Thanks, Mr. Chair. It's good to be back on AGRI and to see a lot of familiar faces around the table as well.
I want to start with Agriculture Carbon Alliance and possibly move on to the other witnesses. Thank you all for being here.
I visited a farm in Listowel, not too far from Guelph, where a woman created a small business around using a press to take the oil from oilseeds. She has converted her diesel using an add-on to her injection system, which she buys from Switzerland, to create electricity using the biodiesel that she gets from the oilseeds. She takes the dry seeds and makes what she calls “nutrigrain bars for cattle,” a very high-protein, high-density feed for cattle. She also uses the oil to feed boilers, and she also takes some of her hydraulic oil and other oil to heat the barns.
She created a business around making her farm more sustainable and is now selling those solutions to other farms around her. Have you looked at the small business opportunities that pricing signals give the market?
