Can you give us just kind of a brief history of, and maybe the motivation for why in the world would soybeans need to be here when they weren't even here to begin with?

Right.

Well, obviously you had rice production that was ramping up during this time and, and, uh, cotton production.

And so crops were depleting soils of, of nutrients and, and there needed to be some way to help build those nutrients back.

And so I guess they just looked at various crops that, you know, may be in a situation that had a high adaptability, you know, on various soil types and whatnot, which there are in Arkansas.
