“Well, may I ask the Senator from North Dakota--I applaud his work on this amendment. I have long supported his concept of targeted assistance for family producers in this context and various others. We have discussed this over the years. But when we expand the loan period from 9 to 15 months, if the producers are required to sell their product within a shorter window of time, does that depress the price further? And who gains by producers having to sell their grain within a shorter window of time than over a longer window of time? Who are the winners and who are the losers when all of the farmers are required, within a relatively short window, to dispose of their grain at one time? Who wins and who loses by that policy?”
