Does the Department not agree that small family farms are the biggest losers in all of this? They do not have the numbers or the capacity to do what someone else may be able to do. Does Mr. Callanan understand what I mean? The small family farms that supply milk in many parts of the country are the ones that will really take the hit on this. They do not have the same flexibility as someone else. Do the witnesses agree with this?
