Using your example of wheat, if we had a technology, whether it's by genetic engineering or mutation, that would eliminate nitrogen costs in the production of wheat, we would significantly reduce the input costs of producers. If people wanted to invest, I'm pretty sure they would pick it up. Not only is it good for the farmer's input costs, it's also good for the environment. When you look at how we make nitrogen from fossil fuels, this would pick it out as micro-organisms like soybeans do. But I would not invest in Canada, because I don't know what the rules are, and I have to wait for France to make the decision. That's my concern.
