That is very interesting stuff. I will concentrate on one area as I am conscious of the time. It is the point I raised with the other two sets of witnesses. Mr. Kennedy spoke about what Devenish has been doing with regard to measuring all the hedgerows and trees and quantifying the soil in respect of carbon storage. My first question is to clarify a point that was made. Is it correct that Devenish cannot yet tell or does not have a way of measuring the improvement of carbon storage within soils from one year to another or from one time period to another?
