On the recordDecember 13, 2001
That would be up to the Secretary of Agriculture or the President to decide. It is not large. There are large corporate farms in the State of the Senator from Iowa, my State, and the State of the Chair. I think the Supreme Court said it well in describing obscenity: You know one when you see one, and it is not going to be a specific farmer or rancher who comes in. This is going to have to be a judgment made by the Secretary of Agriculture who has to defend his or her judgment based on how generally it affects small and medium-sized farms and ranches, not the large ranches, and I think that test is adequate. I do not think one needs to have the technical definition of so many acres or so many hundreds of thousand dollars.
