But in terms of accomplishing what you want to accomplish under the public goods and services pillar, some of that is going to have to happen under environment; some of it is going to have to happen under other areas. I think something like 17 departments touch on agriculture policy. What baffles me is how you handle that in a budgetary process such that primary producers especially get the funding and the policy thrust they require. It's easier under the U.S. farm bill because they have a committee that looks at it all and directs it out of there.
