Yeah.
And that's...
That's a decision that individual farmer makes, right?
And so having the opportunity to do things virtually, digitally, also having that presence in the office, but the technology modernization, so the one farmer, one file piece, we've not done the analysis on how many staff hours that will reduce, but it'll be a bunch.
But the cool thing that's coming is modernized acreage reporting.
And so currently, if you report your acres at FSA, maybe don't report them through RMA,
We're going to give you a paper map and a pencil, and we're going to ask you to literally write corn in that field and the date you planted it.
And once you get your farm all filled out and all those fields, you're going to slide that paper map back across the counter to the program analyst in the office, and then he or she are going to do a data entry.
And they're basically going to enter in everything that you just drew with a pencil on a paper map.
Lottery tendency.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.

And the first year that you go in, you know, we've got the common land units, so the CLU.
Yep.
