We did a report on the tillage sector before Christmas and one of the big things we learned was that input costs were increasing year on year, which was a huge problem because income was not increasing. The best way of addressing this is to reduce costs, which is what farmers are doing, and getting the optimum price at the other end. This is a positive way of going forward but developing if further is the challenge so that more people can buy into it. The issues seem to be confined to the tillage sector. Is that correct?
