 Good morning, everyone. I have started the recording. We'll get things underway. I want to welcome everyone that was able to attend and start out with a big thank you to the great rainmaker. And you're welcome. We made the connections as of last meeting. And my rain gauge for the month of May so far, I have 3.1 inches of rain. So I don't know that all of you receive that kind of rain, but I heard and wish we had 4 or 5 inches of snow this morning. The back black hills had 12, 13 inches of snow. And so there's certainly some moisture in that. Is there anything before we get started with Adnan that you'd like to add to the agenda? Anybody can type in or chime in at this time? Not seeing anything? Well, of course, you can always add to it later on. I thought it might be appropriate at the end, if there's a livestock update related to the avian flu influenza that anybody would want to give following the weather update. So just in that quick way of an introduction, you'll have specialist Miranda Meehan and Carl Dahl along with myself at the Memorial Office, along with Charlie Stoltenow, Ellen Crawford, and Sonia Fox. And after the drop progress and 7-day forecast, we'll go around the horn for regional updates. Adnan, I'd like to turn it over to you. Good morning, everybody. Thanks for joining. This is the end on today's total precipitation map. And we are looking at 2.6 inch in Edgeley, 2.46 in Oaks, and 2.15 inches of rain in Brampton. And those are the locations that have received the most. That is indicated by the red. And as you see, the south and eastern portion of the state did receive a significant amount of precipitation during the past couple days. And this is the precipitation totals since last we met. And actually, it is the last seven days. And again, these areas did receive significant amounts. And since we last met last time, and again, these areas did receive a lot of rainfall. And looking at the stream flows across the states, up until two days ago, the Red River from the south to the north were running between 9 percentile to 13 percentile. That means Red River was running only 9 percent of the time that was lower. But as you see, the numbers are really bouncing off. In Fargo, for example, 58 percentile. That means near normal conditions. Going to Forecast. I'm going to show the seven-day forecast first. Those of you who are receiving rainfall is not going to like this forecast because the portion that had received a lot of rain is going to continue to have a lot of rain. My computer is trying to boot that area. And earlier when I looked, here it is, I'm going to click on the seven-day forecast. The areas indicated in dark magenta colors are in between the 2.6 inch or 2.8. This is the seven-day total and the maximum amount. And again, it is a southeastern portion of the state. As you move from southeastern northwest, the amount will be decreased. This is the seven-day forecast. And if I clicked on the daily forecast precipitation, you would see almost every day that you will see some rain. Fortunately, this current system is going to get out of our area by midnight today, but the new system is going to start coming in from the southwest. So this is a rainy next seven-day period. I did travel to Oaks last week, and I noticed that in the fields it is the opposite of drought. Actually, the fields were wet, and I heard from the local farmers that they have been having some problem getting into the field because it is too wet and they are afraid to get stuck. I am going to show you the drought monitor that may not reflect your current conditions, because most rains did come after the cut-off date line when this bandage map is produced. So I am going to listen to what you will say and adjust this map based on the outcome. So I would appreciate as well as the drought impact, which may not be the case. Anything that you may say is going to change this map, and I will be listening. I am going to give control back to you, J.W. Thank you. Any comments or questions for Adnan? Hearing none, let's take a quick trip around the state and get a bird's-eye view or at least a 30,000-foot view of what the landscape looks like. This morning, let's start in the Great Northwest. Anybody from the Northwest? Minot Experiment Station or North Central Experiment Station at Minot or others that would like to add some comments this morning? Yeah, this is Chris. Can you hear me, J.W.? Go ahead, Chris. We got about three-quarters of an inch at the research center over the past few days. I think Wednesday when the rain hit, the news station that's a couple miles north of here, they were talking two inches, so pretty variable out this way, but a similar situation as last time as I've been running around soil sampling, digging in the ground with farmers and that. Top six inches or so is pretty dry, but we got lots of subsoil moisture, and I think with this rain that we got, we got enough to get stuff growing so it could tap into that subsoil moisture. Very good. Anyone else from the Northwest? I'm going to supplement those comments. Can you guys hear me? Yes, identify yourself, please. Yeah, my name's Danielle Sinoff. I'm calling from Williams County, and I agree with what Chris said over the past two weeks. It's about three-fourths of an inch, and farmers are starting to really wrap up in the fields. We haven't had too many problems with people getting stuck or anything. It's been relatively dry, but things are starting to green up here, and I have seen some ranchers start to put cattle and pastures already. Not too many, but it's a slow start. They're starting to do it since we've had such nice weather out here. Thank you, Danielle. I see Carla's comments up there. I see Carla Ryan has inserted a comment in the last two weeks. It's starting to green up, but only a drizzle this last week, so it didn't really amount to much there. Again, accenting how variable the moisture has been to date. Anyone else from the Northwest? Hearing none, let's reverse into a counter-clockwise around the state and drop down to the Southwest. The Southwest would like to comment. Dickinson Research Center. This is Chris. Can you hear me? Go ahead, Chris. Yeah, I just kind of did all what Chris said from mine. We're in about the same shape. Good subsoil moisture, and we've read some pretty good rain in the last week or so. We're in field work. I haven't been out in terms of the field, but certainly a lot of it's going on, so it's going good. Thank you, Chris. Anyone else from the Southwest? J.W., this is Kurt. Go ahead, Kurt. Yeah, subsoil moisture is very good here. We've, from a drought situation out here in the Southwest, we've had so much rain the last two years. We had about 50 inches of moisture that some guys recorded. I'm not sure that, yeah, they're talking some dryness on the top. We've had, have had a little bit of moisture two weeks ago to alleviate some of that. Last week I was gone all week. I traveled down to Oklahoma City and came back a couple of different routes. We're not near as bad as western South Dakota, western Nebraska, Kansas down in that country, but I think that stuff all got alleviated this past weekend here, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. There were some tremendous rains down in that country, down in the Phillip, South Dakota country. They've got a lot. They got anywhere from an inch to four inches of rain. So it's quite variable. We didn't get anything out here over the weekend. I haven't talked to anybody yet. South of us, according to the map yesterday, wasn't too far south of Dickinson, maybe the New England country and on. Yeah, they got hit pretty good. And looking at the news last night, south of Bismarck got hit pretty good. So we're sitting pretty good right now. All right, Kurt, thanks for the update. Anybody else from the Southwest? I understand it was snowing during the Mother's Day quarter of her sale down at Bowen. We'll comment to that. Okay, that'll be fine. We can move on and we'll continue our counterclockwise progression around the state. Puts us into the southeast. Anybody from the southeast like to log in? I'll be watching the monitor if you're on need your mic. That's Brian. Can you hear me? Sure can, Brian. Go ahead. We've got good moisture over the weekend. We started last Wednesday and as of current, I think we're over just over two inches of rain now or moisture. So we're sitting real good. Most of the guys around here have all their corn in. Probably about 50% of soybeans are in. So we're starting to see things pop up and a lot better story than what we were in a couple of weeks ago. Certainly. What a difference a week can make in a little bit of rain. Anybody else from the southeast? This is Kelsey Eglin from Emmons County. Well, as of Wednesday to now, Wednesday we got about half an inch. It may have spread out throughout the county and maybe some got a little less and some got a little more. In the past, well, let's see, since Friday or so, Saturday since it's been raining, we got over an inch and a half. And I was driving back yesterday and everything was white. So I know I think we got about six or so, maybe possibly a little more in some areas. I'd heard somebody talk about maybe possibly up to 10, but it was melting already. So we've got a lot of snow. Everything's starting to green up, and it's all melted now in Linton here. And I know that we had people in the field up until Wednesday with the rain. They kind of, they stopped working and I think we had a little bit on Saturday and now I just think we'll be having a little time waiting as they're trying to fight with getting stuck and everything. So. Very good. Thanks for that information. I did receive an email from Lisa Peterson who was in route from South Dakota pushing snow, but wasn't quite bumper high yet. But she was fighting some gummel roads and some wet sloppy conditions. So certainly south of you, Kelsey has seen some major precipitation in the form of snow as well as rain. Anybody else from the southeast? All right. Take up to the northeast. How's the northeast doing? This is Mike Peterson in Grand Forks County. Can you hear me? Go ahead, Michael. And looking at our end on station here in Grand Forks in the last two weeks, we got about three quarters of an inch of rain and it was much needed. The wet cool conditions in the forecast is I'm sure a little concerning to some producers, but once it warms up and dries up, I'm sure they'll finish with getting soy beans in the ground. But other than that, this rain was much needed. And we have had no snow precip, a little bit of sleep this morning. But other than that, that's it. Very good. Thanks for that quick update. Anybody else from the northeast like to respond? This is Angie Johnson. You guys hear me? Yes, Angie. Go ahead. Well, good morning, everybody. Yeah, up here in Finley, I guess it's kind of the same consensus last Wednesday in Finley. We saw about half an inch of rain. However, towards the south of Steel County, past Hope and towards the southern end where I live, we only got about three tents. And so it kind of, there was a dividing line that was split in the county and, you know, it was much needed. Guys were going right back in the field around Hope again, right away. However, up in Finley, we've got plenty of standing water. And so now this morning with the excess moisture, it was sleeting here. It was interesting putting on our winter defensive driving skills back to the test again. But it's, it's looking good. Like Michael said, you know, the cool temperatures kind of concerns me. We have had some soybeans in the southern area planted, but however, towards the north, nothing yet, which is I'm okay with that, you know, on our soil temperatures and even 50 degrees. That's, that's all right with me. But yeah, we're, we've got good moisture. Some of the pastures, I mean, it's going to take a while to recharge some of those stockpons, but the grass is sure greening up again. And things are, things are looking good. Very good, Angie. Thanks for that update. Anybody else? Last call. Anybody else from the northeast? I see Lindy from Towner has inserted the comment pretty much the same here. So it looks like conditions are fairly uniform in that district. Speaking of defensive winter driving skills, our extension veterinarian Jerry Stucca just joined us. I know he was driving battling some snow this morning is when he left the farm, any observations you made in the way? I noticed as my drive by gray city this weekend, there was a cows on pasture. Jerry. Yeah. When you, when you ask for moisture, it comes in all different forms and we've certainly seen it. It rained and light rain, very nice soft rain over the weekend. And then today it started to snow probably over by Pillsbury and then snowed all the way to Page and beyond. And then little bursts of snow and facts on the ground was completely white as I was driving by seemed a little bit abnormal for May 11th, but we do live in North Dakota. So I guess in that respect, all forms of moisture are certainly welcome. But there is water standing in the fields, which tells you that there's been pretty adequate moisture. So it's still welcome. It just makes it a little uncomfortable for us at times. And for those that are still calving, it makes those calves a little cold, but they'll, they'll be okay. Anybody else out in the state, any remaining comments before I bring it to the table here in Fargo? Craig put a comment. Okay. I see Craig just came across about 40 hundreds. Farmers planning like crazy. Three inches in some places. Okay. Anybody else like to add to the conversation before we move on? Yeah. This is Craig. I'm sorry. I'm a few minutes late this morning, but yeah, here in Mercer County, we only got 40 inches of rain, which was great. But we've been plotting all week. The cold weather hasn't seemed to be a concern to the guys. They were going like crazy yesterday when they made a quick trip around the county. But you just go about 20 miles to the west and south of us in Oliver County and over by the Hanover area and there's places that Rick has confirmed three to four inches of rain. So that shows you how spotty it is. The snow did not make it up here. No snow last night. So kind of a different story in Mercer County. Like I said, we've only gotten 40 inches of rain here in the last week. 40 hundred. 40 hundred, Jimmy. Yes. 40 hundred. Sorry. No, that's okay. It means that somebody's paying attention. As we know, we're only in North Dakota. You're only two weeks away from a drought. So conditions can change quickly, but it appears that that's not the case right now. Hopefully we don't have to have flood meetings in the next two weeks. That brings us back to Fargo with the people sitting around the table and the open comments. Oh, Carl, I see your comment just popped up on the screen. Forgive me. I guess everybody can read that. Wind and wind chill. One and a half inches of rain. Anybody around the table like to comment further regarding livestock conditions since that seems to be the topic right now. Yeah. You know, I mean, we are in May. That's a good thing. If this was March or April, I'd be much more concerned. It is supposed to get in the 40s today. I know those calves can be wet, but usually the mother seeks out some type of wind protection and if you can get out of the wind just a little bit, those cows will be fine as long as they've nursed. That classroom is a miracle drug and it just seems to support that body temperature. So I know they'll be uncomfortable for a while. And in truth, we don't know the total consequences of some of this little chilly weather. Maybe we'll get some, might even get some breaks with a little calf diarrhea. Could even get a little breaks with outbreaks of calf pneumonia. But in truth, there's not a whole lot you can do about it right at this point. But I'm grateful it's May and I'm grateful that the temperatures are in the upper 30s and 40s. And it's supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow. 50s and 60s tomorrow. The other thing I'd say with that is we might get some breaks, but your cow yards and some of these areas that got three, four inches of rain, those cow yards could be a mess. So if there's anything we can do to get some type of dry conditions or get those cattle out. I know we were talking about, you know, some of the sacrifice pastures or something like that would be a good idea to get the congestion away. Anybody else around the table have something they'd like to add? Okay. Well, the conversations have certainly changed since we met two weeks ago by, rescued by rain. So I guess listening to comments so far, it's just that for your news items going out, radio, et cetera, talking about preparing for or watching for some of the health hazards in the cow yard and opportunities to obey any of those. Anybody else would like to add to the comments? J.W., this is Craig. Yes, Craig. I guess on the flip side, on the crop side, I haven't had a chance to look yet, but calls this morning already, people worried about winter kill on alfalfa and winter wheat. I know it was down to 25 degrees here this morning, at least at my house. So I don't know if there's anything they can do about it, but that's the phone calls I had on my answering machine this morning already. Thanks, Craig. I appreciate you bringing that up. We did have some extensive winter kill this spring here and east, as much as 40% in some areas. It seemed to be isolated, and typically it was the older stands that the people that I talked to. This is Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, at least in the research plots. If there were four- and five-year-old stands, it was up to, well, in some case, a 1% loss of alfalfa. The younger stands so far seem to be fine. Of course, this was before breaking dormancy and exposed crowns and an open winter. Conditions now are significantly different, but with the moisture and growing conditions, I don't know. I've been away from the crop side long enough. Now I don't remember where the critical temperature is on alfalfa, 25, possibly approaching it. Certainly it would be with some other crops as I've driven the countryside. In the northeast, I see a lot of wheat now that, even from the windshield, appears to be at least a three-leaf and possibly approaching a four-leaf stage. Guys around here got a pretty early jump on it, and somewhat to my surprise, it's cold as the subtle temperatures. I thought, obviously, the plants are telling us it was more than adequate for pretty good growth. Anybody else have anything? I guess I can see there's not much to talk about, and that's a good thing, but we could make the opportunity here to bring up some other comments. Miranda, you have the floor. Yeah, later to the drought, I had the Jeff Prince, the state range, kind of the RCS, reached out to me regarding the drought calculator, and it was something that we would be interested in working on improving. ARS developed it out of Fort Collins, and he's gone as far as getting their approval for us to modify it. That's something you'd want to do, because currently, you have to upload your own precipitation data into it. It doesn't automatically load your current precipitation data. And then what it does is it gives you a growth curve and compares the growth curve based off of your precipitation to the standard growth curve. So if you're behind or ahead of your predicted growth for vegetation and range readiness. Is that strictly on range readiness? It's developed for rangelands, and it's developed for rangelands that are in reference type conditions. So there's some work that could be done to improve that as a tool. Thank you for that update. Anyone else? Go on once, go on twice. Let's take this opportunity. There's any other current issues that need to be addressed, and one that's been in the news for constantly is of course the outbreak with the infections in the poultry flocks. Charlie pushed down a map. I think it was on Friday and showed everywhere from Rosso, Minnesota to Madison, South Dakota and over to Jefferson in Wisconsin. So it is quite widespread, extremely eminent that there's a problem there. In Iowa and Minnesota, the ones that really took the hit on this for some reason. And the other thing is they're a little baffled on the transmission. It might actually be via aerosol from, and they don't know. Usually you thought it was the wild birds, but the way it's behaving, it's acting more like a farm-to-farm type transmission. And so they're still kind of baffled as to what's really going on. All I want to do is maintain it, and we're good on the North Coast side. But biosecurity out there, we do not want to be part of anybody saying we're responsible for transmitting this disease. So be careful as you go on to operations and if you, for chance, go on to poultry operation, you know, be really careful. You know, walk in, leave the car outside, get your boots, tie back coveralls, whatever. We just do not want it to be accused of, you know, inferred that we had any part of any transmissions. Question for you, Charlie. Let me say poultry operation. These guys have 20-backyard chickens. I mean, the same level of concern, because there's a lot of that out there. There's a way more of that kind of casual contact with the smaller flocks than anything else. Right. And Carl brings up another good question. What do we do? And my sentiment on this is you really can't, you don't know. You don't know who's infected and who isn't. And so, really, you've got to be careful even with the little flocks out there. And so you say, wow, that's a lot of work. Well, maybe you don't want to go to those right now in the midst of an outbreak like this and what you can do by phone or other ways. But you just don't know where it's at. It doesn't matter if it's $20,000 or $20,000. It's the same rules apply. Thanks for those comments. I think it really drives home the importance of biosecurity, whether in this case with poultry or our other operations. You know that we can be very vulnerable. As in multiple, several states, regions have canceled all of their poultry shows for county fares and state fares and so forth. And even though we don't regard many cases of poultry as being a significant livestock enterprise in this state, yet when you start thinking about all the small farm flocks and include those, it can be quite significant. So keep those premises, approaching premises, avoiding them in this case until things get better. So I just had a question, J.W. Alonso's lines. We haven't done it for a few years. Is there a need for basic biosecurity training on personal equipment, clothing, those types of issues? Just curious what the field force thinks out there. Your chance to speak. I don't feel you're out of touch because you've not had the opportunity to participate in biosecurity training before. If that's an important issue, if you feel uncomfortable with that, we can sure look at ways of providing some update, whether that's in writing or quick video or actually having some on-site training. Any thoughts on that? Prime, we'll probably do us all good. This is Mike and Graham Ports as a new agent and knowing that there's a lot of new agents. Even in just our Northeast district, there might be a good idea to have some type of training like this. Point well taken, Michael. Thanks for speaking up. I see a couple of comments going across the screen now that seem to be in agree, agree as well. Jerry, I think you sent out a kind of a little index card, a checklist or whatever we have that developed for a few years ago. Miranda and I have actually had some conversations about doing this with our agents. We're going to try and develop something. I think it's a good idea to just at least review for those already know. If it's something new, that's even better. It's not just on the livestock side. I had one of my specialists on the crop side describe to me a situation where they could see going into the field where someone went in and actually carried the pathogen into the field out to a monitoring site. I think this would have more than just livestock ramifications. Very good. J.W., this is Jackie. Go ahead. I was just wondering, we have not cancelled our poultry show as of yet. We were thinking about waiting until after the June 10th Board of Animal Health meeting. I guess I'm wondering what you think that we should do out in the counties as far as Charlie or Dr. Jerry. Yeah. Jackie, the last communication that I had with Susan and her office is that I think she's strongly recommending that we don't have any of these poultry shows or sometimes even these little sales that take place that I'm really kind of unaware of. So that's where I guess our stance is right now. Let's not contribute to the problem by having more of these co-mingling events, if you will. So things could change. I understand, but right now I think that's where our stance is. Charlie, do you have anything to add to that? No. Susan is pretty much, I'm pretty sure that Board of Animal Health is going to pass the policy and rules that will be all cancelled. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. That's okay. I just wanted to know, because we sent all of our materials to the youth and so we were just wondering... Oh, it's the winning eggs would be okay. Oh. You know, because pathogen transmission of this thing is really not well understood. I know this sounds a little ridiculous, but I'm not sure I'd even go there. I mean, that implies you've been on a poultry exhibiting eggs. Oh, okay. And maybe, Jerry, that would be a question you could go back to Susan. Yeah, it could be. We need to address that rather than leaving us in limbo here. If I was totally... If I totally understood the transmission thing, you know, maybe this is a lower risk, but still just it implies that somebody's been on a poultry operation and we're going to come together from several poultry operations. And apparently this thing is quite contagious, easily transmissible. And so for me, this is still a risk. So, but I can visit with Susan's office on the egg deal. Angie, thanks for bringing that up. I would have been remiss in not talking about it, because for obvious reasons it is at least indirect contact, which is a lot we don't know about this shit. Great girl. This is a question for Jack and some of the other agents out there. What does your 4-H curriculum look like in terms of biosecurity? I'm just wondering, so, you know, you're talking about cancelling shows and you're talking about doing that. You know, you turn lemons into lemonade. This could be a wonderful opportunity to convey a message about the importance of biosecurity to the youth involved in 4-H projects. And I just don't know if there's anything like that out there. Miranda and I have visited, and yet really there is not really anything written down. And so I've asked that, you know, some kind of a fact sheet be kind of penciled or drawn up so that we could have it for our youth. I know we'll probably be discussing it at livestock camp. And I think Jerry can probably discuss that because he's going to be there. And so there really isn't anything formally written down. And most county fairs, I can tell you that they do not have any biosecurity issue, anything in place, especially in the sense of like foot baths or anything like that. I know that our fair, we have hand washing stations at every barn and I know several of the others also do and I know state fair does, but there's not such a thing as a foot bath. And we need to make sure we encourage our youth not to use each other's equipment. Excellent point, Jackie. I would agree, this is Leisha, I would agree with what Jackie just said, but I think for me, one of my biggest concerns is more of what the leaders' attitudes towards biosecurity is probably a little bit scarier than what the 4-Hers are because they seem very laid back about it and, oh, don't worry about it. If something happens, we'll just take care of it, although they don't really want to put much in place. And so coming up with an idea of maybe a way we can ease into something like that or at least putting together a basic checklist of things to think about, I think would be really good for the 4-Hers program. Thank you, Leisha. Anyone else? Yeah, this is Craig. I have no problems with any of this biosecurity stuff, but what's concerning to me is I guess I don't understand it completely. I'll be honest with that. So they don't bring their poetry to the fair, but obviously they live on a poetry farm. They come to the fair. Can it spread to other things? Is there any issues with that? And the second thing that State Vet or somebody is going to have to do and this is going to get touchy is all these petting zoos that come to these fairs. If we're going to shut down the poetry shows, we probably don't want chickens in the petting zoo, and I know a lot of them have them. So how far do you want to carry this? And if we're going to go as far as saying agents can't respond to calls on-farm visits with poetry, that's fine and dandy, but we better have some backing from somebody saying that we can't do this. Otherwise, as agents, we're going to be in some confrontational situations I can see. Well, first of all, never said not to make visits is to be very aware of the biosecurity. Any other things on visits does it require an on-farm visit? If it does, certainly do them. As we talked about in previous training, if you can do one-farm visit a day, don't do multiple poetry in one day, change the clothing between and boots and use the garbage bags to put your exposed clothing in so you can wash them and clean them up before you hit the next one. Those are the things going on. Craig, also the risk of cross-species transmission, of avian influenza, it seems to be confined strictly to birds and poultry. It doesn't seem to be, you know, and I'm saying this not knowing all the answers, okay, but there doesn't seem to be risk for other species at the present. Now, just between us, this crowd here, influenza is a virus that can mutate and can change its spots, but right now it just seems to be a bird and poultry issue. You brought up that, Craig. There's lots here to think about and was the reason I added this to the agenda last minute this morning, just thinking about potential challenges and thinking past just our own 4-H program or our producers, petting zoos and what have you. And anytime you have a grave concern in the perceived, there are certain things that are perceived and people start jumping to conclusions so we want to keep everybody in the know. I hear then that we want some form of an update on biosecurity. I think it would be appropriate to have all extension specialists involved in that, authorship in it, not only for their own credit, but for the technology that all the industries are thinking about and continuing to remind people of importance of biosecurity. Another request related to this, anything else you'd like to bring up for the good of the order, take this opportunity, blocked off an hour for the day and we certainly don't need to burn up an hour, but I want to allow time for some other conversation. Dr. Johnny? I would just say, are you going to recess the drought meetings now for a while? But that doesn't mean we don't want to come back on another issue. That was the next item on the agenda. And my question to you is do we want to, at least for planning purposes, meet again in two weeks and of course we can always cancel it if it's not necessary or we can use that opportunity to address other topics that may have emerged. And I would guess that the biosecurity issue is not going to disappear with the drought. Any comments out in yonder hinterlands? What are the earliest fairs starting? Just kind of on a rough timeline of what are we dealing with here on the biosecurity, especially some information for the... There are some June fairs out there who has the earliest fairs. I know Botnose is June 11th. That's the earliest one I know of that I've been asked to help at. Yeah, they've traditionally been about the first county fair that I'm aware of. We talked about trying to get something else by livestock camp. So we can get it to kids there. And the data on livestock camp for everyone's benefit? It's the week of June 8th, I believe. June 8th. And that encompasses all species? Just sheep, swine, dairy. But there was supposed to be a rabbit and small animal event there as well. And so I'm not sure I haven't talked to Monique what her plans are. Well, I guess that would be next on your agenda. Thank you for making that contact, Jackie. Okay. Jackie, are you in your office today? Not till this afternoon. I have a range camp meeting here at 10. Okay. I need to visit with you sometime today. I'll give you a call later. Okay, Jerry. Okay, that brings us to the end of existing conversation. Last opportunity to bring up something of importance to the egg sector. If you have something you'd like to share. You'll have to look at the date. I think it's Memorial Day in two weeks. Oh, yes. On the screen. So you might just look at some. Yes. I haven't even opened the calendar yet. But somebody take a look at that. And the crops team call is on Tuesday morning. And the Hort is on Wednesday. Maybe. I can't remember. So you don't want to. Just something out there. When is the Hort calls? Tom Calv just put an email out this morning. Wednesday. Yep. Wednesdays? Okay. That's Hort. Hort calls Tuesday mornings at 7.50. So go for hour and a half. Okay. I just put us in a bit of a bind. Why don't you just back it to June 1st be three weeks? Three weeks? I think that's very. Tolerable. Anybody else? You don't have to affirm. I'm going to assume that's what everybody wants unless you see a conflict with that. The suggestion has been made for June 1st. Everybody okay with that appears? All right. So we'll make it June 1st. I hope we have nothing but good news to talk about on June 1st. All right. Well, thank you all for your participation updates. And of course, if something else comes up, so don't hesitate to share it with us. Anything else around the table? Seeing none. Last call out in Outstate. Anything? All right. Very good. We'll see you in three weeks. Thank you.
