So started conventional.
We've been doing non-GMO conventional since then.
We just recently launched a glyphosate tolerant brand, Override Ag.
which is just single trait glyphosate tolerant.
Many of the genetics, you know, the base genetics crossover, just one being non-GMO, one being glyphosate tolerant.
And from there, the rest is kind of history.
I mean, we've grown at a pretty astounding rate, if you will, because farmers were looking for something different.
And of course the meat of our product, if you will, is our breeder.
He was in the industry, you know,
Bred for Monsanto for 20 plus years, other companies prior to that.
So it was, you know, we kind of joke, we call him a corn savant, kind of even if he didn't get paid to do this, he would do it anyway because it's what he does.
And ever since then, just been growing and trying to bring better hybrids to market every year.
Oh, a hundred percent.
So I would say this, you know, we get this question a lot.
Like, is it just off patent?
Is it just old hybrids?
What we start with is off patent genetics.
The reason for that is, you know, the best breeding programs in the world are very small.
Most of those genetics trickle down from there.
Our breeder knows those backgrounds like the back of his hand, working in the industry for, you know, 25 plus years.
