Thank you very much.
Thanks, guys, for coming today.
You've all talked about the importance of this, and, Bob, you really stressed that this is the right way to go, and John and Bruce have both said to make sure we get a good deal that suits both industries.
We've had a number of witnesses here, and I believe it was one of our government representatives who said “the U.S. has negotiated the immediate elimination of the wheat tariff” with Colombia, and that works out to about “$100 million of wheat exports”. They said they had talked to importers in Colombia who said it's a lot cheaper to buy wheat out of Houston than from the west coast of Canada. They say they're willing to pay a premium here—this is what Colombia is telling us—but at 15% they'll stop buying wheat. It really implies how vital it is to basically gain that kind of access.
Bob, I'm sure you are already aware of this, as are most of your stakeholders. Could you comment on that particular quote and really what it's going to mean, not only to wheat growers but also to other sectors of agriculture that you represent?
