Thank you.
Mr. Boehm, it is no secret that we would disagree on a lot of what you're saying, but I just want to correct a couple of things.
You made the leap that trade has not been helpful to agriculture, that it's debt-to-asset and farm income and so on. I have to correct that, because I think your research is a little behind the times.
The average age of farmers is going down. We've seen that over the last decade. We're gaining about 8% in younger farmers, and that's good because there's a solid bottom line. The asset-to-debt ratio hasn't been this good for almost three decades. Farmers are making the decisions to invest because there are positives in the bottom line, and I see a few young farmers in the audience who would certainly love to show you that. Net income over the last five years has been growing exponentially, and that's what's led to farmers making investments on their debt side. They see the long-term benefit of trade allowing them to expand their ability to market offshore.
