Yes. It is not about Storm Éowyn; it is about learning from Storm Éowyn, where sheds were structurally sound but had roof damage. I want future TAMS grants to be able to cover a scenario where a shed roof is damaged by a storm but the rest of the shed is fine. In that instance, a farmer does not need a brand-new shed; he or she needs a new roof. We know the damage the weight of heavy snowfall can do. If that roof were to collapse, I would see that scenario being covered as well. We are still working on the design of that to make sure that it is robust in future tranches.
