David Thomas: “I go back to the discussion of this loan versus the other loans. When it was created in the 1980's, not in the 1930's…”

On the recordFebruary 28, 1996
I go back to the discussion of this loan versus the other loans. When it was created in the 1980's, not in the 1930's, it was tied to the actual price of the product. All of the other loan programs were tied to artificial cost-of-production models, which do not have any relation to the real world. It is ironic that the gentleman chose the loan program that is tied to the real-world price of the commodity, and all the other loan programs are tied to fictitious numbers.

That is boilerplate language that is used. This is something that we do virtually every year because there are always accounting errors, and this allows for the correcting of the accounting errors.
