Communication is not the problem; it is financial. Mr. Coughlan mentioned commercial farmers. The farmers I represent own family farms. They are commercial in the sense they are trying to make a living out of it and they will be ruined. That is the commercial reality of it. I do not know what the witnesses mean by a commercial farmer. A commercial farm to me is a family farm trying to eke out a living and the decisions ICBF has taken have created for them a huge financial disaster.
