-: I don't think there's a particular background.
I feel very strongly that for farming
and for entrepreneurship
It is a,
it's a personality type.
It's a, and it's not that there's only one type
that can do this successfully,
being that there's, it's, it's more about who you are
than what degree you have.
It is so much for me about the person.
We feel like we can train someone who wants to learn
to do the things that need to be done.
I'm looking for in a resume
things that show you're a self starter.
So maybe you made your own venture,
maybe you have a self directed study,
maybe you've done like ten internships,
and you basically already work in the real world,
and so I don't need to hold your hand
through understanding how emails work,
and that kind of thing.
Really practical skills are what we're looking for
but also coupled with the passion,
because we can work with someone of varying skill levels
to bring them up to where they need to on skills.
But if you don't want to be there every single day
then you're not ready to work as hard as Ben or I work
then we're gonna have trouble,
and we're gonna have issues.
And that's not a particular skill.
That's not a particular thing that's on the resume.
I mean the job description says positive attitude,
ability to work quickly with a sense of urgency,
and generally passionate about hops.
So those are what we're looking for.
I do this work so that I can be proud of myself
at the end of it.
I don't do this work for the money.
I don't do this work because I get to drink beer at work.
Right? I do it because my own individual ambition and pride.
I want to do good. I want to be successful.
I want to create this valuable thing for the state.
