Uh-huh, I think it's quite necessary. Because after studying about agriculture I could see where a tangerine came from, and could see how they were packed, how to pick them. Actually, I had never seen that before, so I didn't know. I thought it was very simple--just pick them, package them and that's it. But actually, it's not that easy. There are a lot of very fine matters that you need to go and experience for yourself, in order to be able to understand. So, at least, I think I experienced, for a while, the feeling behind the saying: ``Every single grain is the fruit of hard work."
