This was not big news. The distilleries had made the change to be able to meet the demand. It is just a bit surprising that no one tried to contact us to see if we could meet the demand.
Mostly I wonder how much extra money the government had to pay by using these brokers who went out and got products. It didn't contribute to the economy, it didn't hire people, it didn't build businesses or support local farmers.
I have to say it's a little disappointing, as I always say.
