I agree with you John.

We are not seeing a lack of new farms. Quite the opposite. For
example, a couple of years ago there were no farms in Kansas listed on
Alpacanation; now there are 18. In 2002, there were 21 farm members
in MOPACA; today there are 76.

The amount of interest that we see every day from young families
wanting to get started in alpacas is truly amazing.

But, the point is how are we going to plan a long term strategy for
the industry 10 years from now. I see very few people who are
thinking beyond the next tax year.
