Cost Reduction
I think it would be a mistake to talk about cost reduction or cost control in anyway except in the context of maintaining quality. The cost of seedlings in our sophisticated system of regeneration today still amounts to not much more than 10 to 20 percent of the total cost of regeneration. So, it's a mistake to skimp on seedling quality in order to save a few cents per thousand when considering the total expenditures. However, anything that we can come up with to maintain costs or control costs and at the same time maintain quality is important to us.
