There are a number of dry stock and sheep farmers in the room. We have a vested interest in these sectors. I thank Mr. Bryan, Professor Renwick and Mr. Kilcline for attending today's meeting and contributing to it. We will consider the report on the importance of the cattle and sheep sector to the economy. I am not trying to prejudge the decision of the joint committee but it should feed into the work of the implementation body and the targets in Food Harvest 2020 for the beef and sheep sectors.
