Oh, well, I didn't have time this morning, but the ones that I did see saw you and Jeremy go to the Netherlands to check out lots of autonomous farming, which is quite neatly tied into a first question, which is how do you think modern technology changes day-to-day life for young farmers? What specific areas do you think it could make the biggest difference?
But at the same time, I think actually in terms of how it's going to change the young farmers, it's going to be in a really special way, I think, because let's face it, if you go and learn about farming in school, Of course, it'd be great if it's taught in school, but I think we should do that.
But more importantly, if you're going to learn about farming, you have to pick what you want to actually learn about and actually want to do when you're older.
Or you can go out there and go, actually, I want to be a mechanic or go out there and be one of the agronomists.
There's so many different types of farming that you can actually do and have a career in.
Therefore, we need these students to come through actually are very much IT driven, but again, want to work in farming.
But, you know, I think it's going to change it in a special way, I think, actually.
And I think a lot more of these kids are going to have to be more hands-on and actually go put an app.
Do you know what I mean? But actually, the younger generation on apps are really good.
So therefore, a lot more of these students and these young farmers are going to have to get on their phones, open the app and maybe move their fence, for example, like we've got over here with the goats, you know, with their electric collars and move their fence.
