Or even like the wearables.
Those are fine for the animals.
The big one I'm hearing in the crop industry is drones.
So irrigation drones or sensing drones so they can figure out who needs pesticide or who doesn't need pesticide.
in that particular row or much better for the soil as well because you're not driving big combine harvesters over correct or it also it's really good on the workers too because if you're harvesting tomatoes a nightshade rubs on your arms and that's not good for your skin even if you're covered but you're also harvesting like tomatoes and extreme temperatures really so i think that a lot of that comes down to safety too as well as efficiency which we're here for that we love that yeah
I just, I think what I consistently go back to, and as we're wrapping up this as well, just making sure that people understand what they don't understand.
And it's okay to not understand.
You're completely being ignorant and nobody's going to say anything to you.
But the moment you cross that line and you tell a farmer how to do their job or that their farm smells or that they think their cows are undernourished or whatever weirdness that you're going to kind of say to them, I think you need to check your privilege of not knowing before you start blasting out things.
And that's something that I think is just manners.
Truthfully, I just think it's manners.
It's politeness.
But I also think that we all need to really acknowledge and thank farmers more.
And I say this pretty much every episode now.
I am so grateful for the food industry that feeds and sustains me and my family and anyone I care about and as the rest of the world.
And I especially feel that way knowing different things that are going on in the world that we really do live in a very privileged space.
And yeah, I want to protect it because I want it to continue and be safe for all.
You know, I don't want recalls.
I don't want all the salmonella and E. coli and all these other things that are happening.
It's silly.
