So that plays a big role.

And you also have to think about the input costs that come after harvest, right?

For these guys, for the vast majority of these guys, right?

And we, you know, we store beans.

We had to think about that cost or, you know, storing corn and things like that.

But for some of these, for sweet potatoes, for instance, right?

just once harvest is done, we're not done with that crop.

We've still got to cure it.

You know, so we've got, you know, gas, um, we've got, you know, upkeep of, of, you know, pack houses and things like that where we have to cure it before we can even sell it.

So it's one more step.

Um, and you know, then you think like with some of our peaches or tomatoes, right, we're dealing with a perishable product.

Yep.

So we're also dealing with a, um, a, a speed, um,

concept too, right?

Like the clock starts ticking when that peach comes off the tree, you know, in terms of getting it into, into a consumer's hands.

So, uh, there's a lot of, a lot of input, even beyond, you know, even after harvest to get it there on time.

Yeah, it feels like it in March and April, the last several years, really going back 10 years, it feels like we've had more and more and more.

Oftentimes, like we mentioned earlier, right, it feels like they're brief spurts and we don't last through the summer like you guys do here, it feels like.

But yeah, man, weather's changing for everybody.

Like you said, that's row crops or specialties.
