The CASS program was basically something you applied for, and your eligibility was based on farm income. It was aimed at folks who weren't making a lot of money on the farm. It had various purposes and goals. One was to improve your on-farm practices; another was to enable you to find off-farm work.
It was a good program; it was there when I needed it. As with every program, there were a few challenges. But I believe in education and making it accessible. I look around me and I know different folks who were able to take different things, and they've grown by it. They've improved their operations or managed to find off-farm work that's helped them. I would have comments on CASS if they ever brought it back. But you have to try it and work with it. Something like that would be positive.
