Farming Podcast | Cotton Trials & ROI Fertility Strategies

00:00:00 Whatcha gonna learn at the field days from extreme Ag in 2025. I'm gonna tell you 'cause we're talking 00:00:04 to the Miles Brothers of McGee, Arkansas in this episode of extreme Ag cutting the curve lessons you can apply 00:00:10 to your farm to help you farm better It's extreme. Ags cutting the curve podcast, cutting your learning curve, and improving your farming operation every week. 00:00:18 This episode of The Cutting the Curve podcast is powered by Nature's bio kay technology delivering enhanced nutrient 00:00:25 cycling, greater plant health, and elevated stress mitigation leading to increased crop yields. 00:00:30 Visit nature's dot com. And now let's get ready to learn with your host, Damien Mason. 00:00:37 Hey there. Welcome to another fantastic episode of Extreme Eyes Cutting the Curve. You know, we got field days, every one 00:00:42 of our guys doing a field day, seven field days. There's gonna be in 2025. The second one on our calendar is gonna be in the Delta 00:00:48 region, or little Vietnam, as Mr. Miles likes to call it. Matt Miles is joined by us on lane miles 00:00:54 and we're talking about what we did last year. But more importantly, what we're gonna do this year. If you come to their field day on June 12th in 00:00:59 McGee, Arkansas, what are you gonna learn? What are you gonna see? A bunch of our business partners are lining up to do work 00:01:04 with us trials plots. And again, we're gonna take these lessons home. The cool thing about working down in Arkansas, one 00:01:10 of the few places, in fact, the only place you'll see cotton trials going on, so Matt Miles 00:01:14 and Lane Miles, um, you've been doing this, came to it last year, it was a big deal. Secretary of Agriculture from Arkansas was one 00:01:21 of your speakers the evening before. We always do a special event for our VI for our our members Extreme Ag members were invited the 00:01:27 evening before to meet with our industry professionals and the extreme ag guys. Then the day of June 12th, 00:01:33 what are we gonna see when we're in Arkansas? Yeah, so we've got, you know, something new this year. We were, we were actually looking at 00:01:40 possibly doing cotton and rice. Um, there's not a lot. There's so many few acres of rice that we kind of scratch the rice plot 00:01:46 because there's a lot of our partners in different people that are not in the rice industry. 00:01:50 Very limited amount of herbicides and stuff there. So, but cotton is still a worldwide product. So, you know, cotton's a new thing for our, our field day. 00:01:58 It'll be neat. Some of the people that come from different countries. I think we were represented 00:02:03 by eight different countries last year. You know, we had someone here from eight different countries. 00:02:07 So, you know, cotton's not on everybody's doorstep. You see corn beans every day. If you're driving the United States, 00:02:13 very limited amount of cotton. You gotta be in the Delta and Southeast or maybe in California to see that. 00:02:18 So that's probably gonna be our showcase this year is, is the cotton trials. I I like that whole idea that we're gonna see the cotton. 00:02:24 So there's a challenge plot we're doing with Aggro Liquid, one of the premier sponsors there. 00:02:29 And the challenge plot was done last year at your place where Kelly Garrett from Iowa and Galen and Stephanie from Agri Liquid. 00:02:37 And you each did a prescription and based on your recipe, your prescription, your timing and your product mix, you applied the stuff on these plots 00:02:48 and then you actually measured the output. As I recall, you didn't win your own plot. Uh, a woman from Michigan did better on the plot 00:02:58 than you did explain. Yeah, exactly. Uh, well we, we did a few extra things on Iron that they didn't do. Uh, one thing, the reason why I think the, what, 00:03:09 what the big takeaway was for, for Lane and I, is the fact that they use less nitrogen. You know, we've been, we've been talking about this 00:03:16 a lot in extreme Act for the last two or three years. Are we over applying nitrogen? What does that do? A lot of time that adversely affects other micronutrients. 00:03:24 If you got too much nitrogen out there, then something else will go negative. You know, you've heard the word too much of a good thing. 00:03:30 So what we've seen last year is we did lose the plot. Now there was some things that went on in my plot that, that I didn't explain because I don't wanna be a whiner. 00:03:38 So, but they were all then two or three bushels of each other. What was cool to us is they used less money on nitrogen 00:03:44 and they made equal or more yield than we did. So that was a big takeaway for Lane, you know, open lane's eyes as well as mine also. So the 00:03:52 Neat thing if you're listening to this is, uh, you know, you go to these field days and every seed company has 'em. 00:03:57 It's the same story. I've been working 'em for decades. They put you on a hay wagon, they drive you down to the plot and they show you variety number 365 dash B. 00:04:05 And then they tell you, oh God, it's a race horse. 'cause every, every seed variety known to humans has been a race horse for the last 10 or 20 years. 00:04:11 And they all have a test weight of 62 to 64 pounds, and they all make 300 bushels, et cetera, et cetera. It's largely BS at our field days. You see some cool stuff. 00:04:21 These guys are not too, not afraid to admit that there might be a better way. What was cool about the plot last year, the challenge was 00:04:28 that they all made about the same bushels. It's just that the dollar mix of inputs varied. And the reason Stephanie won was 00:04:36 she didn't get the highest yield. Am I right about this? She got the highest actual net, net dollar amount based on applied nutrients. 00:04:43 So she used less dollars applied and, and got maybe a bushel or two less, but it so much was, uh, 00:04:49 came out in the actual net return. Yes. And that's what it's about. That's what the check you take 00:04:55 to the bank is what it's all about. That's the neat thing about our plot too. We have our checks 00:05:00 and our checks are what we call local grower standard practice. So it's what the normal guy would do 00:05:06 in the Mid-South to his crop. And then you've got these added, added plots that will either be more stuff added to 'em 00:05:13 or less stuff in the case of the agri liquids where they use less nitrogen, Uh, grower standard practice by the way, is gonna be, is 00:05:19 that the, the stuff that we're applying from your retail company, advanced ag products? 00:05:23 No, that will be an additional plot. So what that will be is a little, so really here in our area, 00:05:28 you've got three levels in this field day. You've got the local grower standard practice, which is bare bones, you know, 00:05:34 what do you gotta have to make a crop? Then you'll have an, an advanced ag plot that will have a little bit of stuff at R three, uh, 00:05:41 you know, a little bit of folders and stuff done. Then maybe at R five, and then you'll have, in this pacific bean plot, 00:05:47 you'll have the natures program, which is a lot of what our a a P program is as a natures program too. So you'll have two similar plots 00:05:55 and then a plot of what a guy would do if he had a very limited budget of what he could spend Lane. And 00:06:01 you're, you're a younger guy. And so in the future, I keep saying this, we're gonna use less applied nutrients, 00:06:08 particularly synthetic fertility, uh, one year, 10 years, 20 years from now. And you're gonna look back when you're the same age 00:06:14 as your old man and me, you're gonna look back and say, God, we really did overuse nutrients. I would like to have some of that money back. 00:06:21 Did last year's challenge plot drive that point home? Yeah, it, it did to me because I, that's kind of what I was sitting here thinking 00:06:28 about just a minute ago is, is just say 10 years ago, you know, we were looking at, at 1.2, you know, units of nitrogen, maybe 1.3 units of nitrogen per bushel of corn. 00:06:41 So we were putting well over, you know, right around 300 pounds of urea out, you know, just, you know, spreading it out somehow. 00:06:49 Even with going liquid, using more efficient nitrogen, we reduced nitrogen that way. We, we reduced nitrogen, you know, using other products to, 00:06:58 you know, help, help with the aid of that. And watching what we did last year looks like we can go even a little further than we than we did. 00:07:07 Uh, so just seeing what we've done 10 years ago to now versus now to where we might be in the next 10 years. I mean, I think, I think that's just gonna continue to drop 00:07:15 On the challenge plot by the way. It's gonna be, uh, three of them. Uh, you're teaming up with everybody's teaming up 00:07:21 with an agro liquid personality and an extreme ag personality, right? So there's three teams. Yeah. Kevin Matthew's on a team. 00:07:26 Kelly Garrett's on a team. You're on a team and each of you get a an agro liquid person to help you. 00:07:31 That's right. And and when Kelly beat me in corn should have been a given because he is from Iowa. If Kelly beats me in cotton, 00:07:38 I'm in pretty serious trouble. I'll just tell you that I think maybe it might be the perfect opportunity to do the handoff. 00:07:43 Then you say it's time for you to branch out and farm in Arkansas. You hand over everything and you just go and retire. 00:07:48 You and I can golf and uh, handle our, handle our retirement together. That sounds like a pipe dream, 00:07:53 but I'd love to see that happen. All in all honesty though, we're doing fo years. We've got a certain amount of money to spend. 00:07:59 Uh, this one will be a little tricky, but a little simple, you know, I mean there's only a certain amount of products here we can use. 00:08:05 Probably everybody's going to use pretty close the same products. Uh, so they should be fairly similar. 00:08:11 Uh, you know, just hopefully there'll be someone goes outta the box and does something different. 00:08:15 But what we'll have is a check there to see if, if these inputs that we're putting out there really make a difference 00:08:22 By the way they're doing. If you're listening to this or watching this, everybody gets $50 of budget for fully applied, 00:08:28 uh, fertility products. So that way they can't just break the bank. And more importantly, the good thing is if you're an extreme 00:08:33 ag member, you'll get the results of these trials like you always do. If you're an extreme ag member for seven $50 a year, 00:08:38 you get the results of all trials that these guys do on their farms at the end of the year. And also if you're an extreme mag member 00:08:44 for seven 50 a year, you get invited to the evening before the field day at each of our field days where we always have a little reception, uh, 00:08:50 with the extreme mag personalities and the companies as well as you. And you got the son over here cooking for that too. 00:08:56 So he's a pretty good cook. He Is a pretty good cook. So I'm gonna be down there and I want you to be there 00:09:01 as well, but let's talk about the rest of the stuff. Nature's gonna be doing some stuff on cotton as well. This is cool because again, we can talk about corn 00:09:07 and soybeans all day long 'cause everybody has 'em. Cotton. What are you gonna see with nature's? What are they doing different? 00:09:12 Uh, you'll see some different foliar products put out at different times. Okay. Uh, to try to enhance the, the, 00:09:18 the growth of the bowl. So you got a four lock bowl, a five lock bowl, you know, there's gonna be different products going out, 00:09:23 similar products on the, on each plot. You know, there's only, there's only a certain couple types of different potassium you can put out on cotton, plant, 00:09:30 cotton needs, potassium, you know, so there's some of the things are gonna be similar, but some of 'em are gonna be different too. 00:09:36 Lane, are you the one that puts all this stuff on? Uh, last year we did quite, I did quite a bit of me and dad, you know, this year, uh, Jacob is gonna be here 00:09:46 to help us just kind of be able to keep that in a little bit more of an order to where we can kind of manage some of the stuff that's going outside of that. 00:09:54 Uh, but to add on to what, what, what you just asked on dad on the cotton, the one thing I think that you'll see in the cotton trials, 00:10:01 and, and I only say this 'cause even today with, uh, Keith, our guy in a a p going to kind of, you know, selling 00:10:08 and talking about different cotton programs is in furling cotton. And a lot of people won't do that 00:10:13 because afraid of cotton burn. Mm-hmm. And it will, if you choose the wrong products, do the right thing or use too much. 00:10:20 That's one of the things that guy told him yesterday. Like, I, I don't know. I'm doing that. I don't wanna burn my cotton. Well we found through some 00:10:26 of the products that we're using, um, which are a lot of, uh, with concept ATech and nature's and, 00:10:32 and we're not burning cotton. We're not seeing any kind of injury and it's really, really working towards our advantage. 00:10:41 Yeah, that's good. By the way, you know, one thing that's cool when we said are you taking lessons from the field day and applying it to your, all your acres and lane? 00:10:48 You said your dad said everything you do at your field day, you're already doing on most of your acres. 00:10:53 Right? For the most part. I mean, and that's kind of what's cool is is some of the things that people are still researching, 00:11:00 that we're still researching ourselves. We're all kind of still working on some of the same ideas. Now we may change products 00:11:06 or use different things to see if we can't save money, get cheaper or, or find something a little better. You know, we're always looking for that. 00:11:12 But for the most part, what's being shown is things we're doing or currently have done tried or something like that. 00:11:19 Being in nature is you're doing something on soybeans with them also to appeal to the masses because everybody grows soybeans except 00:11:26 for our friend Kelly Garrett does not grow soybeans. His field day follows yours. You're doing yours on June 12th. 00:11:31 Two weeks later we'll be up in northwest Iowa June 26th. He says he can't make money growing soybeans 00:11:37 and you, the southerners all hard timed him, but particularly Matt Miles hard times Kelly, which I enjoyed watching 00:11:44 'cause you said, how can you not make money growing soybeans? You're doing a separate challenge up at his field day 00:11:47 and it's based on who can grow soybeans and be the most productive or profitable on that. Yeah, that's true. And what Kelly 00:11:53 and I have figured out on the corn, you know, he makes more money off corn. I make more money off soybeans. 00:11:58 Uh, you know, it's a difference in the yield. You know, he can be in his fleet and make 240 bushel, you know, we have to strive 00:12:05 and really struggle to make 240 bushel. You know, we make 70 to 90 bushel beans. I don't know that he's ever seen a 90 00:12:12 bushel bean on his farm. So, you know, the yield's what the difference is. And, and that's due due to the environment 00:12:18 that it that's grown in. Yeah. And so by the way, at all these field days, we always bring it back to the dollar. 00:12:23 So if you're coming to any extreme ag field days, don't be afraid to ask about money because we talk about money. 00:12:26 Farmers don't talk about money. We do it extreme ag 'cause we want you to make money so you can be here for the long haul. 00:12:31 And one of the things we do is always talk about the actual net on this. One of the reasons also, Kelly struggles on soybeans, 00:12:37 he gets a little less yield 'cause of the growing conditions. He's got great soil, but also remember 00:12:41 that great soil has a bit more cost when you start applying the cost of the acres, which is lot farmers do not do 00:12:47 mass farming cheaper and lanar farming cheaper because they're not paying the same kind of land prices they are up in Iowa. 00:12:52 I think that's one of the big factors also. Yeah, we, we have more insect pressure and we have more labor and 00:12:58 irrigation and they have more rent. When you, when we've done the numbers several times, it all comes out about the same. 00:13:04 We just seem to work harder than they do. Yeah, you do. So spray tech is gonna do something also on cotton. 00:13:10 What are we gonna see from spray tech? Yeah, so it'll be the same type thing. It'll be some infers, it'll be some fers. 00:13:15 The thing about spray tech that's really cool is they're low volume use, you know, so their products may go out 00:13:21 of five ounces instead of a gallon. So it's, it, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm willing, I'm excited to see this in the field also, you know, instead 00:13:29 of taking totes and putting 'em on our tenders, we can take jugs and put 'em on our tenders. So that's one cool thing about spray tech. 00:13:34 And another thing about spray tech cool in our area is we farm in the same type environment for in as Brazil as far 00:13:41 as the humidity, the insects and all that. So they're more geared to the southern farmer in my opinion, because they, the 00:13:47 where they develop these products is in the same environment that we are here in the, in the delta. 00:13:52 By the way, Elaine, your old man got invited to go to Brazil to hang out for nine days and get drinks bought for him from spray tech. 00:13:58 And who stayed home and minded the farm? Well, somebody's gotta stay home. So it was you, But you're the one who stayed home, 00:14:06 worked while he went and jacked around for nine days a year ago. Okay, I just wanna make sure I I thought that was the case. 00:14:11 Advanced ag products, we already covered them. That's your retailer. And that's gonna be basically the, the, the, that's the middle ground that's 00:14:17 between the extreme, uh, test we're doing with the other companies and grower standard practice, which is bare minimum, right? 00:14:24 So that's okay. Concept Agritech, a DS Ligos, crop X, John Deere via their dealership Ag up and honeybee are all gonna be there. 00:14:33 They will not have plots. What do we, what do we when we stop by and swing by and talk to these folks? 00:14:38 Uh, I know when I think about concept agritech, I thought that what we talked to them about at Commodity 00:14:42 Classic was pretty cool. The guarantee they actually put their money where their mouth is. 00:14:47 So, um, you wanna speak to that? Yeah, they've got a, uh, kind of a, I forget what they call the name of it. MVP, what 00:14:54 Is it? MVP. MVP. So what do they, That's the acronym. Acronym and it's something durable pricing. Yeah, so, so what they do is if you'll, if you'll lock in 00:15:03 with 'em early, they'll basically, uh, they, they get options on, on some money and they guarantee you a price. 00:15:11 So, and if the, if the commodities goes down and you're in this program, you get a rebate back. If commodities goes up, you don't get a rebate, 00:15:18 which that's what you want to happen. It's kinda, it's like insurance. You buy any fire insurance on your house, 00:15:22 but you never want to collect on it. So it's the same type scenario, but it does, they did step up to try to help the farmer. 00:15:29 Uh, we use a ton of their products. They're not actually in here as a plot, but we use a ton of their products in 00:15:35 our grower standard practice. So we're glad to have them here. And if you want me to just go 00:15:39 through the list, you know, that our, Our concept tech. The other thing is they've also been a sponsor 00:15:44 of our Grainery show. And I want to take this chance to make sure that you have watched our Grainery show. 00:15:48 If you have not, we've released like, oh gosh, 20 episodes so far and it's shot here at my farm in Indiana 00:15:55 at my on-Farm hangout. Matt Miles have been in several episodes. Eventually we'll get LA in some of these episodes, 00:16:00 the guy sitting around talking about everything from professional to the personal side of agriculture and everything in between. 00:16:04 It's a lot of fun. We invite you to pull up a chair. You can find the grainery at Extreme Ag Farm or on our YouTube channel. 00:16:10 If you're not a subscribed already, go to YouTube, type in extreme ag, remember that just x extreme ag and hit subscribe. 00:16:16 It doesn't cost you nothing. And you'll see our episodes there. We'd like to, uh, encourage you 00:16:19 to watch out Lane a DS, they're gonna have a booth there. Um, you've been getting more into the 00:16:25 drainage thing down there. You're like this, you're having some water. Do you encourage people to consider expanding their, uh, 00:16:33 field tile drainage? Uh, I mean we're still in, we're still in research stages that, that, that's hard to say, uh, whether 00:16:40 or not you should expand that all the way out or not. But, uh, I mean it's it's doing a good job draining for right now. 00:16:47 And, and we're just keeping an eye on it. Ligos, what do I need to know about ligos? I'm still learning. They're new, 00:16:53 they're new business partner. What do I need to know about Ligos? Yeah, We're, we're, we've got some plots out with them. 00:16:58 They've got some pretty exciting stuff. Uh, you know, they help with phosphorous uptake, different nutrient uptakes, uh, a little bit of, you know, 00:17:05 biological food, biologic biology in there as well. Uh, seeing some real good looking data on cotton. So, you know, that that's something that's exciting to me. 00:17:16 We've got ahead to get ahead against some other products that, you know, a similar type product. 00:17:21 So, you know, we're the jury's still out, you know, the data they've shown is, is really exciting. So that's the reason we have 'em. 00:17:28 Crop X is gonna be there. What do I need to know about crop X? Yeah, crop X is one co 00:17:33 It's a, it's a corkscrew with a computer module on the top of it. And you told one of your landlords that it was sending, uh, 00:17:40 sending information to the government via satellite and a guy named scared. That's not really what's happening, 00:17:44 but it is collecting information. Yeah, so it is actually a irrigation tool. It it measures your, uh, soil, water, what's in, you know, 00:17:54 what moisture's in your soil. It tells you when to trigger your irrigations. Uh, lanes actually work 00:17:59 with the Crop X Company more than I have. We've had water sensors in the past. They're trouble. They work half the time. They're hard to put in. 00:18:07 They're hard to take out. Lane can tell you more about this crop head sensor because he's 00:18:11 been involved with it more than me. Well, Wait a minute, lane, this is your expertise. Well, I mean I have worked with this a lot more. 00:18:17 Well you first off, if a person listening to this, if you've never been to McGee, Arkansas, every acre they farms irrigated and about has to be 00:18:23 because it gets a little bit hot down there. Uh, and they got plenty of water. Uh, in fact, right next to the field, half the field, 00:18:29 there's drainage ditches, there's swamps, there's bogs, there's ponds, there's alligators, there's poisonous snakes. It's a really difficult place. 00:18:36 Um, I I mean obviously it's, it's, it's kind of frightening to me. And I go there and then they, they tell me 00:18:42 that there's an alligator come behind me when I'm on camera. Actually it's, it's, it's 00:18:46 somewhat abusive what they do to me. But anyway, I do it because of my job. Crop X moisture sensors, we talk 00:18:53 to them at the Commodity Classic. They've got this big co crew looking thing. And it might be the next era 00:18:59 because moisture sensors up till now have been just a little bit more effective than walking across the field 00:19:05 and seeing how much mud sticks your boot. This might be the real deal. Yeah, I mean it, it's, 00:19:10 I mean we worked with several of 'em. It's the easiest, most user friendly, easiest to put in. Um, you know, you get on their website, you don't have 00:19:19 to decipher a chart That's unreal. Looking at, um, they, they do a really good job keeping it at, I guess to a farmer's 00:19:29 Level. Farmer friendly. Yeah, farmer friendly. Um, you know, I I I've been extremely, extremely happy. Extremely 00:19:36 Assume it ties to your smartphone and so you App based and web-based, I mean it's, it's the real deal, But it's very innovative. 00:19:45 It's a small, it's a small, you know, that's why my landowner asked me, he said, what's this bulb doing out in the field 00:19:50 with these flags around it? And that's when I told him we were monitoring his house and who comes in and out of his house. 00:19:55 But he, you spray over it, you can plow beside it. Uh, you know, these other ones you put in, you gotta spray around them. 00:20:02 So we're, we're excited about them. John Deere's good. John Deere's gonna be, and by the way, we did go back 00:20:08 and look at the Extreme Mag Farm site if you want to, and you'll see videos that we did at Commodity Classic where they explained the technology. 00:20:15 And that's really helpful 'cause then you can understand it. But the best part to Lane 00:20:18 and Matt's point is that this is moisture analysis that's simplified and it's gonna be a big thing because I don't know where you farm 00:20:26 'cause you're listening to this, you could be anywhere. I think the heat is gonna be on us to be better about utilizing water. 00:20:32 Water's gonna get start in the, in the future of agriculture. When Lane is our age, he'll say, oh my God, we were 00:20:37 so bad at, at monitoring water in the old days. We just took it for granted. And in the future it's gonna be looked at as an input, just like the stuff we buy 00:20:44 because that's where water is going. My opinion about the future. Do you agree With that little Matt? 00:20:50 I do a hundred percent agree with that. And that's, that's the reason for these. If we, you know, when you say we got plenty of water, 00:20:56 you know, we, we've reverted a lot of surface water to have more water, but we don't wanna be like the guys in Kansas and Nebraska and the water wars. 00:21:03 Uh, we've got some ACO fires that are very, very limited, uh, in our area now. 00:21:08 We don't need 'em to go away. So I, if irrigation ever goes away in the Delta, then I guess we'll grow wheat, you know, 00:21:15 in the winter that'll be about all we can do. So it's very right. And, and we don't need more wheat. 00:21:18 And you guys are, you, you guys are climatologically advantaged to grow certain stuff like for instance, rice, et cetera. 00:21:24 So let's face it, we we're gonna have more environmental scrutiny on the water and maybe we should have, that's 00:21:28 where something like Crop X John Deere's gonna be there, um, with, uh, your dealership ag up 00:21:34 and they might be profiling some new equipment. We don't know yet for sure. Yeah, We know that we're gonna have the combine there. 00:21:39 So we're gonna have the new series combine that's got the computer, the cameras that look ahead and actually adjust your combine from what's fixing 00:21:47 to come up in front of you. So it's kind of a look ahead camera that says, okay, you know, you're fixing to get in some 90 bushel beans, 00:21:52 you've been in 40 bushel beans. It's gonna adjust the, it's gonna adjust the speed and everything else to to, to most, 00:22:00 most efficiently harvest that crop. So that's something new. We got two of those machines that we're gonna run this year out of the six. 00:22:07 And so a third of our machines are gonna have that on there. They're gonna have 'em here, they're gonna talk about 'em. 00:22:12 Uh, it's gonna be, it's a pretty cool new advance that they have on this new combine. You're Running six, you're running six combines 00:22:18 at Mile Farms this year. And two of 'em are gonna have the new electrical setup and the electronics and technology setup 00:22:23 that is being displayed and demonstrated. And so at your field day, a person that wants to understand is a farmer wants to know 00:22:29 and get in the seat, they'll be able to do that. That's right. Now we won't be actually demoing a combine 'cause we're in the middle of the summer. Yeah. It's 00:22:36 Not harvest time, You know, to, to look at, But they'll be able to get their hands on it and see what it's all about. 00:22:42 Right? Yeah. We're not harvesting on June 12th, even down where you guys are. We will be by mid August, early August. Lane honeybee. 00:22:49 Did you Do your homework on this one? I actually did my homework on this one before extreme Ag was ever existed. All right. 00:22:58 Honeybee, Honeybee, uh, we've actually tried some of their headers. Um, the, the Draper header to be exact, one 00:23:05 of the 40 foot headers, um, turned out to be actually be a pretty good, pretty good header. The only thing that, that we, you know, we're, we're 00:23:14 on a deer roll, so it was a little bit harder for us to, to get one because of the role that we're on. 00:23:19 But as far as headers, I mean that's, it's a really, really good header. I mean, they're gonna have one there showcasing it. 00:23:24 So, uh, if you're, if you're looking in the, in the market for a, for a header, that's actually, that's, 00:23:30 that's one I would suggest look at. Yeah, we put it head to head. We put it head to head to some of the bigger boys 00:23:36 and the header's awesome. You know, it's a little more complicated like Lane said for us 'cause we're in a mud roll where we roll every year. 00:23:42 But, but I think there'll be some guys here that really need to take a look at that because it is a premier 00:23:47 header and good people. And, and then the other part then, if you are in a tighter farm economy 00:23:53 and you wanna make your machines go longer, you could maybe look at something like a new header to accentuate an older combine. 00:24:00 And probably it would and along with some electronic updates might just go ahead and give you a few more years, right? 00:24:04 Yep. All right. It's June 12th. If you are a extreme Mag member, if you're an Extreme Mag member, you're invited 00:24:11 to the reception the evening before on June 11th.

So next time, thanks for being here. Elaine, 00:25:38 I got a question before you hold this thing up. I know you're trying to cut it off. What about Della Rosa's Field Day? 00:25:44 We were just talking about it. You did not even mention that. I will be doing a trial with a company called Title Grow 00:25:51 at my field on the corner where they're going to bring their people and all of their employees and some prospective distribution, uh, to this field day 00:26:01 to see their new products. We'll be doing it on corn and soy. Technically it's not open to the public, it's open 00:26:06 to their invite only list as it's for this company that, uh, is, uh, new with Extreme Ag using products like Oceanic, 00:26:14 CFAs, um, and Germ Max, uh, seed treatment. So I'm excited about this. I might just have you come to it Lane 00:26:21 because I want you to come and show me. I come and monitor how you put on a field day. You can come up here and you can just scrutinize the hell 00:26:27 outta me, which you kind of do Anyhow, about the what else I do for Extreme Act, I mean, I'll Do it. I wanna caution 00:26:32 people to our field day just in case. Bring a pair of shorts and a t-shirt because it could be anywhere from 80 to 110 Heat index, 00:26:42 just depends on the day. Last year we got lucky it was cloudy that morning, but that's not always the case. 00:26:47 And I wear shorts all the time because I'm not a farmer. And as uh, Matt commonly points out, 00:26:52 I also put lotion on my skin to make sure that I don't cha So I'm telling you what, you know, what come and be pretty. 00:26:58 That's what I do anyway. It's June 12th that Miles Farms. You'll see the Miles Brothers there, Matt and Lane. 00:27:03 They're not really brothers, they father and son, but I just, I just, I'd call 'em brothers 'cause they just seem like they kind of almost could be. 00:27:08 Anyway, I'll be there as well. And, um, you might even be able to meet Mrs. Mason because she says she's gonna go and check out the Delta. 00:27:14 She's heard so much about it. Till next time, thanks for being here.
