And with that, for those not familiar with almonds, are you needing to keep that orchard floor clean all year long or is there a certain time? What's that kind of weed management program typically look like?

Scott FothGUEST
You can let some weeds go, but you can't let them get out of hand because then you have a lot of expense in trying to clean your floors back up and get them presentable for harvest again the next year you just end up with too much organic matter and stuff in the on the floors and it's just a constant battle so you have to keep after them you can kind of relax a little bit after harvest but come winter time then we're starting to go in with our residual herbicides on the berms and we're even going to where we're doing solid sprays on the floors for pre-emergent materials.

Scott FothGUEST
We're starting to go solid on the floors now instead of just doing the 10-foot berm area or 12-foot berm area.

Scott FothGUEST
But on the other hand, it does hold you down as far as expense on more sprays during the summers and springs and stuff.
