Does the farmer have a role in that? In a normal partnership, a decision is made by both parties to the partnership on whether they will thin the trees or accept the price they are getting, for example. Many farmers say they do not have a say and that they are just told what is happening. That is the issue. Will the review change that? Will farmers be given equal status within the partnership which they do not have at present?
