If that's the truth, I'm very sorry to hear that.
The Beef Information Centre arm of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association has done consumer research. Consumers are starting to say they've done enough direct subsidization, putting this money in. I think we need to find ways that young farmers and middle-aged farmers and old farmers can all make money in the marketplace.
And it appears to me that there is a marketplace. It will be very interesting to hear what Doug has to say about it, but it appears that there's an opportunity to make some money. Of course, in agriculture we have done what we always do: we respond to that challenge. I'm given to understand that you can't buy a John Deere combine for delivery before next November. We've seen the price of urea driven through the roof. We're starting to drive up the factors of production in chasing the opportunity to make more money in the grain sector. But they're doing that in view of making some money, surely not in the view of losing money.
I think there are opportunities, and we should be able to address them in every way that is open to us. I'm absolutely convinced that better research in yield and varieties of feed grains is one of those ways.
