And kind of got some negative press on that.

So it's important to know it's a, I forget exactly what it's called, but it's like the parts of the cow that we don't eat here.

So it's a little misleading to say like the amount that we're sending over there.

But I mean, I think it's a little surprising that like food is actually part of that.

I mean, in warfare, like agriculture, the food supply is usually hit before anything like kinetic even happens, you know, and then before even the world knows that it's warfare, you know, because you can do that and you can do things to, you know, impact a nation's food supply in the future.

And so agriculture is like a really big deal.

Sure.

Really important.

So all this to tie back to, I wanted to talk about the labs because this is like a whole area inside of USDA.

But we do all of these things like invest in figuring out.

So like personally, I try and avoid like GMOs and we eat like we drink raw milk and we get our meat from a local farm.

But GMOs are actually really important because if we were hit with some kind of adverse event or something and we needed to create corn that could survive a drought better, we have the science and the research to be able to do that.

Got it.

And it's a huge edge that we have geopolitically.

And so one that we have going on right now, and I'm not saying this one's not naturally occurring, but the new world screw screw worm.

Yeah, that's coming up through Mexico.

So our secretary, which, by the way, I couldn't say enough good things about Secretary Rollins.

I mean, she's incredible, just an actual like genuine good and like it's unbelievable what she's able to accomplish.

Uh, but new world screw worm is something that's falling in USDA's, uh, you know, responsibilities.

And this is like a parasite basically that's coming up through Mexico and it's like a flesh eating parasite.
