We are calling on the government to put the money in the hands of producers. They know how to manage their investments. Not all farmers are at the same place in terms of benefiting from transfers versus investments. They aren’t all at the investment stage. That’s what was so frustrating about the first program.
We are recommending that the payments be made directly to farmers, and they will invest the money when the time is right. They’ll have to pay taxes, so the money will be back in government coffers in no time.
