On the recordJuly 23, 1997
what I have done here, as I said earlier, is to try to make crop insurance more comprehensive. So what this does is, it says that any farm with more than 400 acres that can be farmed not be eligible for crop insurance. The idea here is to let the corporate farmers pay for themselves, and try to protect the small farmer. So I think that this amendment will make it fairer. It protects the small farmers. The corporate farmers, then, the big farmers, those over 400 acres of land that can be farmed--by the way, this does nothing out West as far as grazing land. It doesn't touch that part of it at all. It is land that can be farmed.
