Yeah. You bet. So as Harold alluded to, we have class three Colorado River water rights, and there are eight different classes throughout the system, which start with the American Indians, the government, and then third is ours, which are original generation farms that were formed in the early to mid-1900s. Following that, subsequently, four, five, six, seven, eight, you have Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, Las Vegas, California, and all of the Western states that have their piece of that pie. It was recently, as we have all watched Lake Mead in the last two to three years with all of the drought, federally mandated that one-third of the water needs to come off the river and getting everyone in the green. So everyone has been in the back room, all of the federal, state, and local agencies paired with local agricultural growers and commercial water users. And I think as you mentioned, that water conference last week was a big step forward. We were not there, but we did hear a lot of it. And a lot of the people that were working negotiations that we are thinking about contributing our water for the better good of that were going very well. Now 12/31/26 is the deadline when everybody needs to agree, which means everyone needs to agree before the summer starts. And, you know, as we see, it is obviously raining in California, and it is about to rain a lot more. And sometimes that makes people complacent. But the water values that people are talking about just, you know, sort of in the back rooms have been double per acre-foot of the current fouling programs and allowing more use of your total acreage. The one part that we are very conscious about is the social aspect of it and the conserved nature of the water. So not just walking away from the water and the community, like, for example, Yuma, Arizona, where we have farmers and jobs and local communities. Part of the whole plan will need to incorporate that. So really going to, as an example, a low-use water crop like agave where you can still have jobs, you can still have economies, and then also have, you know, the rest of those that need, whether it is California, Arizona, or other Western states, to have that water. So I think the answer is yes, yes, and yes. There is going to be a deal that is going to need to be done. People are starting to come to the table and agree. And they will be at higher values.
