So that's always good news, right?

Well, that's good news, but it's not good news for California walnuts 'cause China, if you look back at China in 2014, China purchased 58% of the entire California in-shell walnut crop in one year.

They were by far our largest market, uh, in the world export-wise for walnuts, specifically in shell.

58% of the total in-shell crop they purchased.

Now they are our largest competitor.

We compete with China everywhere around the world.

Um, they have far more volume than we do in California.

Because young families wanna be jazzed, and I think you guys are doing a great job.

We're getting an education today on walnuts and marketing.

To be honest with you, to really be successful long-term, it might need to go lower than that in years to come, but for this year, we'll take it.

Based off of last year's big 809,000 tons, 680,000 tons, which is my guess.

It's not verified until...

But my guess, and a lot of people I know think the same thing, that it's anywhere from 660 to 700.

So 680,000 tons is a good crop to deal with and one we can market effectively to all markets of the world.

Some of the pluses are that the quality so far coming in from the field is outstanding.

Michael, with all the issues going on, how about Canada? What's that looking like?
