I think we're getting near to the end.
I was interested in a couple of comments that were made around the table. I think it was you, Brad, who talked about the size of the family farm, and we also heard about that yesterday in Alberta. I can remember that my grandfather and grandmother raised 10 kids on a 100-acre farm—not a great farm, but on a farm, a 100-acre bush lot that my grandpa worked off. My dad raised seven of us, including me, on somewhere between 1,500 to 2,000 acres, and I raised my three boys on close to 3,000 acres.
I can remember back when I was a kid, when my dad was still farming 200 or 300 acres. That seemed like the good life. But the reality today is that sometimes when we think of saving the family farm, we think it has to be the small farm, the farm that we saw when we were five or six years old. The reality is that's not the case today. I was glad you brought that point up, because it still doesn't make you a corporate farm just because you have become bigger. It is a reality today, and I think there's always going to be a debate over whether that's good or bad, but it's a reality, and I don't see it changing.
Brad, you commented on AgriStability as well, and about having to be diverse and not growing some crops. I use the same example of Ontario. Everybody in the eighties in my part of the country.... We come from cow country and can grow a lot of grass, a lot of forage, and we can grow a bit of corn for silage, and those kinds of things. Like everybody else, I tried to grow corn as a cash crop, but I couldn't make money out of it. The only way I could make money out of it was to live off crop insurance or government programs. To me, that was not bankable, so I quit doing it. The reason I bring this up is that I think we have a responsibility as producers. We have in our mind that we've always done it and that we should keep doing it, but that doesn't make economic sense, does it?
I don't know whether you want to comment on that, but I thought it was an important point.
