One way to go is definitely to go toward automation of the slaughtering process. Corporations, processors, have a hard time recruiting employees. That's not particular to the ag sector, but the difference with the ag sector is that we are dealing with biological goods and there's a perishability that exists. Therefore, going toward automation is probably the best way we have to alleviate that labour shortage, but it comes at a cost. If you're going to start talking about, I don't know, $100,000 to $300,000 per position you would replace, the processors need access to those funds to allow that processing or that transformation toward automation to happen.
