 We have been in touch with Bloomberg and Reuters on their expected procedures, which includes the implementation of rapid scrubbing equipment to quickly pull data from the pages of the report so that it can flow into their system. Yet, there’s a general fear that USDA’s website may crash amid the high traffic created by the policy change. In that case, the backup plan is that the wire services will have reporters with laptops in the press conference that convenes at report release time. USDA will be passing out copies of the reports at that press conference, at which time the reporters will start entering key numbers from the report as quickly as possible. We will be doing the same as quickly as we are able to access the reports.
