I am on a change. What about you?

So dad, it's June. Usually you have some reports along the way about the land, the water

regime or what's, is there a season now or is it waiting it out or what are you doing?

This is a low water year. Last year was one in what?

First, last year was a low water year. We got up to about 34, 35, which is about 15 feet

rise on the river. This year it got up to about 30, 31, 32 in there.

40 is flood stage here. Just pushing in on the ducco. So now we've got it all ready to

drain out. We're waiting on the, we're going to plant the muck. The muck is all the water

that's in the back water. When you drain a swamp land, it's just solid silt. It's silt.

It's just muck filled with snakes and snakes and mosquitoes and all that.

So we're going to drain it all. Everything out there now wants to hurt you.

We're going to drain this week and soon as we drain it and soon as the muck appears when the water

comes off, we take four readers with seeders on the back and we just spray all that muck.

Then we'll drain it down a couple more days and move down. So we just plant it as we drain it.

You drain it and you plant it. So the silt is your fertilizer?

It's a fertilizer. We're not buying fertilizer because it's $100 a bag.

Because of the Ukraine, I never knew this till this war happened, is the 75% of the world's

fertilizer comes from Ukraine. I didn't know that. So they can't, obviously they're not providing it because they're in the war.

This political structure we now have is the worst I have ever seen.

Right. My 76 years on the earth.

Pretty bad. So but luckily for you, Dan and us, the Almighty has provided fertilizer by way of the Wastau River.

That is correct.
