So I don't want to really discuss a grant here. This is so important. If you look at China, and I covered this yesterday, but If you look at China by putting a large 100% tariff over and above the tariffs they already paid, they came to the table, they talked. We made a wonderful deal for everybody, our farmers, as you know, with the soybeans at levels that nobody had ever seen before. We were able to make for phenomenal deals.
