I wanted to humbly say to my good friend, who I admired for his support of the minimum wage, we have a little modest minimum wage here for peanut farmers at 610. I just want to chide the gentleman a little, because I have great respect for the gentleman and have read about him in the paper very well the other day, and I was very proud of that. This is a modest minimum wage program. It puts a floor under the peanut farmer.
