I have to ask the representatives of the banks a question I missed. There was an assurance given by the banks that they would offer low interest loans to a certain number of farmers in the new year. I ask that the scheme be extended to beef farmers and that there be no limit on the number of people who will qualify under it. Farming has reached a critical point. All sectors are under severe stress.
