Can we draw the following hypothesis from the context? 

Context:

Although I personally am a very strong supporter of wheat board commissionnaires and their appointment in terms of their expertise in marketing, I admit out of those hearings that we held across western Canada I conceded, based on hearing the arguments brought forth from farmers across the country, that maybe we had to move toward a majority of producers being elected to the board.

Hypothesis: The producers are not as important as the marketers. 
It's impossible to say
