I really think that's the most exciting part about it. As we get into the serious business of the next policy framework for agriculture, it's clear that, at the national scale, business risk management is going to be the debate. We hear about the problems, but we don't hear a lot about solutions. We hear that it's slow, backward-looking and blind to the challenges of climate change. My understanding is that 40% of AgriStability payments come in over eight months after the program year ends.
Our vision for business risk management and data infrastructure has parametric insurance, best practices, climate best practices, support for business risk management and rewards for farmers when they create more resilience. If we could go back and take a moment before the second round of OFCAF began, we could have done quite a bit with that money to further these goals.
