And then John Deere bought the whole business in 1999, and the SLC family went away. But SLC is still a John Deere dealer in Rio Grande do Sul. Okay. The family is still. Yeah, you can see all the logos.
Yeah, 72, yellow, black, and red. And in 82, they're our partners. So SLC with John Deere colors. Wow. It would be interesting to talk to someone at John Deere. And here's all the... Yeah, there is a guy that I want to introduce to you. It's Frederico Logemann. He is the head of innovation of SLC, and he speaks very good English.
Yeah. I think no because it's a tropical country so you have to tropicalize your product whenever you go to Brazil. Okay. Because it's a different environment, you know, like poor soils and stuff. They probably are selling to other countries from Brazil but not to the States. I don't think we're exporting something from Brazil to the States.
It's cover acres upon acres upon acres. Right. That's something cool about Brazil. You can test any technology twice a year. I mean, you probably have a lot of seed companies that come around and grow. If you Google Corteva's number or Bayer's number, their biggest business is probably alongside the United States.
There is a company from Argentina, a genetic company from Argentina. It's called GDM, Grupo Del Mario. I think they arrived in the U.S. now. They're selling their seeds. But they're the ones that really took over the seed business in Brazil. They're doing a very good job. They are the greatest, I think, in our country. And they're broader countries. Brazil and Argentina are very close.
Yeah, it's just a lot of things that that's why I like to say that Americas are united by farming because technology transfer, knowledge transfer, everything is kind of going back and forth all the time. And I think you guys were very successful in creating really cool business in the past 40 years that really shaped the world of ag. And we as Brazilians, we're so proud of our ag.
At the same time, we have so much still to learn. And where you go when you want to learn something, you go to the best. So I think, you know, here you guys have this really cool environment for learning. Right. And a really cool environment for testing new products and creating new products. I think the money flows in different ways here. So you have access to capital to test things.
We have to figure out some stuff before we have the same capacity that you have. But it's really cool if we can blend it both countries.
All the businesses you got. You're a serial entrepreneur. Yeah. It's called Startseagro, the name of the business. So you can find us on Instagram. It's called Startseagro. How do you spell that? Startseagro. Yeah. I think there is only an Instagram about it. Yeah. Yeah. See this Instagram? Yep. Yeah. That's our Instagram. Okay. Great. Corey Hillibow follows them. What?
Yeah. So that's our company. And we do missions. We host groups in Brazil. We bring groups from Brazil to here, to China, to Europe. So we have this amazing network throughout the world of ag companies. like bringing people, we talk about artificial intelligence and ag. We talk about, you know, we travel all over introducing farmers to farmers. So it's been a very nice ride for the past 15 years.
So that's when we merged Agro Bravo. Now it starts Agro. So it's really cool. Whenever you guys get a chance, I hope I can take you guys down to Brazil and try to show you, and maybe we can do a farm for profit group together. in Brazil and bring people that are interested to learn more about Brazil. So I think we could partner up on that.
Well, this has been our pleasure.
want to go so if you if you do want to go to brazil and travel let let us know and maybe we can get something put together and yeah and it's us and some of our how many how many usually go what's a good number 15 15 to 20 is like perfect group um like if i would highly recommend you travel with your wife because on the weekend we can go to rio or go to some sort of beach or whatever go to see the countryside and then go to a tourist place like iguaçu falls which is the biggest falls in the world um
So, you know, like make it a family group, like friends and family. It's kind of cool to see it because it's all about family ag. Yeah. And it's the same in Brazil. So you're going to like to travel with someone related. But yeah, a good group, 15 to 20. Go when it's miserable here.
yeah january february march is really cold in here just go to brazil it's it's gonna be 100 fahrenheit and it's gonna be hot and cool and you're gonna like it you're gonna have a good amount of days that you should go i think uh uh if we can i always say that let's leave on a wednesday and come back next friday next week so 10 days and then we can we can spend a weekend
and do something fun yeah so uh so that's that's one thing that i think uh we can do it um um it's really trying to find that place to do uh technical and and and and explore the country right really know the country in other um ways like go to the beach uh brazil has the beautiful coast yeah and it's nice uh but at the farming side it's even nicer yeah and it's pretty safe oh yeah Oh, yeah.
No, it's safe everywhere. I mean, like, I would never recommend you go to Rio, for example, by yourself. Go with me. I'll be taking you to the safe spot. Okay. But, like, I wouldn't. That's the only place in Brazil that I don't go.
Yeah, we have a very good wine side of Brazil in the Rio Grande do Sul. We have... over 200 cooperatives in Paraná State. You have the big farmers in Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso and Goiás. So you can see a lot of different Brazils if you spend 10 days there. And it's going to be a hell of a fun for you.
