 Great. Well, thanks for having me. Good morning everyone. I'm going to talk a little bit about what's happening with fruit and vegetable markets in 2023 and what we've seen so far. So I'm going to start by talking a little bit about what we're seeing as far as macroeconomic conditions and how some of those might affect specially crop markets and then move into some of the input costs changes we've seen over the past year and then conclude by talking about what that means for fruit and vegetable prices and what we saw in 2022 and what we're seeing to start 2023. So to start with the macroeconomic factors, you know, starting out with GDP, like to look at that just a good broad measure of the strength of the economy we've seen just consistent upward growth over the past few years since the COVID recession. It's really strong GDP, but what that kind of hides is the inflation so if we look at real GDP which accounts for changes in prices, we've seen a little bit more of a stagnant period just the past couple years. And that's because in 2022 we saw 8.1% inflation which was the highest mark since 1981. So looking back since the Great Recession 2007 to 2009, we've been well below that 5% mark closer to 4% in general. And so really seeing those numbers spike up this past year had some major challenges so the big thing this does is for goods like fruits and vegetables and food in general, it makes consumers' budgets stretched a lot thinner than we're used to. You know, if I go to the supermarket and find eggs for $5 versus the $2 more likely or more used to spending, then it means I'm either going to have to cut back on the amount of produce I buy or I'm going to have to be willing to spend more for those eggs. So we see a little bit of that and I'll get more into how that's affected some of our produce items over the past year in a little bit. The other thing I'll point out is the strength of the dollar has increased. So this is the real broad dollar index. It compares the dollar to a basket of other currencies in the world. And we're looking at the strongest dollar since around 1985. So we've seen appreciation which when we have a strong dollar, you know, is that good news or bad news? It really depends on which side of the market you're on. So if you're buying stuff from other countries, that's good news because it means you can afford more, you can buy more of their stuff for a cheaper price. But if you're selling stuff, then it means it's bad news because it costs them more to buy what you're selling. So, you know, this is one of those scenarios where we import a lot of our fruits and vegetables. So from a US producer perspective, or a grocer perspective that might be not quite welcome news because it means that other countries products are going to be relatively cheap to US consumers. So that's one thing to look out for. Now, as we focus on sort of the more farm specific stuff looking at inputs, in general, we've seen the prices of inputs increase a lot the last couple of years. But we've started to see a little bit of a slowdown on that increase. So for looking at chemicals, let's look at that blue solid line. Chemicals we've still seen increasing a little bit, but fertilizer with that maroon line, we've started to see fertilizer prices decrease in the latter half of 2022. And in the early months of 2023, if we look at raw fertilizer numbers, they've come down quite a bit, you know, decreased probably around five to 10% each to the last couple months. So we are starting to see more manageable fertilizer prices, although they are still a lot higher than what we're used to seeing, you know, really higher than where we were two years ago. And then fuel prices have been really volatile, we've seen diesel prices kind of remain elevated with some of their supply chain disruptions there but there's been a lot of volatility with fuel prices but seeing those overall come down from the peaks where they were in early 2022. Now, looking at what this means in general comparing total prices paid. Those have been up around 10% from the previous year so it's a compared to January of 2022 up 10% in January of 2023. But the good news is prices received have started to come up as well. So, for a while it was just those prices paid. You can see that red line pretty solid steady increase. The prices received, you know, sort of less of a steady increase more volatile jumps and then decreases so we have started to see those come up though at least so that's alleviating some of the pressure that these high input prices have had on farmers. Now, when we're talking about specialty crops. We always have to talk about labor. Yeah, I like showing this graph because the grade line shows all farms in the US. They spend only about 10% of total revenues go to labor so labor less important there but looking at nurse three and greenhouse producers those are closer to 33% and fruit and vegetable producers are somewhere between 20 and 30% So, a high percentage of really highest input cost that specialty crop producers use is on labor, and labor has just gone up recently. So looking at what's going on with labor markets, the unemployment rates is now at its lowest level in 53 years so looking at this chart, you know since the 2007 2009 recession we've seen unemployment rate really just decline it reached around 3.5% to 3.7% before the COVID rich session but then just shot up above 14% but it's since gone back to below the level it was before that recession so that just happened a couple months ago. And so with the strong unemployment rate, you know that makes it a little bit harder companies have to compete a little bit more for labor than they would in other times and so that's part of the reason we've seen some of these wages increase, especially for farm labor, looking at wages up around that $15 range and higher. I will say though that the unemployment rate doesn't tell the whole story. One other thing to look at is labor force participation rate. And so this looks at the percentage of Americans who are looking for a job out of total Americans whereas unemployment rate just looks at the percentage who have jobs among those who are either working or looking for a job so it's not at the level that the unemployment rate can be low but it's because people just stopped looking for jobs. We see that to some extent just looking at this line it's a bit lower than where it was pre pandemic so that kind of suggests maybe some Americans retired early and haven't necessarily gotten back into labor force and aren't going to be at that level so it'd be interesting to see where that level, the participation rate ends up just to see how many people are going to be in the labor markets just to understand wages producers are going to have to pay moving forward. Now with labor one thing that's been big in agriculture has been the H2A program. And so looking at the position certified, we see some of our neighboring states Georgia and Florida are among the leaders. In the southeast we have a lower adverse wage rate so that's the wage rate that's paid through the program, lower than other parts of the country. It has gone up a lot this year, but still lower than where we are out west so for instance Washington and California are also leading producers but have to pay a lot more for that program. And so this can be a good program to obtain additional labor for an operation and so I will mention that the Alabama Department of Ag and Industries, as well as Adam Rabinowitz, he's a economist with extension economist with us to their, they've been doing some programs and will continue doing programs in 2023 to help provide information about this program and how it might apply to different operations so you might want to watch out for information on that in the coming months. Now shifting towards what's going on with fruit and vegetable markets to start the year. Let's just look at what's happening to farmers prices received so for vegetable prices this is just looking at an index of what farmers are receiving month to month compared to 2021. So in 2022 we saw in this green bar, they're a lot higher than 2021 so we've seen pretty strong jumps in terms of the prices that farmers are actually getting. And that has continued towards the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 we forecast that continuing so stronger vegetable prices on the fruit side, similar story. So, the green line showing 2022 prices, red showing 2021 and then purple showing an average of the 2018 to 2020 period so 2022 prices are up a lot higher than both the three year average and 2021 so strong jumps there, kind of supporting what I was saying earlier in terms of prices receiving increasing overall for the economy but especially crop producers are also seeing that as well. Now shifting to what consumers are paying I like to look at what's happening at the retail level because it can kind of put together what consumers are doing and what trends might happen that could affect farmers later on. So, just looking at produce cells this is from scanner data from some grocery stores and supermarket stuff like that. And let's focus on these dark blue bars. First thing first we've saw in 2020 a huge jump amidst COVID of produce cells, you know about 44 billion pounds of produce sold which was about 11% jump from the previous year. And in the next couple years we've seen that decline a little bit, and you know down about 3.5% the last couple years but still well above where we were in 2019. So we've seen some pretty sustained growth in terms of products sold in terms of a weight basis, but in terms of a dollar basis. And that growth even higher so we saw about a 12% increase in produce cells in 2020 but that's continued, you know jumped 3% in 2021 and 5% in 2022. And that's sort of where we see inflation playing a role, you know we saw a decrease in the total volume of produce sold each of the last couple years but we've seen an increase in total cells so even if people are as they have inflation they're cutting back on what they're they're purchasing. They're still willing to spend quite a bit of money on produce and we've seen that, especially with some of our major holidays where produce tends to be up you know the Super Bowl last month and then we have Easter coming up. You know you ask people what they plan to do. You know only about 20% say that they plan to spend the same amount that they did last year so most of them. Most of the respondents of the survey tended to say that they are willing to expand their budget as these prices go up and so that's why we've continued to see growth in these dollar cells or produce items. I'll go through one more thing with produce items kind of breaking it down by fruits and vegetables, and so each of these. These lines show numbers compared to the previous period, or the previous year of the same period so looking at the fourth quarter of 2022 we see vegetable sales were up about 7% relative to where they were the same period of 2021 fruits up 4% or fruits up 1% and then produce in general up 4%. So basically all the positive numbers, anything above the axis shows that we've seen positive growth in terms of fruit and vegetable cells. For the most part since 2019 we've seen positive growth 2021 a little bit of a dip but remember 2020 or 2020 was at record levels so that decrease should sort of be taken with a grain of salt, you know still means that 8% increase relative to pre pandemic levels so overall just the past few years solid growth in terms of fruit and vegetable cells at the grocery level. Now, what does this mean, breaking this down by some specific items. So just looking at January 2023 data compared to the previous year, we've seen fruit and vegetable cells reach $3 billion for the month and up around 4% from the previous years. Now, some of our biggest movers have been tomatoes, which gained around $21 million. Compared to last year potatoes gained $25 million lettuce gained $34 million and cucumbers gained around $14 million. So, we have seen a few of our prices see, or a few of our products see decreases as you know prices have gone up over the past year but a lot of them have remained relatively strong. Even as consumers are paying more in the grocery store for these products. So you know wrap up by, you know asking whether inflation is going to continue to decline you know we've seen the last few months decreases in prices month to month. And so, you know, if that continues to happen, we should start to see production costs for farmers, continually decrease, and then, but there's also the question of what's going to happen with consumption in grocery stores. I would also say that we have had strong demand for produce you know even though people are paying more for their products there, they've continued to cut down on on some of what they're buying but they're still spending a good amount of money on fruit and vegetable items in general. And with that, just thank you all for your time and I'd be glad to take any questions.
