And I started calling a few guys I know that are in the game and, and, uh,
They're like, oh, yeah, I got a huge 16 row coming in.
It's only got 10,000 acres on it.
Needs to be ran through the shop.
380,000.
I'm like, oh, whoa, whoa, no, no, no.
Plus the shop.
And I'm like, who's paying that?
And they're like, oh, we've sold like 50 of these the last year.
I'm like.
I mean, we signed up for a program when we went from full tillage to strip till, and it was like 15, 16 bucks an acre for three years.
Yeah, and I enjoy the strip till.
I do it for logistics.
I'm not a big high-yield type farmer that's going for that stuff, but it does take a specific set of skills to run it.
Obviously, the guy that's running the planter really should be making the strips.
Yeah, so you're not just taking the college kid out that wants 10, 15 hours a week to throw in the ripper or the field cultivator.
Now it's a skilled pass.
And so that creates a little bit of an issue.
A little bit, yeah.
I do.
