I put this to Mr. Doyle because he is on the co-op side of it. Co-ops have a tendency. There is a fear among farmers - I will be clear on this because I have to call it straight - that co-ops want a dairy man to buy the milk, fertiliser, meal and everything. Was there a danger that if co-ops got too much control, they would have everyone pushed into the one corner of buying everything off them and they could go nowhere else? How do we balance that?
