"I own and run a small catfish farm.

"I cannot sell my catfish to the processing plant because catfish sales are down. The plant I sell to predominantly sells to restaurants which are closed.

"Catfish can grow to big to be processed if we cannot keep restocking and growing catfish. When the economy is reopened, there may not be enough catfish to supply the restaurants that depended on our products."
