Does Mr. Healy accept that the family farm model - and all that goes with it - is an advantage to marketing and that the difficulty is that the price being paid means that the model cannot survive and that the only people who can actually make money are those who can operate on a large scale? That will be a problem down the road. If MII, farmers and everyone else accepts that, then change needs to happen and we will all be a part of that.
