So we set up a peer group program that has multiple peer groups. We don't put more than 10 or 12 farms into a peer group. And then we slice and dice it just based on the level of complexity that each farm has. So our very largest farms who are truly GMs, managers of managers, We've got them in a group. We've got our managing directors who are really managers of kind of the line staff.

We've got a operational manager group. We've got an agronomy group. We've got a women's peer group for those women that are highly involved in the operation as a spouse or as a partner, quite frankly. And then one that I'm really excited about that we've had for a couple of years is our emerging leaders peer group, which is young adults that are from age 16 to 26.
