Agriculture committee  Speaking about local markets, with my farm being right in the city of Fredericton, there's no other farm closer than 30 miles from me. I feel very fortunate. The way I view the world is that the Europeans had it very correct. They built communities around small little farms, there wasn't anything for 50 more miles, and then you had a small farm, maybe a dairy farm, somebody who grew this and somebody who grew that.

Agriculture committee  All right. My name is Jon Stockall. I'm the New Brunswick-P.E.I. board member for the Canadian Young Farmers' Forum. It's a good thing I changed my speech; I can keep it nice and short. I currently run a mixed farm with my grandfather in Fredericton, New Brunswick, right in the city, so we do a lot of direct marketing.
