Our relationships with them are stronger than... [Cut to the two of them talking and laughing together.] … probably the relationships with my neighbours. Arnie: A few years ago I worked for American crystal sugar as an agriculturist and it's required that we measure all the sugar beet acreage. So, I was measuring one day and I found out that I was in Canada because at the corner was the Canadian border post, and I was 4 rows into Canada. So, the border is basically an imaginary line, but somebody is farming on each side, and it doesn't matter. The dirt is the same, the crop is the same.
