You talked about the need to invest heavily in research and development and to move quickly to advance those efforts. We agree on that.
When you answered a question from Ms. Bessette earlier, you said a permanent exemption was needed to support investment. If memory serves me correctly, one of the witnesses we heard from was Ms. Ross. She had a new dryer and told us that it was more efficient, so better for the environment.
Do you think farmers should still invest in improving their current dryers, or should they keep their money until new and better technologies emerge, say in seven or eight years?
Is it appropriate to focus on upgrading current dryers?
