Certainly an example looking at the industry side...I think we want to bring in some of the commodity people who, for example, have talked to us about how you get beginning farmers involved. What have they done as an industry to help in terms of being able to get beginning farmers involved? The other part of it would be, how do we work with that industry in terms of bringing beginning farmers on?
They aren't always just young farmers, and that's why the wording of it. I guess “young” is terminology, but I mean those who are 20 to 40 or 45 years old even, who come back from working and want to get involved in agriculture. I think we'd have the commodity groups involved with that discussion.
Also, I think you have to look at the credit. For example, what credit arrangement is there that financially would be available to help beginning farmers get involved? What aspects are there in terms of where the future is leading--for example, renewable fuels. Where is that leading and where might we be able to enhance some aspects of it in terms of not just young farmers but all farmers? I think some of these actually start back, for some of us who grew up in agriculture, with Junior Farmers and 4-H. Those are young farmers who have taken an interest. What do they see as a vision for agriculture in the future?
I'll leave it at that for now.
