Anyway, let's stick to the topic at hand.
Thank you, witnesses, for coming.
Gentlemen, you represent a lot of growers, and you represent a lot of acreage that's being planted. Over the last couple of years, this committee has looked at a lot of challenges and opportunities. We've talked about climate change. We've talked about soil degradation. We've talked about an increase in the world food demand. One of the biggest things is the consumer and public awareness on how we're growing things in this country and what we're going to grow. They will determine a lot of it.
If we sat here 50 years ago and predicted what was going to be grown on these acreages, I don't think we would have predicted what's being grown on them right now. I don't think we would have been right.
Let's look at 20 years from now. What do you think will be the crops and varieties and technologies, and how we'll be growing things? Some people alluded to what is being done in Australia and Argentina or wherever, but we as a country...what do you think will be grown on these acreages? I know you represent certain crops, but think how it's changed from 50 years ago. What are we going to be growing on these acreages and how are we going to be growing them in the future?
