00:06faber bean crop behind us. And yeah, we're very happy with how our crops are coming along this
00:14year. We're quietly confident. And yeah, so we had a little tiny bit of disease pressure early
00:22in the season and a few little grubs, but nothing out of the ordinary. And yeah, we're feeling
00:30positive. So we've got wheat and barley and some chickpeas also. We were going to do some canola
00:37also, but didn't really have the moisture at the time. But yeah, everything's looking great and
00:44we're feeling positive. We are so grateful for the opportunity to even have another crop
00:50cropping year. It's kind of not really in the ordinary where Walgett's usually the kind of

01:05to get into cropping again. Yeah, we're kind of, we're very aware of everywhere else. You don't
