We have some of the best production land in Canada, and it's the newest land. Some of our farmland is only a little over 100 years old. That's when our ancestors settled there and broke the land. We have to make sure that the land is farmed properly.
We can talk about the research stations in Indian Head and Scott, where along with Jim Halford from Indian Head, they've developed programs on direct seeding and soil conservation. Those things are valuable in preserving our soil. We've almost eliminated soil erosion by wind and water from past years, from the 1930s and 1940s. We have to recognize some of the producers' achievements and innovations—people like Jim Halford.
