Thanks, Chair.
Thanks to all of our panellists for being here today. We really appreciate your being here and your testimony.
I want to ask you a series of shorter questions. It seems to me, from what we've heard, that farmers are in a vice. They're being squeezed from both sides. On the one hand, they're subject to input costs going up, which are beyond their control. On the other hand, they're outsized by an oligopoly of retailers that are pushing their price down.
Are farmers getting fair value for the product they produce? Can you just give simple, straightforward responses?
Ms. Lefebvre.
