Would it be fair to say that there are not so many fatal accidents for farm contractors and agricultural contractors in general in their work? Can they say it has not happened on their watch? They do their job, whether it is cutting silage or whatever, and most of the people involved are professional and have good gear. The days of the machines breaking down two or three times a day are probably gone. If they have not, one might as well get out of agricultural contracting. I am keen to hear a general comment on that.

The first group of questions were centred on you, Dr. Onada. Perhaps you could provide a brief response.
