I want to thank the gentleman for his leadership on this issue. As the former past Farm Bureau president in the State of Ohio and someone who is intimately familiar with these commodity programs, his lead has been crucial. He knows how the market works. And I think this program is setting up a lot of market distortions, unnecessary taxpayer subsidies that aren't economically justifiable. Our Amendment is a way of providing a safety net in a fiscally responsible manner. I hope we can continue working with the leadership of this committee to make this right.
