But ultimately, again, looking at the audience in the room today, what you guys are trying to do, if you're building something to support a farm 10 years from now, I just think we've got to look and accept the reality of the industry that we're in and where we're going to be is probably less of us and the ones that are here are larger. And so how can you be relevant to them?

And if you're going to stay small, you're going to have to get specialized. Right. You're going to have to get a real niche deal there. But I think diversification, I think autonomy is coming.
