You're right on; you're thinking in the right direction.
I can tell you that I was in a plant in Europe, in Holland actually, not so long ago. There I saw technology work really well. They could trace the chicken that came into that plant from the grower who produced that chicken all the way through to the part that was sold in the supermarket. They kept control of it all the way through the plant.
It's almost like the plant had something like a flight control tower that airports have. There were windows and computers. They were able to see exactly where the chicken was going.
I think we're lucky in this generation. Consumers today can benefit from all this technology. This bill sets the framework so that we can incorporate that technology, so that we as an industry can make this technology available and work with it. The legislation can keep up. Then we can say to the whole food industry across the board, and not just to a meat plant, that we know that traceability is economically achievable, that the technology is here and we want the industry to implement it.
I think this bill allows us to keep up with those kinds of changes.
