That is a substantial, tremendous financial hit on the peanut farmers of America. The gentlewoman has characterized it as not a very substantive reform. We think it was too much reform, but she has that to her credit. It is a floor under which the Government support program buys the peanuts." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
