One more Retail Regular coming up in a minute.

Farming is notoriously an industry with thin margins.

Farmers will tell you that themselves, that they are price takers, not price makers.

So they're always looking for ways to cut costs, and technology is a critical tool.

That's why in many parts of this country, drones are now doing the jobs of tractors and planters and planes.

And as Jana Rose Schleiss reports from KBIA, the next frontier for sustainable farming could be the sky.

Last stop on our retail regular express is Dylan Demery.

She's the owner of She's Fly.

That's a women's fly fishing company in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Dylan Demery.

She's Fly is her company.

It's in Fort Collins, Colorado.

We're going to get a last check-in from all three of the small business retailers you heard today in the final installment of our holiday shopping series next month when, of course, it will all be over.

This final note on the way out today, unintended consequences department.

I saw this on Business Insider.

You remember back in the early days of the president wanting to make Canada the 51st state and then the whole tariff thing and Canadian retailers pulling a whole lot of U.S.

made products off their shelves?

Well, that included alcohol.

And now apparently at least four Canadian provinces are going to put the booze back on the shelves and then give the proceeds to local food banks, which I kind of love.
