We've got obviously got the farm 34 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: at Hines and we've got twenty eight meals and then 35 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 2: we lease the farm at Wakanoe they've got fourteenth. So yeah, 36 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: you can get the variation between properties, which is a 37 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: bit of the morning. I'd rather I would love twenty 38 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: eight at walk, but yeah, it takes a pressure off. 39 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: It's been really hot in Windy and yeah, it's just 40 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: it's actually quite a nice cool field this morning, not 41 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: waking up to twenty degrees in Northwest. 42 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: Isn't it?
