It's an interesting comment that you're not a farmer if you don't produce your own grain. That is a topic that I think would create some major discussion. Our industry, and certainly the beef feeding industry, has survived because of specialization and by doing a job on specialization. It's absolutely critical in some of these larger family operations that they specialize and purchase. Our grain farmers are our partners. They're our customers. Whether you raise your own or buy from someone else, I would hope that our representatives wouldn't take that to mean you're a farmer or you're not.
On your discussion on COOL and the value of our food and how good it is, I totally agree with you. I believe we can compete with anybody, but again, it's going to be another cost we have in marketing to the U.S. We have an integrated market on the hog side, as well as on the beef side, between the U.S. and Canada. To put barriers in there actually harms both sides. All they do is increase costs, and that's the issue.
On the food tax thing, I think you need to sell that properly if we're going to be successful. It's an eco tax. Don't ever call it a food tax. The food tax will not sell, and I wouldn't buy it, either.
