Chairman Johnson remarks at HSGAC hearing on avian flu threat

Published | Video Starts at 24:35

If you have a catastrophic loss and let's face it, you destroy your flock, that's a catastrophic loss. So we've got to do something. There's got to be some indemnification, some insurance that will keep you in business...I'm shocked that we don't have that, you know, either as a government program or as a...private insurance. for that capability. So, again, that's, to me, a real takeaway of this hearing. So, again, I just want to thank all the witnesses for your testimony. (24:35)
