Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses today.
I have a quick question for our short-grass expert here. John Palliser in 1840 wrote a report and said nobody should ever live out there because it was a desert. Obviously a lot of people are out there.
When you look at the barriers in the sense that we have ranchers out there who have learned to be conservationists.... I know you've highlighted some things, but what are the barriers for that going on?
