Right now in Canada we export 75% of the pulses we grow. Canada is not world leader in the marketing of many products, but we are do lead in pulses. The world looks to us to give direction to where the next year's production is going to be. Land is land, and farmers are businessmen. They will adjust to where the market suggests they should go. It gives us opportunities for more rotation with our other commodities, and we welcome opportunities such as fractionation and flowers. It allows increased efficiencies where you're exporting pea protein or starch to a market that's looking specifically for that product.
