I think it’s a bad idea the way we’re trying to handle this. It should be driven by market conditions. The herd is at a 70-year low, and we need to be doing everything we can to support our Iowa cattlemen in what they do. We grow the highest quality beef here in Iowa, and so absolutely I’ll be advocating to the administration because I think we need to be focusing on growing the herd the right way and protecting our cattlemen.
