Wow, the NFU's goals toward sustainable agriculture are wonderful!

Stan, I checked their website, but couldn't find what proportion of
Canada's farmers the NFU represents.  Would you know?  I'm curious as to
whether they are a major voice, or whether they are a minor player, such as
any of our organic farming organizations in the U.S.?

Do their admirable goals actually have a chance of succeeding in the
foreseeable future?
