Yeah. So it'll only seize the weed, sprays it. And then you could put a residual product. You could have a whole separate tank that's spraying a residual product, you know, over the whole acre. And then you could save, I mean, some of these costs are getting a 50, 60, $70 an acre. You know, if you can cut that in half, that helps out a lot.

One technology I'm really excited about that really probably doesn't, I can't tie it back to paying any money, but TerraClear, they have a drone that goes up and maps all your rocks. We have a lot of rocks from the glaciers that come down and gives you the most efficient path to go pick them up. It takes like a eight hour job and takes it down into a one and a half hour job.

So I guess that would be the money saving. That, if you want to run one through the combine and have to spend $30,000 on it, it's not very good. What about you, Scott?

You know, I think that in general, the answer is anything that helps us do more with less, but that's too vague. The The biggest thing I think that we're excited about is continuing to look at autonomy in the sense of how can it truly translate to doing more with less people. It's harder and harder to replace labor. And as much as I love our H2A guys,

it'd be a lot easier just not to deal with the government anymore than I already do. And so I think that there's efficiencies that can be gained through the autonomous technologies that are coming. And I also think that those innovations are being seen and felt and adopted by existing people already on our farm. And so it's not just me that's trying to figure it out.

It's kind of the breadth of the industry. I think there's a lot of technologies, frankly, that really get me excited. I think at the end of the day, though, what's going to be most impactful will be what can help us manage the labor problem that we're having or what's going to unlock additional revenue for the crops that we have.
