Will Mr. Dowling expand on Senator Daly's point that what really concerns farmers out there is what we consider a dominant force in the marketplace? The committee had a couple of sessions in the recent past on organic farming and it emerged at those sessions that there is only one purchaser of organic beef in the country. That is something the Beef Taskforce might raise with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission in regard to how it allowed a situation like that to develop.
