I want to wrap up with a comment rather than a question.
Mr. Samson, I enjoyed most of what you had to say, and I agree with the importance of involving the agriculture community in this. We set up ecoABC to deal with that and give that opportunity.
I want to take exception to one thing. I think in the public's mind the commodity price hike in 2008 was supposedly due to ethanol production and biofuels production. I don't think that's accurate. We had stocks-to-use ratios dropping off for years, particularly in grains. Some manipulation took place in the financial markets there.
Ethanol production may have had something to do with that, but if it had played a major role in it, our prices would still be high, and our grain prices now are very low. I see Ms. Buth shaking her head.
I think it was a simplistic explanation to try to blame that on ethanol production. We should be encouraging ethanol production as much as possible, and other agriculture-related biofuels production on the farm. I don't think that argument is one we can use as producers and as responsible people who are putting programs in place.
