Okay.

And so the sugar beet seed is actually produced in, like, Oregon.

Okay.

They do a lot of small seed.

We do not do seed.

We buy the seed, and the seed is basically just, it's got like a seed coat on it, small seed, easier to plant, things like that.

But it's actually grown out west in Oregon, and that's kind of where they do the seed production.

Yeah, only one year.

So the seed is grown out in Oregon, right?

They grow the seed or the plants for seed out there and they have to like actually like start them a year in advance.

And that's a whole different thing.

They like start them a year in advance and then they transplant them back into the soil.

And then they actually like, like swath and harvest the seed.

And there's like male and female sugar beet plants.

And so they have to like manage that.

That's a whole different ball of wax.

And then they make the seed and we buy the seed and plant the seed, you know?

Yes.

So much like corn, soybeans, they're also genetically modified just for herbicide resistance, things like that.
