I was honored when you called and got to out about this. I understand this has actually been extremely important to you, this is extremely crucial to much of our companies. The Amherst Chamber of Commerce is right here in the town of Amherst, however our membership spans 79 zip codes from right here to Rochester.
This team that you're going to learn through today is from a variety of industries across our area. Not every one of them are chamber participants, however it was necessary to us to ensure that we were all collected below today to review this, and what we've been listening to primarily from our organizations is the unpredictability the mayhem.

They're not mined in the United States in any kind of amount, so we depend on that. Those costs have actually risen around 30 percent in the last year.
They all either originated from Europe or Asia because the suppliers have bigger markets in those countries. Those tractors, and the components to repair the ones we presently have, have gone up 50 percent in the last year for anything we want to get out of Europe or Japan.
