International Trade committee  The level playing field is a big issue. We can be competitive. We've proven that, but we need things to be equal for all of our competitors as well. We have a large export opportunity, for which we keep increasing our production to try to keep our heads above water. The need for those exports is great.

International Trade committee  I think the tomato industry has demonstrated that very well. We are very competitive. We produce a larger tonnage per acre locally here than California does, and a very quality product under the restrictions that we have to work with. We are quite capable of doing it. We have everything in place to do that, and we just need to have a home to ship it to, and a processing facility to hopefully process it, with the value added to it so that we can increase our export markets.
