With the greatest of respect, Mr. Callanan is not answering my question. I get that total, the 80, the 92, the 106. I get that the average was at 89 kg of nitrogen and that is as close as we will get to the average. I imagine the bands were worked out from that. That 89 kg figure was calculated on the basis of there being 5 kg of nitrogen in a cu. cm of slurry. It is now down to 2.4 kg of nitrogen per cu. cm of slurry. Will Mr. Callanan explain how and why that is the case? That is the question I am asking.
