I feel we should be promoting more the fact that they are businesses. If you're going to be the owner of the farm, you need to be able to manage a business, so you need your business management skills. Put more emphasis on those, because you need them. That really will separate a lot of the farmers. If you are a really good business manager, you may not need to actually know how to milk the cow; you can hire a person to do that. It's in that area that I see a number of farms not doing as well, and it's in that area that they probably could use the most help too.
