I was asking about the speed at which we have been trying to get people to change over. We are talking about going from 2.5% to 8% in five years. Can smaller holdings do that? Is there a role for smaller holdings in reaching that target in that short space of time or will they be pushed aside and these big farms take the funding to reach that target? Do the witnesses think we can even reach that target in five years, by 2027?
