making sure that farmers—and that we as a government and you as a committee—are fully aware of what the problems are and basically what direction we need to go in, and what programs we have.
