I thank all of the speakers for coming in. I apologise for all of the breaks in proceedings but at least voting is finished now. It is great to have the Crosses here and to see such innovation. It is certainly very exciting. With regard to land, good grass and so on were mentioned. I imagine that, in the Mediterranean region, sheep are generally farmed on marginal land. In that respect, there is a great opportunity for what we would call marginal farmers. What kind of numbers are farmers looking at if they are to have an effective and commercially viable operation?
