Thank you.
If we're going into something that other countries have already been in, and where they are probably ahead of us in the game, I think we have to make sure we develop competitive policy. The biofuel industry is a classic example. What can we develop here that's going to make us competitive with the U.S. biofuel industry?
Beyond that, I think we have to also identify opportunities and then create the innovation centres we talked about so we can introduce farmers to the leading-edge technology and demonstrate to them how it can work for them.
Mr. Betker said something earlier that's very important. If we encourage farmers to invest, let's make sure we encourage them to invest in something that we feel has a profitable future for them. And give them some assistance in investment. It was Michael McCain who once said that we can't expect innovation from farmers who are on their knees.
So we may have to also make sure that we invest. And I've said this many times before: it would be really nice if we could focus as much on future investment and opportunities as we've had to focus on filling the income hole. Because I think that's very important. We need to invest in future opportunities for farmers.
