I always wondered, though, how those TV shows, and when you see the ad clips, and sometimes they don't match the context that they're actually talking about, who's sourcing those? And we learned that that was a piece of how you guys got your content used was, oh, they just ask people that are willing to give it.

So yeah, we typically, of course, originally was wheat, fallow, wheat, fallow. Then the pulse crops kind of entered the scene. So lentils, chickpeas, yellow peas, garbs. And we've found yellow peas seem to be the best. The market for it is the animal food, dog food. So it either goes towards animal feed because it's high in protein, like 26, 28%. Yeah.

Or Asian countries have really been taking it on too because it's been cheap protein for them because they're just desperate to find protein. But it's a shallow root crop that we found we can plant after our wheat. And like this year, our peas, which were on wheat stubble, ran 19, 18 bushels in a year.

Our wheat probably ran average of 16 bushels. So a lot of that wheat, now the wheat that was on fallow ran low 20s, mid 20s. But I mean, it wasn't far off from making the yield of the wheat and it was supposed to be fallow ground. So we were supposed to be spending money to keep the ground dead. And here we had a crop we were able to harvest on it and we sold it for $7.50 a bushel.

It's dropping, but the wheat's worth $5 right now, if we're lucky, before discounts. So I mean, it will be our most valuable crop. So now with that though, we can't plant the farm in that every year because of... diseases like Astrakita and stuff. So we have to do 30% of the farm rotate. So then after that, we'll do a wheat crop again, then we'll follow it.

So everything keeps a fail. Like that was a failure. Camelina. That was a failure. Lentils. That was a failure. Like,
