Yeah, talked a buddy into buying a couple of semi loads of,
Cake feeders to sell in the area.
There wasn't a cake feeder in the entire region.
I don't think when I moved back from Missouri.
Well, then the ethanol boom hit.
Yep.
And we were one of the first 10 feed yards, I think, to feed distiller's grain in the state of Iowa out of Craig, Missouri.
And we actually bought the product out of the Napa store down there.
He was the local feed broker, was out of Napa.
Like a Car Parts Napa?
Car Parts Napa.
So we called down there and they didn't know if you wanted Napa parts or what you wanted, but we ordered feed out of there the first year.
And, you know, since we contracted everything in, in that industry, we got, we got in on that thing really early.
And Rob Tucker come in, he, he was their local guy there at Corning and
Jumped in.
So we just, we started working out of the garage and just started growing and growing.
And we started brokering distillers grain from different ethanol plants all over.
Started out of Craig, Missouri, and it just went everyone.
I think the third one in we did was we took a huge contract out of Burlington, Iowa, hauled it clear across the state.
I think it was 17 bucks a ton delivered.
