Yeah, it's funny, especially coming on the retail side. Poor chemistry guys sometimes got, you know, always the blame on it. And a lot of times when you did the research, you know, certain herbicides are calling for an oil, a heavy AMS load, whatever it is. And then your water, your pH in your water makes a big difference. Those are there to help performance.
You're going out there to spend a lot of money on chemistries. You really need to look at investing, making sure you're using the right herbicide, whether that's into a plant, you've got oil-loving or water-loving pathways, depending on what that chemistry is trying to do. Those are designed for helping that chemistry get in there and helping getting that active in there and doing its job.

So, I know it's not super sexy to sit here and talk about adjuvants and surfactants. They're super necessary and they do a great job. And the guys that use it and are using it to the label, that's where we see better performance. And we all know there's a lot of resistance out there. We've had a lot of hard times killing some weeds, you know. What's that mean, using it to the label?

So every, you know, different herbicides, fungicides, insecticides call for different... I always tell people, make sure you read your label. Okay. There's so many generics out there, so many different active percentages.

Your applicator would have doubled. I hired people to do it. Right, yeah. But depending on what you're spraying, you know... reading the label on what it calls for. Some, again, are for the crop oil. Some are MSO, some are AMS, whatever that is, NISs. They require certain actives of a surfactant to perform at the best level.

Especially if you're going to spray your own stuff and you guys know what you want to spray, not all chemistries are built the same, right? Some of the generics, they don't have quite the surfactant load in there, and you can really help those out by adding a surfactant. So I think it's just important. We battle pigweed now at this point.

We've had ragweed and mare's tail issues throughout the years, and it's just something we don't want to battle, like you said, the next seven years.
