We are a, a, a, uh, driven by a board of producers.

Yeah, so starting at the first of the year here in 2026, the National Swine Health Strategy was launched, and it was done so.

And in order to build this NatStrat, what we did was did some listening sessions across all forms of the industry.

And there's graphics and things that the health team has sent out and presents on.
