Mr. Clive Carter:

I will not say a silver bullet. Perhaps a bronze bullet for the moment. The protein payment has been very beneficial for farmers. We hope to reduce the amount of protein being imported and there are benefits for the environment. Beans are a great crop and we would love an extended and expanded protein payment. It is a win-win for all farmers, including beef, dairy and arable farmers. Peas and beans sequester carbon and have no nitrogen input and a lower nitrogen input in the following crop. We would like to expand that into oilseed rape and other crops.
