5 times over Lon - you missed the loss of the North American livestock
industry which is a significant contributor to our GDP. I'm at the
lake right now - no access to tell you how much of a contributor but
it is significant in both of our countries. Once ethanol drives the
price of corn and barley out of the reach of the North American
feedlot industry and once we have exported all our livestock industry
to New Zealand and Argentina then we will be better able to assess how
important our lost industry really was. Of course it will be too late
by then.
