I'll add to that, Mr. Cowan, and I guess I'm going to run out of time.
The other thing is that this is more of a voluntary piece, if you will, the groups coming together. Some of it I think came out of this committee, in the sense of suggestions, that finally we're talking in a more concrete way, if you will.
Obviously, we're not looking to mandate this. Is there a way to solidify this, to continue, because bees are so important to farmers? Mr. Cowan is the first to admit.... He came here and said bees are important to us. We want bees. We need bees. So it's not about farmers versus beekeepers. This is not true at all. This is a symbiotic relationship. The issue is that we don't need to have that symbiosis turn into an antagonistic one that destroys the thing that we very much need.
I'm wondering if there's a way to somehow make this a firmer piece, so that this continues, so that we can start to look in a proactive way at potential things that could happen down the road.
Mr. Cowan talked about what happened with Lindane. It took years to figure that out. We've now realized with this neonic that if we plant in dry, windy conditions there could be an outcome. Now we've learned another lesson. It's like life-learning lessons. But Mr. Cowan has pointed out that it's not as easy for farmers to say, “I'm not planting today.”
How do we keep the discussion going and keep each other at the table, so we can help each other really come together, so that all parties aren't adversely affected, or at least it's minimized? How do we continue to do that?
I don't know if Mr. Cowan wants to take a crack at that or not.
