Yes, I do. I have 1,200 farms. The other thing is, I have people in those areas who don't have cars. There are not buses and things like that, so again, they don't have the transportation or the means even to get out to go to, let's say, a bigger town in my district to go seek mental health help. We have to do more to have more professionals. This is not the time to cut back. When you think about just the stresses of living today, we need to have resources available for our students and even our veterans, our farmers, people who we named that are suffering from various things that are going on right now.
