“I know everybody in this body wants to make sure that people in production agriculture get a fair shake--not over and above what they deserve but a fair shake. That is what the farmers want and what this bill is supposed to be about. In this body, we all know you can only make good decisions if you have good information. We also know if you take just three words--and I will admit this is called the ``no justification amendment.'' But if you take those three words and set aside all of the other words around it, they don't mean a heck of a lot. You can interpret them to mean anything you want. I am not an attorney. I respect those in this body who are and folks around this country who are. But you need to take the entire bill and look at the language as it is inserted into the bill.”
