There's going to be continued vulnerabilities. And unfortunately, humans aren't all that nice to each other. No, we're all really jerks to each other. Another area that I read in one of the studies that was a really fascinating risk in cybersecurity with food is not necessarily in the manufacturing part, but go back to those fields where the food is being grown.

Again, we just talked about there is dependency already on technology. Absolutely. GPS-driven farming techniques and everything else. But also, you go back to the seed love, right? So, you know, when you're a farmer and you're planting, you have a window in your weather window to plant those seeds.

A month, three weeks, you know, depending on where you are in the world, when monsoons come, when rains come, don't come. Mm-hmm. Not hitting that planting season right could either hinder yields or cause the whole harvest to be scrapped. Yeah.

The fact that we have most of the seed technology, particularly in the U.S., but globally owned and copyrighted and patented by food manufacturers is a level issue because we can't get seed unless Monsanto makes it and issues it. And so if someone infiltrates Monsanto and screws up their system, we could have an entire soybean crop that doesn't get planted.

Yeah. People don't realize how interdependent all these companies are to the system. The system is not set up in a way that if you break the spoke on this side, the wheel's going to keep moving. That's not true. It's going to collapse. We just saw that with CrowdStrike as an example. It's an example now.

What could happen if someone figured out a vulnerability that was more generic?

What could happen if someone figured out a vulnerability that was more generic?

Yeah, it's scary. And I think I have said this before on the show and I'll continue to say it, but GPS is important to planning because the machine will know exactly how far to drill down. how far to spread out the seed to make sure it's optimal cover to keep the weeds down and it's optimal watering, all these things.

And if it's not done in that way and it's precision farming, this is the way that the farming will be going eventually. There's a lot of resistance to it because farmers are about trust and we're not strong. So sure, we feel about tech yet in a lot of places. But these big factory farms will go full precision in order to get the highest yield the best way they can.

And they'll modify their crops and be able to handle higher temperatures and monsoon seasons and that kind of thing since our climate's changing too much. Even the cattle ranchers, they're developing slip jeans for the cows. So they can stand it.

They are and they aren't. So yeah, there is money. Absolutely. There's money everywhere.
