We have agronomists, but they're more like doctors related somehow on the health side of the business, on the health side of the plant, on the health side of the soil. But not much of, let's say, an agronomist that is a good salesperson, a sales rep for marketing.
Right. Yeah. And then why you guys started Farm for Profit? You guys are both farmers, right? Yeah. And then you guys are like that type of farmers where you go and create a new business, right? And because you have the downtime in winter where you're going to have to figure out whatever is going to be there next season. Right. So on that downtime, you have to think about some sort of a business.
I know a lot of people here in the States that created different business being a farmer, right? So that's why the business side of ag business, you guys are ahead. We don't have a farmer in Brazil that created a podcast. Because they're busy nine months of the year producing something, and they don't have a downtime. It's a nonstop agriculture. There is a new thing in Brazil called ICLF.
It's integrated livestock, forestry, and cattle. So there are 18 million hackers in Brazil integrating that for you. You can Google about ICLF.
Yeah. So they do the line. So they produce, if you Google growing livestock, go to... Silvopastor. Yeah, Silvopastor. Yeah. If you put ICLF, Embrapa. Yeah, Brazil. Yeah. Yeah, so go to images. Oh, go to images? Yeah, go to images. Yeah. You're going to see it. See? So you have a line of foresty, and then in between the lines, you can grow your pasture, put it on the ground.
Yeah, so the combine can pass and it can plant corn and soybeans and rotate that. So you can get foresty, cattle, pasture, and soybean and corn in like one season.
The shade also got something to do with the CO2 from the cattle. So it's kind of like save up the CO2. Yeah. So I don't know how to go technical, but John Deere started this network in Brazil with Syngenta. It's called ICLF.
And then in five years, you can cut that tree and make money.
Yeah. So those are things that are possible in Brazil, right? So Brazil is cool because of that. And that's the technology created by Embrapa, which is our, I think it's the most successful federal department in Brazil. It's Embrapa. It's kind of like your USDA somehow. I don't know if I'm making that comparison.
Yeah, but Embrapa is a very technical oriented. They have Embrapa for edible beans, Embrapa for corn, Embrapa for soybean, Embrapa for cotton. So they have people from the federal level researching about the development of those things. And I think it's what Brazilian most proud of farming is Embrapa. It's really, we're very proud of Embrapa.
No.
I think it's European really started with that, right? European countries. Yeah.
Yeah, it's just insane. We can have a new podcast just talking about technology and tractors and combines, which is, like, I think it's the most fun part of LAG. It's really the John Deere's of the world, how that went up. John Deere went from one factory in Brazil in the past 20 years to, I think... seven or eight factories in Brazil. Really? Yeah.
It's just like, it's their penetration of the growth of Brazil. When they started, Brazil was, it wasn't what it is now. When they started going to Brazil, right? Yeah. And they made a bat and they nailed that bat because Brazil became like one of the biggest farming producer in the world. And they're selling. It's the same with CNH, same with ACCO, same with all those companies.
You know, they're making money in Brazil with all that. But they have their own factories down there. So they generate jobs. They, you know, created a new industry. So they're exporting their products from Brazil to all other countries.
Yeah, I think John Deere came with, there's this company that is a public trading company, SLC. They did their IPO in 06. They were the ones that brought John Deere to Brazil back in the 70s, I think, in the 80s. They came up here and they started to interact with John Deere. They were the ones that made the first Brazilian combine called SLC, which is from my hometown. It's where I grew up.
I saw that. I actually lived through that history. And they were the ones that brought John Deere to Brazil back in the 70s, the 80s, and then John Deere would like buying stocks of their companies. And in 1999, John Deere bought the whole business and they became like the largest farmers in the world. And you said they were red?
the company yeah the the first combine yeah you can put slc uh you can put slc and you're gonna go to image slc combine like right there yep see it's a red and black and yellow 2200 yeah so they look like a john deere they look like a john deere yeah so they went up here they start you know it looks like a james moose
and they partnered up with john deere and then i think in 1996 was slc john deere you can see it up there uh yeah that's an slc in the 70s i think slc 2200 yeah those steel tracks yeah 7000 see that tractor right there uh that tractor was the first uh john deere brought the tractors to brazil in 1996 when they started to build up uh john deere tractors so that'd be the 10 series
That is an 85 horsepower tractor. Like a 6210 or 60... Yeah. I can't. And it's an SLC. You can see that it's SLC John Deere. Right.
