That's the history of tractors. We got to interview Neil Dahlstrom last summer and his book, Tractor Wars. I've got the book on my shelf. I've yet to get into it, but it's a... So it starts off talking about the Model T. Okay. Because Ford then goes into making a tractor of his own, but wants to build the tractor the same way and concept that he had for making it affordable with the Model T. Yep.

So everybody would have a Ford tractor to be able to do the small things on the farm, but John Deere came in, bought Waterloo Boy... and went the opposite route of, we know that Ford's making a tractor that's barely making any money for him, but he wants one to be on every single farm. Let's design a plow that hooks up to a Ford tractor, and then let's make our tractor the premium one.

golden corn like what's golden corn well golden corn is regeneratively raised and it doesn't use gmos and it's more uh it's got more nutrient density so it goes to human food products versus for ethanol because and it's there i have wondered that the the division of of grains that go into hog feed versus that goes into an ethanol plant that just these are the hybrids that have these characteristics that this you're growing ethanol corn
