Oh, yeah. The claw. The rock box in the front has a hydraulic arm that will pick up rocks. I have a vendetta against rocks, apparently. But they do. They cause a lot of damage, and there's a lot of them out there.

You used to go right on the front of the 40-20 with your grandpa and take a couple kids, and you'd go out after you planted and run up and down every dang pass with the planter and try to pick up rocks. No, we don't have to do that anymore.

I think that you can't forget that these are commodities that we all grow, especially here in Iowa, right? And so we all took Econ 101 back in school, and how much money should we make raising a commodity, right? Yeah. Zero dollars. It's supply and demand. It's very simple economics.

And so the only way that you're going to make more than that is to do something specialized or to do something better than the other guy, right? And so in my mind, the people that are going to be farming in 10 years are going to be those that took advantage of the technologies that allowed them to accomplish that. And so whether it involves

capturing data and insights in order to create a premium for the commodities that we're growing, or it could be a new crop, right? Who knows? You look at covercress and some of these other potential crops that we could overwinter in Iowa as a cover crop, or similar to like the corn, wheat, bean double crop rotation in the south.

And so I think that you're going to see technologies that allow that to happen, and then you're also going to see the technologies on the other side that allow the operators or the operations to do that with much more autonomy. And the concern I have is that what we'll save in labor, are we gonna give back in tech fees or the cost of the equipment?

And is there actual efficiency gained on the cost side? Maybe there is operationally, but I don't, I sound like a pessimist, I apologize, but I, I don't see a future where we slow down the pace of consolidation in row crop agriculture. I do think that there will be opportunities to market and monetize different paths in that.
