Right now farmers can request their check-off back if they're not happy with what's going on with the work. It's up to the Western Grains Research Foundation to make a case, and for farm groups to stand up and point out the value of this research and the objectives. If $1 million goes in, it's $5 million of value coming back out to farmers, because, at the end of the day, I think a lot of farmers will look ahead. They may be unhappy with some stuff, but when they look ahead, I think most people will leave money in there, because without the research they're going to get left behind in the world market.
