Thank you for the question, Mr. Steinley. It's an opportunity to talk about our farm families as the ultimate stewards of our land, our water and our soil.
No one cares for their livestock more than farmers do. It is their livelihood. In many cases—again, going back to BSE—we lost generations of genetics. They were building some of those herds for decades.
No one cares for their animals more than they do. I go back to the Tschetter family. They were devastated when they came into that barn because many of their turkeys were dead. As you said, when these strange people had come into the barns, the animals had been shocked. The animals trampled each other running away as quickly as possible in an open pen. They weren't in cages and they weren't being poorly treated in any way.
Another aspect that people don't understand—it's the reason this is so important to me and to many who are involved in the industry—is that, unfortunately, farm families are being depicted in a way that is far from the truth. We've talked about how passionate they are and how important their animals are to them. No one cares for them in a better way than they do. I think that's something we have to get out there.
