It's a self funded program. In order to be a member you have to pledge 20
dollars per sow either cash up front or five dollars up front with the
balance secured with a line of credit to be paid over the next two years.
Based on that initial up front funding and/or those lines of credit we
secured financing for those dollars to be used in the bid process relative
for sow owners willing to retire their sows on a bid process.
