But that isn't what I eat, breathe, and sleep every day as a family person. those operations are the ones that transition the best because we're looking at things a little bit more objectively versus trying to recognize how does land transition? How does the equipment transition? How are we going to be able to support on-farm and off-farm kids?

And it is much clearer and much more well-defined when we have a separate operation versus those who don't. That's why I'm, I'm kind of tying all these pieces together.
