That is good news. When we receive calls, we try to ask people whether they have made mistakes. It is always difficult to know where the error occurs. People are desperate. I thank the Minister for the clarification.

The Minister has quite a number of challenges on his plate, but the language used to date has restricted the issue to a fodder crisis. The problem is wider than that. If we are to have a more grounded debate on how to tackle the issue, it would be a good move to join the dots and involve the wider community. Individual farmers who are under stress and trying to cope would feel that the broader community understands their position. I thank the Minister for his time.
