I'm a public researcher, and I could write a book on grant applications. You don't want to get into that.
I agree that there has been a loss, certainly, in the support of public research. I think, probably, that we need to sit back and take a look at where those public funds are going. We keep going back to this business of either being for or against the Wheat Board. I became stuck in the middle, and that's the worst possible place to be, because you get fire from both sides.
If I look back on my career—I've worked in winter wheat for all of my research career—I think it was a waste of money. The reason I say it was a waste of money is that I could never finish anything. You get these niche markets, the things we talk about here, where there are opportunities. Whether you like the Wheat Board or not, the protection that they feel they require of the whole system has really stifled any of the efforts we've made to move into some of these niche markets. I think we have to get away from that.
