I believe I can answer the question.

Thank you for the question.

This gives me an opportunity to clarify something about the on-farm climate action fund, which totals $200 million. The department announced a few weeks ago that 12 agencies will be in charge of receiving applications from agricultural producers, which will make it easier to decide how to allocate the funds. This will be done not by the department, but by these 12 agencies.

I believe that somewhat answers the question.
