And in turn, you can also share a little bit about the teams you've hosted on your farm as well.
14:23
Yeah, absolutely.
14:24
So here at the farm, we're accustomed to delivering to the local elevator and not knowing where our grain ends up, right? And so being able to go into countries and visiting with those buyers or those end users on this trade mission to China, as an example, is really important for me as a producer to hear from those buyers, to hear from those end users how U.S.

sorghum is viewed, how they prefer the U.S. sorghum.
14:58
I've had the opportunity to engage with Chinese buyers and end users for a really long time.
15:06
And those those long term relationships allow for really an openness in our talks when we go, you know, into their offices to their businesses where they can frankly share with us why they prefer U.S. sorghum, you know, time and time again on this trip while we were in country.

25:22

25:23
Yeah, so we're able to work alongside, like I mentioned, my husband day in and day out.
25:29
I really like hanging out with him, so that's a good thing.

25:46
you know, and letting those kids learn kind of the cycle of life and what hard work means at the end of the day.
25:54
As you look forward in the future of agriculture, what makes you excited? When I look at the future of agriculture, I have to look at the next generation.
26:02
I have to look at those of my kids' age and even younger, you know, And even those who are older, but just looking at the fire that so many of these kiddos, you know, are carrying and the passion that they have with regards to whatever it is in agriculture, right? You know, I'm not the youngest individual for sure.
26:30
For people who are maybe marrying into a different family farming operation, how do you navigate that?
