Speaking as an economist, I would say yes. I would agree with what MNP has said as well, but there's also a perception at the farm level. One thing we heard from members is that to even participate in the program, they need to hire an accountant or an adviser because navigating the paperwork was often complex, particularly when we had issues like the reference margin limitation within the AgriStability program.
Anything we can do to increase simplicity of the program will make it more equitable for smaller farms, which may not have the resources to hire advisers to help them through the program.
