What share of the market your company has lost and how you see that a rippling effect throughout the industry . Well i guess going to car gil share gets to be a bit difficult. But if you look at the u. S. Pork industry or the u. S. Beef industry, we certainly have been the largest exporter around the globe. But as we have dealt with issues in the ports like currency and elements the play in the market, weve seen increase particularly in the last year to countries like the eu, chile. And certainly in the last months have seen substantial decline. Do you think that will be permanent. Will we be able to get that market back . I think any time you disappoint a customer it takes time to build trust back. And as i referred to in my testimony, there is a tremendous amount of potential for both beef and pork exports on the global scale. We have a product that the world is look inging for. And values. I certainly believe the Growth Potential remains. But there is no doubt that weve disappointed

Invested in did not have open access to the distribution network, it would have been an entirely different story. This the difference this is what you can tell your constituents, that it is openness that is the core of creativity. Because there should be nobody acting as a gateway and saying mm, youre only going to get on my network if you do it on my terms. And the key then as we go to the previous discussion, what you want to do is make sure you have that gateway, not blocking the openness of entrepreneurs. At the same time that gateway, not being retail price regulated so that it can continue to invest, thats the kind of balance we were trying to do. But if i i would urge you to tell your constituents, the opportunity for innovation and the opportunity for the scaling that is required of innovation has never been greater because the networks are open.

North america. Will county is crossed by six class 1 railroads, five interstate highways, several commercial water ports on our nations largest inland waterway.
