And I had not heard anything about it until I was at Striptail Conference a few weeks ago and ran into some people that were talking about it, so... Started doing some investigating. But, yeah, it's kind of going to be a farmer-owned deal. So you buy shares kind of like they used to do the ethanol plants, you know. So I don't know. I'm pretty intrigued by it.

Yep, $6.50 a bushel for three years, and then they'll have a โ It'll be from after that, I think. I should really not probably say too much because I'm probably going to get it wrong. But if you're interested, you'll just have to call them. Green Acres, yep.

But yeah, they'll have some sort of inflationary type scenario that they'll base off of the products coming out of the plant, whether it's the flower or the meal or whatever they're selling. So, yeah. So are you trying to...

We are putting a cover crop in. Typically we're putting a cover crop in. And the one that we're probably most interested in going to is probably seeding the oats with clover. So the clover will just hang out underneath the oats until you take the oats off. And then it just kind of greens and it, you know, produces some nitrogen and some of that stuff. But right now we're,

Right now we're doing radishes, turnips, vetch. We seed that all in behind our small greens. Done a little bit of work with some local guys who have mother cows. We'll actually lease out our cover crop acres and they'll graze them through, you know, October through Christmas or something like that. We've done that, you know, done that. It works pretty good.
