Many farmers would like to make changes. For now, ~the least disruptive support to our system would be after the fact, stop-gap payments to producers who had suffered heavy losses. We need a realistic federal meat import law. We are the only beef importing country without such a law. But I am not saying that supply management would not work for our beef business.
