You raised a lot of the issues that are coming forward in trade. In questions that have been asked previously, there's this idea that trade and what's good for farmers are mutually exclusive, that trade can't be good for farmers. I don't think that's true. We've had previous trade deals where we didn't go far enough to get the kind of controls on other countries that we needed. With NAFTA, we got extremely good tariff-free access to the American market, which grew our cattle and pork industries. But we didn't get controls on some of the domestic supports they had, and this created problems when our currency rose.
