How does. How does this work? That you work for a fertilizer company and you're using AEA products and hopefully they don't hear this? He understands my. I have a great boss, and he understands that. I. It was on my Instagram and I had a. A friend of mine that kind of laughed, but he's like, so are you just kind of putting this out there, hoping that your boss doesn't see? I said, yeah, that's exactly what I'm hoping. So. But if they work, they work. And that's just the nuts and bolts of it. If a product works, it works. And I'm not ever going to say one of our products is better than another when it isn't. If there's another product that another company has that is better, I'll recommend that they go use that product. But if that works, I will always recommend mine or my company's before I recommend another. But when the products work, they work. And so I have definitely moved my management practices more to nutrients than to chemistry.
