I think that creates a big issue for all of us here at the stable, and I think we need to have the same standards of products coming into the United States as what we're required here to raise our products with. So Somebody was telling me about we're losing the onion market to Mexico. They're growing them really close to the border, not meeting our same standards, and selling them for a very cheap price coming across. Have you all heard of this problem? Anybody heard of this problem? It may be onions. It may be blueberries. It may be asparagus. So it. Yeah. (18:18–18:30)
