And that first conversation I had with NOP in 2020, I said, why isn't there a universal set of forms?

And if you think about it, basically the standards are written by the USDA.

And then what happens is every certifier interprets those.

on their own and comes up with different paperwork.

So think about if every CPA in the country had a different set of tax forms.

That's essentially what's been created in the organic world.

Whereas for taxes, it's one standard set.

The USDA never gave that standard set of forms.

We've been working with a couple different groups over the last four years to get a standard set of forms.

Yep.

And it was actually just soft launched about a month ago.

And at the NOSB meeting in May, it's going to be a public announcement, but there will be a standard set of forms now.

National Organic Standards Board.

They meet twice a year?

Yep.

It's a relationship.

I think also, though, the current administration is actually pretty interested in streamlining certification and making it easier.

So the Maha report that came out, that was actually one of the big initiatives was making organic certification easier.

And so this kind of just dovetails right into that.

Right.
