Yeah, well, I suppose what we do have to tell everyone is we've made a decision as a group that we're going to be changing the name of Vic No Till and we're going to be changing to Farmers Helping Farmers.
There's a reasonable, there's a bit behind all that, but we felt that the name change was going to help explain more broadly about what we're on about.
You know, in 2002, when the group was established, the name Vic No-Till was very adamant about what the group was about.
It was Victorian farmers and helping them transition from a ploughing-based production system into a no-till system.
And we feel now that, you know, 20-odd years later, 24 years later, that that doesn't actually represent what we're about.
And also we're talking about things far broader now than just the farming context, the farming situation.
And, um, we did a couple of paddock walks and, uh, yeah, two of those were in New South Wales, uh, at that time as well.
And look, look, uh, I've collaborated with you guys over the years and I talk about you.
I've mentioned you to my other circles through my travels in other parts of the world.
And you'd probably be quite surprised, but actually a lot of people abroad have heard of Vignotil.
