The organic or all-natural guys will come after the regular production agriculture guys and say, you know, that's an inferior product or it's going to kill you if you eat it or whatever.

But the fact, and it's almost like they want something to happen to conventional ag without the knowledge and the thought behind it, like once they get through wiping us out, they're going to come for you.

How's it going?

Is Ag Gear here?

There's not a booth here.

The Ag Gear, the main... The owner was walking around.

Yeah, the designer, the guy that designs all the outerwear and the shirts and everything was here yesterday, Devin, but I don't think he's here today.

So we both grew up in a small town in central Texas called Gatesville, Texas.

Most people never heard of it unless they either have family in the penitentiary there or...

They had somebody stationed at Fort Hood.

Fort Hood is on the southern boundary of Gatesville.

Said we just both grew up there.

I'm a year older than Erica.

We went to high school together.

Opposite ends of the spectrum, I was the FFA 4-H kid, showed livestock.

Fair enough.

You know, our paths really never crossed in high school, but once we got out of high school, I went to college, Texas A&M University, got a degree in animal science, wanted to go to vet school, spent a little too much time at the Dixie Chicken and having a good time with my friend Miller Light.

Ended up on school probation, and when you're on school probation, when you apply to vet school, it doesn't really look good.

It's pretty competitive to try to get into vet school.

Yeah, it is.
