I won't pretend to be an expert on crop rotation, but I know for our own farm and our own kitchen table, with farm experts in our community, we've talked about this and we've talked about fertilizers and non-organic chemicals in order to hold the moisture and the nutrients in the soil if we don't have the organic product. If we take out our red meat sector of beef and pork and can't spread that on the fields with crop rotation, we'll have to go to a non-organic product that's going increase cost. The moisture is a lot better with the organic product. There's a whole domino rollout effect that will happen if the hog and beef industry aren't there with that product.
