Yes, I think, from a land preservation perspective, we need to look at putting that control into the hands of the industry. Too often we rely on municipal jurisdiction and things like that, which can change with a pretty broad brush. Having a multi-tooled approach and the ability to put land banks and easements in place and things like that is, I think, going to help with the long-term security of agricultural land and, ultimately, our food security.
