As you saw with this last farm bill, It was two years late getting [the last farm bill] passed because so many people have moved into the urban and suburban areas and they have completely disconnected from the importance of these farm programs. With that in mind, do you think it's going to be possible to get another farm bill passed here in a couple of years? It will be. (05:55–06:06)
