Good morning, everyone. It's a pleasure to be with you today on our first conference call. It's been about two months since we completed our successful initial public offering, and we are making progress. We know as a new public company, results matter, and building the confidence and trust of shareholders is critical. So how will we do that? By delivering on our vision and connecting the agriculture ecosystem through acre and revenue growth, by showing discipline and holding ourselves accountable, by being innovative with data insights, and by spending your money wisely. I am pleased to report that Q1 2021 was a solid start to our journey. We delivered more new acres than in any previous start to a calendar year with over 2 million high-quality new acres. This bodes well for future revenue growth. So looking ahead, I am confident that with the vision, expertise, and drive of our motivated senior leadership team and support of our major shareholder, Fairfax, that your company is positioned to create long-term shareholder value. I'll now turn the call over to Wade to discuss some important business developments.
