I have one question. We are trying to deal with longer winters and it is certainly a matter that comes up in my part of the country. There were great grants for people looking to store slurry but now when there has been an extra month of cattle being indoors because of saturated ground, there is an additional problem. The slurry problem is almost as bad as the fodder problem. What solutions are there other than stocking fewer animals? Where would there be a solution?
