I appreciate your raising that point. It's a valid observation. Some people, some farms, and especially families have maintained effective stewardship over generations, and have maybe not been recognized for that.
Mr. Grant, you made a comment about having your cake and eating it too. You did give a very valid description, I think, of how grazers leave their deposits, which encourages insect growth, which attracts songbirds, and how the cycle works. We understand, even though most of us in this circle aren't farmers. Some of our other members actually have very strong rural roots and would be very glad to engage in this discussion, but for others of us, we appreciate hearing how this works.
I think the fact that grazing and cattle production are actually good for the ecosystem is not well appreciated or understood. We have a communication challenge here, and I think all of the organizations would maybe want to be helping us understand how we can engage the urban population, who by and large may not appreciate those aspects. How do we address that in a communications strategy?
Have you made some attempt to connect with the generation that doesn't have the experience of growing up in a rural setting, to engage with them about ranchlands, to give them a chance to actually see and learn? Collectively, all of you ranchers here are busy on your own land trying to generate a profit, but somewhere among you there must be someone who could take that on for the group, to engage the urban population with some demonstration projects to actually show off what you are doing to improve the environment.
