You've got to have the ladder.

Well, it's the two most important things in the world.

By the way, like I rode Rex probably like 15 years ago and spent like $1,200 on throws.

I can't imagine what they cost now.

I mean, it's-

Three grand at least.

That's fucking insane.

The tariffs are incredibly bad for farmers.

I mean, by the way, anybody who deals with commodity markets knows that tariffs are terrible on commodity markets.

So like any farmer who didn't know this was coming, frankly, should just have to give me their farm.

You know, it's like, I can't help you, man.

But it's killed us on a couple of levels.

One, you know.

We have lots of rice right now sitting in storage that we can't sell at any price.

All of the stuff about China's gonna buy American soybeans, that's just a lie.

They bought 5% of what they bought last year.

Those are the real numbers.

And so nobody's buying soybeans.

The other thing is that the incredible investments in Brazilian agricultural infrastructure have brought Brazil up to like growing industrial crops.

So that has driven the price down of cotton, soybeans, rice, and corn.
