we're going to make it work on the things they already have on their farm. And so for some customers, maybe that is bigger for other customers. Maybe it fits for them where they have a lot of smaller fields and they go smaller and more of them, whatever, whatever works for those customers. We're not picky. We just want to make sure that they have the right product for them.
I think on my side, very similar. We listen to customers. Customer focus groups are a huge part of our development in all of these. And we also do things like how can we reduce the amount of time, you know, kind of a test or a trial. How do we reduce the amount of time it takes from a customer when they pull into the field to get that tillage tool operating and running?

And so a lot of that is pre-planning some of this work. You know, operations center, you talked about it, sending that stuff wirelessly, having things where we, you know, auto field detection. They pull in the field. imports all those guidance lines and boundaries. And with something like prescription tiller, it's going to import exactly what depth we want.

And I think, you know, things like AutoPath, if you've heard that, you were guidance path planning. It makes a lot of this a lot easier for our customers. But at the end of the day, it's the customers telling us, when they get to the field, get me working as fast as possible. And so every day we have engineers and people that are working on how do we make that happen.

Yeah changed my opinions on some of that But I work on spending time as much as we can and then when we are not working is Shut the phone off on the weekends and enjoy the time you have and not worrying about what the next week's gonna bring Yeah, we've intentionally not used the word balance. Yeah Balance is it's skewed maybe sometimes but I'd say the good news too is a
