I thank both groups for attending. I wish Dr. Frank O'Mara the best of luck. I presume our paths will cross fairly often. Dr. Mullins and Dr. O'Mara spoke about genetics. Dr. O'Mara might be able to answer this question. We have been able to make progress with genetics on the cattle side, although some might say it has gone too far. We have bred better cattle in many cases. Can Dr. O'Mara explain why this area is such a stumbling block on the crop side when we have been able to make progress with it on the animal side?
