rounds.

And so it created a lot of pressure on the Roma market as well.

And so you saw that explode.

And then this one was so bad that anybody was trying to get any tomato they could get.

So you did see it start to affect some of the more cherry tomatoes or vine ripe tomatoes that you would see out there.

I'd say in general, there's some interplay.

It all depends on, again, supply and demand.

If there's not a ton of rounds to go around, then Romas are going to get pushed up.

If there's not a ton of Romas to go around, then everybody's going to switch into the high flavor stuff.

Yeah, I think cheap normie tomatoes.

Yeah, exactly.

And that's that's the evolution of the tomato market as well.

Yeah.

There's still a consumer for a basic round tomato or vine ripe tomato aroma, right?

And there's a use for that.

You're going to put that on a sandwich or you're going to make a salsa out of it or something like that, right?

Again, there's consumers that want that basic tomato, maybe the more mild flavor.

That's going to be a guaranteed quality and look a certain way and always be the perfect round shape that when they're in their restaurant-

or their production facility, they're always going to get the same yield out of it, right?

What's interesting to me on the consumer side is definitely, yeah, the explosion of these flavored tomatoes.
