Will it Blend? Will it Boost Yields?
Kelly has been farming for nearly three decades so when he finds something new to try, it can get pretty exciting. This time he is Y-Dropping a solution of his Plant Food fertilizer with a mix of urea and water soluble potash. The mix has stayed in solution and now we will see what kind of yield response it delivers.
How to Mitigate crop stress by Making the plant think it is hungry?
The very dry season in western, Iowa makes it the the perfect year for really putting stress mitigation applications to the test. Kelly is doing just that with a new set of Y-Drops from 360 Yield Center and a solution Agricen's Extract. Kelly explains how Extract works to mitigate stress by forcing more root mass.
Hitting those Plant Triggers with your foliar
Kelly just finished his first foliar pass on his contest corn and is in the field with Tommy Roach of Nachurs talking about what is happening with the nutrient demands of his v6 corn as it battles the 100+ temperatures. They also discuss the specific plant triggers that can have a dramatic effect on the growth of the plant.
Bands of Fertility
Dan is out on his contest corn at around v5-6, laying bands of fertility using his Y Drops and a few Nachurs products.
Wheat Head Scab treatment
Lee talks about a new treatment he is using to prevent Fusarium head blight (head scab) from damaging his wheat crop.
Is Chad using the correct Spray Tips and settings for his next fungicide application?
Chad talks with Nick Fleitz , agronomist for Pentair Hypro about the spray tips, patterns, droplet sizes and coverage for his upcoming fungicide application on his R2 soybeans.
Y-Dropping Corn
Dan is a big fan of y-drops and their precision delivery of nutrients right alongside the stalks. He talks about what he is applying in this 360 Yield Center Y-Drop application.
Soybean Population Trials and Stalk Rot Prevention
Heavy residue in Kelly's no-till environment can lead to Physoderma stalk rot. In this video Kelly talks about the trial he is doing with BASF's Veltyma™ to prevent stalk rot from setting in. He also discusses the soybean population trials he is conducting this year and the foliar application he is delivering using a mix of products from TEVA Corporation, AgXplore and Hefty Naturals.
Faster Sprayer Clean Out
Lee shows off a new sprayer clean out kit from Pentair Hypro that significantly reduces the time and labor needed to flush out his sprayer.
