Exciting product.

Not our biggest volume as a company, but it's definitely a very large volume product from a national standpoint.

Yeah, so kind of unique.

I started on the equipment side of John Deere, so that's why I've got a bunch of toys just like this at home.

And about halfway through my John Deere career, I switched over to the credit side of John Deere, which got me into John Deere Credit, and then...

Next thing you know, I have one of my teammates call me and say, hey, this crop insurance gig is pretty good.

Do you need to look at this crop insurance side?

So long and short of it, I got into John Deere Crop Insurance in 2008.

And then in 2015, Farmers Mutual Hale acquired John Deere Crop Insurance.

And it's just been a great life ever since.

You came with it.

I came with it, and I'm so glad I did.

Farmers Mutual has been so good to us.

They're just such a great company, family-run.

Oh, I still, yeah.

I never got all of the demo stuff on the farm.

I've got a brother-in-law that still works for the company, so I get all the inside stuff there too.

But it's exciting.

It's exciting.

So, yeah, that's my career.
