We've asked that question several times, and the number we get is that probably 20% of the producers are in it, but they don't base it on the numbers of actual farmers. They base it on the amount of dollars, or their eligible sales, so it's a different formula. However, we're losing participants, and every year there are fewer and fewer people signing up.
I know this from my farming operation. I have two sons who have basically taken over. I continually tell them to stay enrolled, keep paying their fees and make sure they're doing their books right, because someday we may get a payment if we're fortunate enough to get some changes made to this program. I say it would be pretty disappointing if they pulled out and the next year we see these changes, when it would have been beneficial to their operation.
The number is certainly declining.
