Edgar, thank you. We could stay all afternoon answering these three questions. But okay, I will talk about our expectations. When we look at each sector, we're going into a harvest soybean with a market that is well adjusted in terms of inventory and demand. Any problems that we may have, will have an effect. We should have this year, a learning year is makes us concerned in the south of Brazil and in Argentina. So, the relationship between inventory and demand is so tight that any problem will have a quick effect on prices. When you look at corn, the sector I believe will recover the inventories only in the second semester of next year. In Brazil, we decided to have 75% of the production of corn is in the winter corn. The first represents 25%. We will increase the area that is planted and we may get to 28 million 30 million tons. But the great volume comes in the second harvest in the winter crop. So you have also new facts, I always talk about structural changes. We didn't have an importer of corn, like China three years ago. They used to import soybean not corn. So a great change in the production model in China. Sugarcane, a result of everything we saw the frost in the south and the loss of productivity in sugarcane. So, I believe that we will spend next year with the oil in good prices, this will guarantee a good price for ethanol, which is mixed to gasoline and also good prices in New York. Now, in terms of the company, we have been -- in the case of sugarcane, we don't have guaranteed prices. So we are working to mitigate. This year we're going -- we were careful last year. And we have to continue making our efforts. If we have to reduce the planted area, we will do it. So in terms of insurance, we have insurance in the south, but on the border it's very difficult to have insurance. In Paraguay, we have revenue from insurance. Gustavo can correct me $1,640,000 which we should receive in the next few months between September, October insurance money. We already made all the documents. And the third question, healthy cash. It's important for a company like ours healthy cash. We're always after good opportunities. I always reinforce we have an enormous pressure to allocate cash, but we have a responsibility also to make good allocations, good purchases. As I said you can expect that the next few months sale of land and certainly we will make acquisitions too. Acquisitions will be slower than sales where anti-cyclical. But we will have sale and purchase opportunities. The company will be very active on the in real estate and in operations working in a disciplined way. We see another year of positive margins. Discipline will be necessary. This will be very important.
