i do it the way i do it in ohio because it is the way it should be done in ohio.i don't want to try to address another state or suggest another state may not do it correctly. i think that -- i hate to keep going back to clear and consistent guidance but that is an issue. i don't care if it is ohio or oklahoma were omaha, neb.. the fda has criteria. they send in inspectors and look at those homes and you had better have your 25 or you're not going to get the declaration. the challenge again with this very soft criteria is it is so subjective and it is so at risk of political pressure that it creates a challenge for everybody because the guidance just isn't clear. that addresses some of the differences in declaration numbers, perhaps. if i look at the actuarial data and the challenge of an ohio paying for disasters that occur in another state, a gulf coast state, for instance, or a state that has great beauty and great hazard, shall we say. if we look at something like a cooperative agreement, that may be a way to address that perhaps. i don't necessarily know. i do

is it realistic to expect ohio to develop the same capability to evacuate ohio that we may expect florida, i will tell you that it is not defensible. it is not sustainable, because we still have the other risks that are going to happen that we have to plan and prepare for an ohio. i think understanding the required resources to dedicate, to devote to meeting that risk in planning for that risk is something that we struggled with. it is something we do not get, i do not think, have to come to grips with as an organization, as a profession, as a nation. finally, ultimately, what is the outcome? what is the big outcome? is the outcome that ohio has the capability to and evacuate the entire 11.5 million people to indiana? probably not. i am sure indiana and not be happy if we did that. we could go to michigan. that would probably cause all right. i am serious. i am joking a little bit, but i am serious because sometimes we forget what the outcome is. all of those points have to be factored into the outcome. is it realistic? is a defensible? is a sustainable? is it based on risk for that juris

i do it the way i do it in ohio because i think it's the way it should be done in ohio.on't want to suggest that another state may not do it correctly. i think that -- i hate to go gak to clear and consistent guidance. i don't care if it's ohio, nebraska or omaha, nebraska. you are simply not going to get the declaration. the challenge with this soft criteria is that it is so subjective and at risk of political pressure because the guyed answer isn't clear. that addresses some of the differences and declaration numbers, perhaps. if i look at the actual data and the challenge of ohio paying for sdas tur that's occur in another state. if we look at something like a cooperative agreement or block grant, that may be away to address that, perhaps. i don't know, matt. i'm not sure how to get it way. they don't have the tax base to pay for all of their own disasters whether ohio and illinois. second question was cooperative agreements. this is a new idea. here are our five projects. they measured whether we could do these projects. cooperative agreements work really well. that

usda was up 1.8%, ohio, i'll just hit that number for you here real quick, ohio was up 7.4% from a year ago, usda was up 22.2%, indiana was actually down 4%, usda was up 4% and illinois was basically steady with a year ago, usda has them down 2.2%. >> all increases except a couple. the eastern, was it all that good, roger? >> well i think when you look at that eastern crop, you know, ohio, we were in a crop last year that was really really far behind. so it was nice to see what we saw out there in those fields. maybe it's not home all the way by any stretch but it is a lot further along than it was a year ago. indiana has got a lot of issues that have faced that crop this year. it went in wet, turned dry, that cool july kind of helped it get through, but as things got here into august it started losing some ground. there's some tip back on a lot of those years we pulled out of there. >>> get into illinois you wanted to see some of those big numbers come out of there but we just didn't find a whole lot of them. but i'll tell you what, we cross that river and all of a sudden it was like [

is it realistic to expect ohio to develop the same capability to evacuate ohio that we may expect floridavelop? probably not. quite frankly, i will tell you that it is not defensible. it is not sustainable, because we still have the other risks that are going to happen that we have to plan and prepare for an ohio. i think understanding the required resources to dedicate, to devote to meeting that risk in planning for that risk is something that we struggled with. it is something we do not get, i do not think, have to come to grips with as an organization, as a profession, as a nation. finally, ultimately, what is the outcome? what is the big outcome? is the outcome that ohio has the capability to and evacuate the entire 11.5 million people to indiana? probably not. i am sure indiana and not be happy if we did that. we could go to michigan. that would probably cause all right. i am serious. i am joking a little bit, but i am serious because sometimes we forget what the outcome is. all of those points have to be factored into the outcome. is it realistic? is a defensible? is a sustainable?
