There's brand new tractors out there that doesn't have 100 hours.

There's a digger there with 180 hours on it.

A 240 Komatsu worth about 200 grand.

There's a brand new Fusion baler sitting in the shed.

There's not even a bale on it yet.

That's going.

The other baler.

Every single machine in my yard is going, except I do a little bit.

in a local quarry so I'll keep a couple of things to keep my own employees battened down.

I am promising my employees in my yard, my top men, the top women in the office that I'm going to try my best to keep them going for the next 10, 20 years even if we hit a recession.

So I am recession proofing my business today and that was a decision that was made by the package the government came out.

So if the government think that's a good package, fair enough to them.

Can I answer that one?

Can I answer you?
