I would like to say that I agree that research is extremely important. For that reason, I don't grow Marquis wheat anymore. I've continued to move forward with the innovation that has been put forward in the industry, both through the different varieties that we grow and also in the techniques of how we run our particular operation—minimum till or whatever those are.
We have availed ourselves of a vast amount of research over the last number of years. Some of that research certainly has been stymied because of some regulation, and that research has gone somewhere else. But there still is an important aspect to ensure that the integrity of the system that we have is there. As long as that's maintained, I wholeheartedly believe that research needs to be done.
However, we, as producers, can be as competitive as we want to be, but if I have to compete with somebody else's treasury in order to do that, then that is part of the problem too. So we also have to recognize what's happening in other parts of the world. We can do all we want to do here at home, but we are still in competition globally with other treasuries or whatever. There are other aspects to the reason why agriculture is where it is today, right now; it's not simply always what's happening here at home.
