Just out of curiosity, if there were a producer owned packing plant, run on co-operative principles, would you support this to the exclusion of others? This plant would offer reasonable purchase prices and grids, competitive with other plants, however at the end of the year, instead of the profits getting sucked up into shareholders pockets, it would go back to every producer who shipped to the Co-op? Say its pricing was off by a cent or two until the startup loans were paid off, would you still support it until it was able to become competitive?
