We've interviewed a lot of people that have adopted that. And the CI score thing is very interesting because it's not for sure yet, right? So it's in the law.

So after getting that out of the way. Yeah. Doing some of these regenerative practices, we need a lot of tools that we don't have on our current farm, right? We need a way to put these cover crops in. We need ways to split our nitrogen applications up and our fertilizer applications up. We need to be able to variable rate, and we need to know and gather all that.

And that's just everything in ag, from soil sampling to drones. And we've taken a lot of drone people in for... doing all of that, spreading the cover crop seed, going and flying on nitrogen. Especially this year, we've had so much rain here in central Iowa. A lot of our nitrogen has been washed away. I wanted to comment on Scott's deal a little bit earlier.

If we did the same thing as farmers that our grandpa did or our great grandpa, I mean, we'd still be farming with horses and plows. And guess what? We're going to get swallowed up. That's just not going to be able to happen. So we as farmers need to be able to adopt this technology. We can be cautiously optimistic.

We don't have to jump in whole hog, but I would say we've talked to a lot of people on the podcast about take 20 acres and try it. Put cover crop in. Do the whole gamut just so you can tell yourself. One thing I've learned from talking to everyone, there is not one right way or one whole wrong way to farm. There are so many ways to get to the same outcome, but if we can do it more efficiently...

I really like the sprayer technology that's coming out, the sea and spray type stuff. I have not adopted it on our farm yet. I do think that could be... Look, we're in a very tight margin. We are producing commodities. So anything that can save us money on an input, yes, technology is expensive.

But if you have the tools to implement that and actually know your numbers, if you know your numbers, use things like Harvest Profit and things like that, know your numbers, go for it.
