INHUMANE HARVEST MEANING HOW TO

So we focus on the small farms, we got a lot of seed, lot of fertilizer out. And you know, when they lose something, it's a little bit harder for them to recover. And we focused on farmers that 500 hectares or less, because I think the smaller farmers oftentimes have a harder time getting financing, keeping the financing. Just describe, to me the importance of that donation to what you're saying with the adjustment that's taking place in order to what to plant?

I mean, that's directly where you're involved with the foundation, trying to understand how they mitigate the impact of this? BUFFETT: Well, of course, we've supported farmers in a number of ways in terms of providing equipment, so they can harvest, so they can plant fertilizer seeds. So I think there's been some adjustment over the last six months, but of course, it'll still have impact. So they've already slow this process down to a very minimal pace. And that's had a big impact last October, they're shipping around the 4.23 million metric tons in May, in June, they're shipping about a little bit over a million metric tons. So Russia has already used the inspection process to delay the shipping of grain. But you know, last October, the daily inspections were at 11 or recently, they're down to two.
