Preparing Now Matters

| Have we run out of time to prepare at this point, Rick? | |
| What do you think about preparing? | |
| You know, I started telling our people probably 15 years ago, maybe longer. | |
| I remember I began in earnest after we bought this property and started fixing it up. | |
| That, you know, there was still time. | |
| I said back then, if you just buy an extra couple of cans every time you go to the store, put it away or a bag of rice or something, you'll be good. | |
| But as time progressed, I started feeling like we better be buying a whole, you know, maybe a case of canned food and stuff like that. | |
| And now I think it's pretty urgent that we get enough food and have food stored to actually provide for months for those that we need to take care of. | |
| And I, you know, we've been encouraging our people all along, think of your neighbors too. | |
| Maybe you can't take care of the whole neighborhood, but you can help some. | |
| And we don't want to just look out for ourselves. | |
| This is going to be harvest time, and people are going to be desperate, but they're going to be our brothers and sisters. | |
| And we've got to help them. | |
| But we're still right now pursuing increasing our stocks of everything and doing it with a whole lot more earnest. | |
| But I think there'll be some parts of the country where it doesn't touch as much, doesn't affect. | |
| There'll be somewhere it's just total devastation. | |
| And if you don't have the food stored, you're not going to survive. | |
| And if you do, you're going to be the target of many others as well who didn't set aside whatever. | |
| But now's the time. | |
