[chuckles]

But they did the job.

And yeah, I, I started to have, I wanna say from 2015-ish on, I started to have very subtle experiences, mostly in dreams.

And even going back prior to that, I always had...

I mean, going back to childhood really, I had a lot of little pings and little nudges that were trying to tell me that there was something else going on.

There was so much more to everything that you're experiencing.

You, as in myself, were so much more.

Hmm

Ryan works with the Breakfast Club of Canada, supporting school food programs across the country.

One school in particular, um, was really proud of, since implementing their, their nutrition program, that they saw a h- a significant decrease in the number of students that were either late for school or didn't come to school at all.

And they said it's because they started serving a hot breakfast almost every school day of the year.

So students knew if they got to school on time, there was a hot breakfast waiting for them.

That same school also reported that since the implementation of their program, they've now seen significant decrease in the number of behavioral issues that they've seen in classes, and they tie that directly to the startup of their school breakfast program.

And the way food gets here is very different from the South.

It's a big challenge, um, trying to make sure we know how many students are gonna be at that school next year, um, making sure that we have that food that's shelf-stable and highly nutritious that communities actually are looking for.

Um, because we do run all the food products that we would send up to them, we run it past the schools to make sure it's what they're looking for, because again, shipping food is one thing, but if it's not food that the school wants to serve or can serve, it's not gonna do any good.

... yeah, what did we learn this spring?

So yeah, overall, I would say it was a pretty good spring.

Um, I mean, going all the way back to Winter Conference to kinda touch on the interest of it, uh, it was really, it still is pretty crazy, the response we've gotten, the excitement around Aerotube, and I think it just really shows that, um, we've got something here that people are, people are ready to, ready to move, move the bar again after all the planter products we've put out year after year.

I think this is just another one to add to the catalog.

So, um, yeah, I mean, following Winter Conference, we pretty much started building Aerotubes the next Monday because we had a grower in Texas that was awaiting on two rows, and the only two that existed during Winter Conference were the one that was up with me up on stage and then the one in the showroom here in Tremont.

So, uh, yeah, the team of engineers, we started building and, uh, we built enough Aerotubes and we ended up having about 150 rows across North America, and then a couple of rows in France, a couple in Brazil.

And so we ended up with a pretty decent sized beta for what we did.

Okay
