We can put it to the committee at the next meeting. From listening to the contributions of members, it seems they are generally supportive of the principle. Some work needs to be done to harden the numbers, but members are supportive in principle. We all know that the age profile of farmers in this country is high and we need to get it down. We need to get young farmers involved. That is the name of the game.
