So if you use the tractor as an example, Tanner, and you look at the farming, and I know that, again, a lot of times farmers bristle at some of this, Why wouldn't you look at, first off, it's coming. I mean, unless I just am dead wrong, which I don't think I am, this movement's coming, and it's going to be about nutrient density, quality.
You know, the food story is going to evolve into, is it regeneratively raised? Did your llama come out and blessed by a rabbi and poop on the strawberries? I mean, whatever. that story is. If you can make money out of it, what the hell difference does it make? You should do it because the ability to produce a bushel of corn or make a Model T, we've got that mastered long ago.

That's where I think things are going. I got another prediction a lot of people don't like to hear, but I don't see any way around it. Eventually, the federal monies are going to get more scrutinized. We're obviously in a very urban and suburban population. We've got less than 17% of the population lives in rural, less than 1% of us farm.

There's going to start to be a little bit of, I believe, more scrutiny on this. And with that scrutiny might start coming the cries of... Water.

Why are we growing corn in eastern Colorado and in the panhandle of Texas when they get four inches of annual precipitation when we already have more than enough corn where you're from and where I'm from in Iowa or Illinois or whatever, Indiana, whatever that should be. So I think there's going to be a little more scrutiny. And I actually see a decrease in farmed acres. Marginal land will revert.

I did a video about that, and boy, people got mad. I think they believed I was insulting their property. I said, if you're highly erodible, rocky, rough, low productivity, or require water in a water-sensitive, depleted area, and I just named several of those places that are, I think that that land reverts to maybe CRP, maybe grazing, hunting-type property. We don't need it.

Corey, I'm in Alberta doing a gig, and there's cornfields, and I'm talking like getting close to... Edmonton. Yeah. Who the hell thought you should grow corn up there? So they're doing it because the incentive is there, and I think that that incentive is going to start to go away. I mean, we also heard about government programs here. We heard about the chunk of money being tossed at agriculture.

Well, that just creates more incentive to create surplus for something that we – I just was in a discussion yesterday, and I'm going to be covering this more – I remember the 80s and government cheese, where there was so much dairy product, the government then decided to help the dairy farmers by buying up the surplus milk and then making this really crappy, not good cheese.
