As our kids, it's interesting. We do we do put them to work, keep them out of trouble. They are a big help this time of year. Springtime on the farm. It's probably our biggest, biggest time. So my kids will be feeding and cleaning and how they're going to be harrowing pastures and driving tractors. So so we put them to work. For our family. And it seems like everything shut down. We're not we're not going to school and we're not going to church and and only go when we go to town or we're a lot more careful than we used to be. On the dairy. We have to be here. We have to go to work, whether whether there's a virus or not.

We milk cows twice a day, every day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, corona virus, which we work no matter what. But it is it is a concern as far as ourselves getting sick. We don't want to get sick because it is important that we're able to do to do our work. My mom has cancer and we want to keep her safe and soul. So that is a concern and we want to take it seriously and keep doing our job. There's a lot of kids at home and eat a lot cold cereal. So we want to keep keep the milk flowing.

Personally, feel more comfortable living in the country or spread out. I think the risk of transmission is a little bit less. I think we do watch out for our neighbors. We know all our neighbors and we watch out for our neighbors. We know who is is high risk and we know who who is elderly and who is sick and has other concerns. So we watch out for those people and make sure that they're taken care of. I think I think it's good in a way that in all those communities were coming together or watching out for each other. Hopefully it doesn't hit too hard and we'll get through it without a problem.
