Thank you very much for your questions.
I drive by your farm quite often with my truck, actually, even though I'm from Alberta, since we go and pick up fertilizer in Saskatchewan. Anyway, it's nice to meet you.
The storage issue is a very important question, I think, and I'm glad you're raising it. Storage is an issue, you're right, but there also is a safety issue, which again you pointed out. As we move forward, there are other issues--for instance, is this properly stored, and are we cleaning out the bins properly?
You'll remember that issue where some pets got sick because there was melamine in there. Melamine is a component of fertilizer. The fact is that we have to be conscious of that. This might not be for everybody, but if in fact you have bins—I don't know how technical you want me to be here--you need coated bins. You need specific bins, you can't just use a grain bin. You can't think of this as just a simple thing of getting fertilizer to the farm and dumping it into a bin. That isn't how it works. You have special bins, coated bins. Possibly those who use more should even have a shed to store it in, and load it with a BobCat front-end loader back into a truck at seeding time.
So it is an issue, and I'm glad you raised that. The rest of the comments I'll leave to others.
With respect to advances on some things, organizations should go back and consult with their members on this specific topic. We could maybe come up with some recommendations.
As a farmer, all I can tell you is that the current changes made to the cash advances and how they help farmers are very significant. I thank everybody on the committee who had a hand in making those significant changes. They have been adjusted to the new needs in this business, and I thank you for that.
