I think so, yes.
I'll echo what Brian was saying. The AgriStability program has been reduced considerably for several years now, and quite frankly, it's extremely complicated and difficult to predict. Most farms like mine, which are in a contract situation at a steady level going across, don't have the big up-and-down dips, so we don't have a whole bunch of years in a row when we can get our profit margin way up and then take a smash and get a payment. We're running at a low margin to start with, so when something like this comes along and hits us, it probably won't take us down to 70% of where we already were, but we're already on the edge.
We feel there are a lot of us out there, and we're just as important to the economy as everyone else. My farm operates with 10 people full time year-round, and 20 to 30 people in the seasonal times when we need more. We'd like you to consider ways to make these programs more effective, and try to target the people who need it.
