Dave - Oh yeah.
Andrew - I mean we really touched it all and now you're going to the coast to eat so...
Dave - Ahh I'm excited and, and, and, you know, speaking of going to the coast, we're talking about the birds that are flying all over the United States, with the migratory game bird coordinator for the State of Alabama, Mr.Seth Maddox, he talked about the sandhill crane season coming up and duck season then dove season. It was very interesting.
Johnny - Yeah, it was, he covered a lot of ground. And then we went down to Slocomb, Alabama, talked to Matt Wilks, he's the owner of Wilks family farm there a satsuma producer. Satsumas are near and dear to your heart. And then we got a lot of great information. I almost was totally blown away by that kind of information.
Dave - Well you are kind of an amateur in satsuma.
Johnny - I am now an amateur in satsuma farming for sure.
Dave - Yeah, and then we found big man Randall Upchurch you know, roaming around we never know where he was in Macon County, traveling through selling farms throughout the southeast United States for Poultry South. And talk about the poultry market and poultry farms and vertical integration and some of the unique characteristics of poultry farms.
