Not just the diligence and the hard work and the discipline and what that means, righteous, I believe the most righteous of all professions means. The beginning of our country was fought by farmers, but also we lose it from a national security perspective. And when that happens, we lose everything.

That's right.

That's right.

Hundreds of farmers.

Hundreds of farmers.

The first three things on that. The first is that they are almost to a farmer. They are so supportive of President Trump, even understanding that this current, again, trade renegotiation, it hurts. And they're not going to be able to survive that long, but they know that the president has their back. So that's been really encouraging to me. Now, I have made a huge effort

to get out into the country, to meet the farmers, to continue to shake hands and say, we're with you. But in the long run, this is gonna be so good for our agriculture industry, this renegotiation, these opening up markets. Under Joe Biden, we lost $50 billion in trade. We went from a $0 trade deficit with Trump one to a $50 billion trade deficit with Biden.

We went from a $0 trade deficit with Trump one to a $50 billion trade deficit with Biden.

And that's $50 billion almost directly out of our farmers' pockets. So the short term, but that the president is with them. But secondly, to your point, there are tremendous headwinds, whether it is the trade renegotiation, whether it is row crops especially being in the thinnest margins they've ever had in their lifetimes. And then we export so many of those row crops.

That's almost a double whammy. The president's vision of a, you know, basically a disruptive restructure of the American economy includes the shipbuilding. And so for, again, a lot of the exporters that need that extra fee on top of that is just one more. And again, the Jameson Greer and the team has been great.

They've been solving for that and ensuring that ag is at the table and that every day and every decision they're making, they're doing that. But I think ultimately, and this has been a big part of what I've been talking to the that we're opening up those new markets.

And whether it's India or Japan or South Korea or Brazil or Peru or the UK, I am going to all of those countries in the next few months. And this is just me on behalf of agriculture. This isn't our trade crew, our commerce secretary. I mean, it's just me. But I feel so blessed

bullish on the idea that if we are, we're on Trump time, we deploy Trump time, which is going as fast as you can, as hard as you can, for as long as you can around the world, we're going to open up so many new markets for our farmers. And then we solve for the labor issue, which you brought up, which is a really big issue.
