But what it means for the green farmers in Minnesota is a lot of individual tragedy. Because they just lost their crops or a lot of it but they can't make up for it this year like they did in 74 because with the last plane demand corn and soybean prices went way up because it just was very much a raw follow me because there's good crops in those other states. So it's more of an individual tragedy thing for the farmers and ranchers here.
