I'm going to call to order the second half of today's session. Thank you to all of our witnesses for being here today. As a farmer, I know what it's like to take time off on a nice day. So we appreciate you doing that.
This is part of our cross-country tour, you could call it, or study into the future of agriculture. It's great to have all of you here.
Since you're all here as individuals, I believe, if you could keep your opening remarks to about seven minutes, that would be great. I'll be a little flexible, but at the five-minute mark I'll give you the two minutes' notice.
If you have any written opening remarks, could you give them to the clerk, who is Isabelle? Then, after your remarks are translated, she will distribute them to everybody.
With no further ado, we'll start with Nathan Phinney.
Nathan.
