Specifically with regard to Mr. MacGregor's amendment, from the testimony that we heard, we can see that agriculture has a very strong track record of adopting technology and adopting environmental improvements whenever they are feasible. In that spirit and because we can't predict that timeline, I would really caution us against putting a fixed, hard date on something, because if that technology isn't there, what have we accomplished by that? I understand the motivation as being a spurring mechanism to drive that, but as testimony has shown, agriculture doesn't need that. Agriculture does that on its own.
