From our perspective, I think everything has progressed in time. We use GPS ourselves. We double-swathed canola last year for the first time ever. You make a swath, you leave 50 feet of standing canola, and you kind of question what you're doing out there. In the end, it speeds up things. It's efficiency. It's all those things.
I'm not afraid to compete. I'm not afraid to compete with other producers in the rest of the world, because Canada is an exporting nation. We wobble between being the third and fourth largest exporter in the world. We have to export, so we have to be efficient. We have to compete against other countries that have lower labour costs or other issues like that.
So as I say, I'm not afraid to compete. What I need from the government is the regulatory environment that allows me to compete, and as far as keeping people on the land, personally, I don't want it. If somebody were going to give me money just to keep me on the land, I would find a different job.
A lot of the presenters here today have talked about pride. There's pride in agriculture. There's pride in doing what you do well. When you stand at the end of the day and you look down the field and see that you've just seeded 300 acres in a single day, or when my grandfather used to be able to harrow 10 acres a day, on a good day--just harrow with horses--there's real pride in that.
So I think from my own perspective it's a regulatory environment that we need that will allow us.... Yes, there are always going to be niche markets, and if you have that regulatory environment, there will be room for smaller producers who will find niche markets on their own too.
