David gives us guidance. We had a clear-cut 10 years ago. We had nine bids from $60,000 to almost $200,000. If we had just gone in the middle, say $100,000, you see how much money we would have lost.

Somewhere in this time, I joined the Weyerhaeuser Company Tree Farm Family Program, and they gave me technical advice that was good.
