I thank the witnesses for their presentation and I would like if they could broaden out on some issues for my information because it is a new concept to me to be honest. I would like to know where the organisation base started from their point of view. Do they recruit members or are they just like minded people who came together? What long-term rules and regulations do they lay down to qualify for this? I could start in the morning and decide in a year's time that this is not working and I need my fertiliser. Can people come and go? Can a farmer be active on one day and gone the next? I refer to organic farming, when farmers buy into it they have to buy in for a certain period of time. From an organisational point of view, what are the terms and conditions and who polices or determines them? If I am able to get a few bob more for my vegetables in the market on a Saturday morning because I say I am involved in this scheme but realistically at home I am throwing nitrogen on them by the bucketful, how is that policed or who controls it?
