Farming Podcast | In-Season Tile Drainage Strategies for Better Yields

00:00:00 New ideas and tile drainage. That's what we're talking about in this episode. Recycling water, helping out the neighbors, 00:00:06 and also putting in your tile right before you put in your crops or right after. Yep. That's where we're covered 00:00:12 in this episode of extreme Ag. Cutting the Curve. It's extreme ag cutting the curve podcast, cutting your learning curve, 00:00:19 and improving your farming operation every week. This episode of The Cutting the Curve podcast is brought to you by BASF, creating innovation 00:00:28 to help farmers do the biggest job honor. And now let's get ready to learn with your host, Damien Mason. 00:00:36 Hey there. Welcome to another fantastic episode of Extreme Acts Cutting the Curve. We got a good one for you today because got one 00:00:41 of my favorite people to interview. He's Lee Lubers Gregory, South Dakota. And if you're watching this, you'll agree with me and him. 00:00:49 He just gets better with age like fine wine. Anyway, Lee is doing some cool stuff and we are joined by our friends from a DS. 00:00:57 We got Cole Wrath and we got Tim Dahl with a DS. They're in the tile drainage manufacturing business. And uh, Lee just put in a whole bunch this year. 00:01:05 So he is done two things that are really pretty novel. One you probably think, yeah, I can put in drainage tile. I'll do it right after the crop is harvested. 00:01:12 Somewhere in November. We'll wait until the end of the grounds firm. People where I live in Indiana, a lot of times put in wheat. 00:01:17 We're not a big wheat state. They do it just specifically so that they can get in there in July 00:01:21 and August before harvest. Uh, and before they're busy doing their other stuff and put in drainage. 00:01:27 Well, Lee didn't do it that way. Lee went in and put tile in right at time of planting. Yep, that's right. At time of planting he did that. 00:01:34 He also is gonna talk about some recycling and repurposing of water, uh, and some cool stuff he's doing. 00:01:40 Uh, did they not give you the memo, Lee? You're supposed to do it in the off season. You're supposed to put in tile drainage in 00:01:45 January, November, February. The more tiling we do, the more we love it. We're just trying to come up with as many ways 00:01:54 that we can incorporate it into our operation. So we keep doing it every year. You put it in, in the springtime, 00:02:03 basically at time of planting. Um, I can see that being a problem. Could see crop damage. I can see there being, um, settling of the trenches 00:02:12 and making it so you can't harvest. I can see a lot of problems with that. No. Uh, last year we went in, uh, we had a field 00:02:20 that had notorious wet spot and we needed to deal with that on the hillside to then do a grid below it, down to a creek bottom. 00:02:29 And we had soybeans, man, they looked good and we're like, the tile plow is here. Let's do it. I've seen people do this online. Let's do it. 00:02:38 You know, if we lose a little bit of crop, we'll be okay. We were amazed how little crop we lost. 00:02:44 Uh, we actually spaced our grids. We could run a 40 foot flex head between the grids and we tiled in the first week of September, 00:02:55 cut the beans in October, ran between the tile lines through all the grids, and then came along the top and clipped them. 00:03:03 And out of 10 acres, I don't think we lost 10 bushels. And then we went and lightly hit those lines, uh, knocked 'em down just a little bit, settled it in 00:03:15 and we seeded winter wheated into it. And this year, in July when I was desiccating winter wheat, I could look across on the other side 00:03:24 of the creek where that was done. And for years I'd always look over and just be upset. 'cause like, drown it out. Acres just not doing good. 00:03:33 We were losing production. That side of the creek was just perfect. We had over a hundred bushels, a wheat there 00:03:40 by doing in crop tiling in September. We're just more motivated to do it again after that because we didn't lose really anything for our soybeans. 00:03:49 And then we already started gaining in the first year with our wheat crop. We got a a a big cost offset there. 00:03:56 We already got a big benefit in the first year. Uh, you guys are in the business. Cole, Tim, I don't know 00:04:03 where you guys are from South Dakota. That's the other thing. Most people in South Dakota, west River, South Dakota, 00:04:09 they don't really need to do drainage tiles. They don't use enough precipitation. Lee is proving that wrong. 00:04:15 Um, do you, do you hear about people doing this at time of planting? Uh, this is, Go ahead, Tim. 00:04:24 Uh, this is something, uh, that brand new to me, uh, to do it right before planting. I mean, generally we get a little, I'm, I'm from Minnesota. 00:04:34 Um, we get a little bit of a spring season. Um, some guys will do in crop tiling, uh, mid-summer. Uh, most of the tiling gets done, 00:04:44 like you said at the beginning, uh, Damian, uh, post-harvest. So, uh, this is really exciting, uh, to hear 00:04:52 what he's doing here. Lengthens the season a little bit, a little, a little less time sensitive 00:04:57 because, uh, you know, the tile drainage people are always, they, they want something to do, you know, 00:05:03 they're like going, they're doing like, uh, you know, odd jobs or, uh, residential areas or something like that. A lot of times during the spring. Cole, 00:05:11 I think, you know, I I cover Western Iowa and Nebraska, and when you talk about drainage tile in Iowa, I mean, people have been putting tile in 00:05:21 for years and years and years. And I think in Iowa it's more receptive maybe to put some tile in, in the spring just 00:05:28 because they know their contractors are, like you said, uh, looking for something to do. 00:05:34 Um, but I think in Nebraska especially, um, guys are not real excited about doing spring tiling and I think compaction is the biggest thing 00:05:45 they're, they're worried about. Yeah, that's it. That's probably accurate. Um, well, did you have a compaction issue, Lee? 00:05:54 I mean, you're coming out of winter, you still got winter moisture in there. You, you know, did you, did you notice any damage? 00:06:00 No, the, uh, alls we saw was a benefit, uh, in, in that spot where we did it in the soybeans in crop was just always just has been a bearcat every year. 00:06:13 And, uh, we, we harvested it. We were surprised how much it dried up that area in one month in the time between tiling it in crop 00:06:24 and combining it, and then we seeded through it a hundred percent and then we raised a great wheat crop on it. 00:06:31 Yeah. So, uh, you said you're going to continue, you started putting in drainage tile just a few years ago and now it's your new thing. 00:06:39 Are you the only person in your neighborhood that's putting in drainage tile? We've had people actually stop driving down the road 00:06:46 and look at what we're doing. They, they're like, what is that? People sitting uptown? And I explain to 'em and, 00:06:52 and they'll ask it like, well, does it pay? It's like, yeah, that's why we keep doing it. We're on our fourth or fifth year 00:07:01 and, uh, we just keep doing more of it and getting more creative in how we're doing it. So when we have our crew here doing this, we can line up 00:07:10 as many projects as possible. Right. So we ma everybody maximizes their time. Yeah. Yeah. That, that's, that's the biggie also. 00:07:18 So anyway, how many acres did you put in this, uh, this last round? Uh, let's see, probably in 00:07:29 excess of 450. So since we've started this, we have cracked 3000 acres that we have, that we have, uh, improved our drainage on. 00:07:40 Whereas we like to term water management because that's what we're doing. Uh, we're taking problem areas 00:07:47 that frustrate us and we lose yield. And with the tile, we're getting equilibrium. So the soil's evening out, biology's going up, 00:07:55 yields are going up, tilt is better. So yeah, we've learned that water management is very important 00:08:01 and we are West River, South Dakota. Yeah. Right. So the aeration effect, uh, that's the other one. I think Tim and Cole, you guys are out here in the field. 00:08:11 There's obviously, right now it's a tough time economically, uh, you know, to be justifying expense. 00:08:17 But we see things I put in drainage tile here on my farm. And, um, beyond just water management, there's, to, 00:08:26 to Lee's point, there's the soil health part of it. Um, you're, you're, you're getting better aeration, uh, you're, you're creating, so, you know, 00:08:34 to eliminate compaction, there's all that kind of stuff. When you go out and talk to people that are newer to this, 00:08:39 like, uh, in where Lee is, where a lot of tile drain has not been historically as opposed to where I am, where it's been doing it here since, 00:08:47 you know, a hundred years. What do you talk about? What do they, what do you tell 'em? Do you tell those things right there? 00:08:52 Do you go to the economics? Do you go to the soil health? I, uh, I, for, for me, um, I, I think you start 00:09:00 with the economics. I, I think the soil health, um, is a discussion. And, and again, coal, 00:09:06 and you can, you can correct me on this if I'm wrong. I think that soil health is something that we've really started to talk about maybe 00:09:12 in the last decade. I think the economics of it is, is kind of where it always starts. 00:09:18 Um, generally the biggest, uh, what I'll say the, the biggest deterrent is the economics. So pe well, I, I just can't afford to tile. Mm-hmm. 00:09:28 And, and so I think that's where the discussion starts. We've really seen an uptick in that, uh, in that soil health discussion here lately. 00:09:37 And I, I it's such a valuable part of, of such a valuable benefit to what you get, that, uh, it becomes more and more of the discussion every day. 00:09:46 And again, we, we, we like the term, we, we, we try not to use the term drain tile. We try to use water management. 00:09:53 So I, I think what Lee is spot on. Cole, what do you think? Yeah, I, I agree. 00:09:59 I think obviously economics is, is top of mind. I mean, that's, that's where everybody goes first. Well, am I gonna see a benefit? Am I gonna see a return? 00:10:08 You know, what does that look like? But I think there's still like, especially new areas, and I would consider, you know, South Dakota, uh, even parts 00:10:18 of Nebraska part, you know, fairly new. I I think there's still a lot of education that needs to happen around drain tower. 00:10:27 'cause you go to a farm show, I'm sitting in a booth and a farmer comes up, why would I, you know, why would I need to get rid of water? 00:10:35 I, I, we need the water. You know, and I, I, I just think that there's so much more education that needs to happen out there 00:10:43 to educate the, the average grower. Like, well, you know, this is why you need it. And, and I, I just think that economics is, 00:10:56 is yes, important, but education and really understanding what we're doing with the water on that field is, is still needed in a lot of areas. 00:11:09 Uh, Lee, when I first started with, uh, XtremeAg four years ago, you talked a lot about earthworms and going out with your kids 00:11:17 and seeing the earthworm activity. And then that was an, an indicator of soil, uh, health and what was going on down under your feet. 00:11:26 And when you start looking, and I've been to your farm, and usually you do battle dryness. What things have you seen when you started this 00:11:36 on the first chunk of ground? What are you seeing now at the three year, four year type, five year later kind of a thing? 00:11:43 Because results aren't always immediate. What are you seeing on the ground that you first tiled? Well, uh, a yields go up 00:11:54 vastly for us. We get the, we get the payoff economically, and then, uh, we're noticing 00:12:01 that organic matter levels are shooting up unusually fast because again, we've fixed the soil 00:12:08 so it can function again. And then also in those areas of that kind of a, You said organic wait, you're, 00:12:14 you're seeing organic matter increases in five years? Oh, yeah. We're just seeing huge increases. We can't believe how fast. 00:12:24 Well, well, it's really good soil. It's good, it's really excellent soil for our area, but it was waterlogged it, it couldn't function. 00:12:34 The, the, the microbes, they couldn't proliferate. Earthworms weren't able to do what they do. We noticed our earthworm counts just keep going up 00:12:44 and up in areas where it had almost a stale smell. Waterlogged even some salt issues. Now we have tons of earthworms there. The tilt has changed. 00:12:56 Uh, yields are up. Organic matter going up. I mean, for us it's a win-win. We're taking areas that kept, 00:13:03 when we look at the yield maps, it was pulling down yield. Mm-hmm. Now it's bringing the average up. 00:13:08 Mm-hmm. Yeah. So first off, I think a lot of people, I I always point this out if you're, if you haven't listened to any past episodes, I sat in on an agronomist a decade 00:13:17 or so ago who's, uh, supposedly knows what he's talking about. And he said it was impossible to change organic 00:13:22 matter in our lifetime. And Lea seeing it happen in five years should also point out Lee is very non, uh, non tilling. 00:13:30 Right. You, you're pretty much a no tiller. Um, and, uh, this probably actually helps into that because then the moisture issue, one 00:13:39 of the leading reasons people say they do so much tillage is because of, uh, they think that's water management, right? 00:13:46 Yeah. I mean, that's the thing. I mean, we're in an area's like, yeah, you don't want to waste your water. 00:13:51 We're not, we're getting better utilization of it. We've taken areas where it's water logged and we're getting ponding and yield loss. 00:13:59 And basically you, you're working with a living sponge. It's an ecosystem. And, uh, when it can't function properly 00:14:07 and you don't have good drainage, you throw everything outta whack. Well, we're bringing it back in. 00:14:12 We're bringing it back in and getting everything to working the way it should be. And that's where we're seeing all the 00:14:18 benefits that are happening. All right. Benefits. I'm gonna go to the other guys. By the way, there's a person right now listening to this 00:14:24 that says, Hey, you guys need to admit the elephant in the room. Um, my cost of production is greater than the market price 00:14:32 for soybeans, probably even for corn, wheat, any of the major commodities. How can I justify doing this? 00:14:39 So gimme the economic pitch, Tim. Uh, the economic pitch is in a, even in a down market commodity prices are tough. 00:14:47 You gotta get every bushel you can, right? I mean, you, you know, that's, that's really the crux of it. You know, listening to Lee talk about all 00:14:55 the other benefits. Um, I I, I, I'd be interested to see what he's seeing, uh, in his, in his other, you know, is he, 00:15:03 is he using the same amount of fertilizer? Is he, is he, is he seeing any other cost benefits as far as inputs? 00:15:09 Uh, that might be part of that discussion, but, um, it, for, for us, when, when that question comes up, it's, well, you, you still gotta get every bushel you can, 00:15:20 it, it doesn't matter if it's $3 or, or, or $6. You gotta get every bushel you can. Got it. Um, all right. 00:15:28 So you're doing some other cool stuff. You're managing water and not just, 00:15:35 not just putting it down to the Missouri River. You're putting it in holding tanks, dugouts, as you call them, in that part 00:15:42 of the world, the rest of the world. That's a baseball term, Lee. But in any, anyway, you and your part of the world dugouts, 00:15:49 basically retention ponds, sort of, you're doing that for wildlife for one of your landlords. 'cause they actively hunt, 00:15:56 which is very popular in South Dakota. And you're doing it for your neighbors, for livestock. Um, tell me about that. 00:16:04 Uh, last year we came up with the idea, uh, on a property and we talked to the landlord and they were all for it. 00:16:12 Uh, they are big into hunting, but yet, you know, you've gotta add food and water. Well, with the food plots and the grass areas 00:16:20 and everything, plenty of food. But water was a real challenge in that piece of property. And they said too that they're 00:16:27 losing pheasants because of that. And so we came up with a plan, uh, had hodgman drainage come out, the company that we worked 00:16:36 with on tiling, and we laid out a plan, did all the measuring, and uh, basically we had a real problem area that, uh, 00:16:45 it was really good soil, but we had a real struggle getting it farmed. So we put a pond, 00:16:50 they dug out on one end and one on the other. And we tiled in between. We have filled the ponds and now we're farming through it. 00:17:00 And in one year we're already getting really good yields every other year it's a place you couldn't get a planted 00:17:06 or else eat a floater if you're trying to spread fertilizer. It was a bearcat. 00:17:11 Now it's just like, it's just beautiful ground to farm. Landlords are happy. The ponds are full. The deer and the pheasants have plenty to drink. 00:17:18 Uh, we've noticed the wildlife's not leaving there. Like in other years you'd see the pheasants hatch and then they disappear by fall. 00:17:27 Part of them, it's the most amount of the pheasants I've seen in that place since we started farming it 00:17:33 probably 12 years ago because of that. They have water now. They have a, they have a good water source 00:17:41 By the way. Uh, after the pond's full, then I assume there's got, it, it drains somewhere down onto a 00:17:46 drainage ditch or something like this. Yeah. Uh, one we do not have an overflow tube on, and it seems to be working on the other one. 00:17:53 We have an overflow tube and there's a small C creek behind it, and it runs down the C creek. 00:17:57 So it's an added benefit of all the wildlife downstream. Yeah. Good. Did they pay you for that? 00:18:05 Did you, did you get the neighbors to pay you for that? The wildlife, Wildlife on that one, we worked together 00:18:10 with the landlords and we did a cost share. It's a long-term investment. It's a win-win. It's not just for us, it's for our kids and grandkids. 00:18:18 And they're in it like us. Same philosophy, it's, uh, a family legacy. So they were all on board in that. 00:18:25 Uh, we are in the processing of coming up with a plan with a neighbor, another neighbor, uh, that we border, that we get along good with. 00:18:35 And they run cattle right to the south of us. And we have bought 20 acres. It's really tough to farm. And we're coming up with a plan that, uh, we, 00:18:45 and we're getting all the paperwork in place where we, we can tile and then pipe it through their land over to a creek and dig another bug out for them. 00:18:57 And then that way they will have a good water source for their cattle in that quarter for their calving out and overwintering there. 00:19:04 Uh, because right now they have to rely on piped in water from a rural water district, and there's a cost to that. 00:19:10 And here they could have a nice big dugout with cool filtered water right there for their cattle. So, uh, we're coming up with a plan there 00:19:18 where it's a win-win for everybody. They get water for their cattle, and we get to improve our crop land 00:19:27 Managing and recycling water. Cole, you said before we hit the record button, it's something you wanted to make sure you touch on. 00:19:32 Yeah, I think there's gonna be more of, there's gonna be more of an issue. Um, and also I think that when we talk about managing 00:19:38 and then recycling, I think there's gonna be more of a, um, microscope on how we handle water and agriculture 00:19:46 because, uh, the people in the suburbia and the people in towns are starting to realize that, um, sometimes we've done some things. 00:19:52 We, we've, we've, we've done some things that are no-nos. And so I think there's a, I think there's a growing lot. 00:19:57 Just like, uh, when Tim said there's a thing about soil health, I think it would be about water. How we handle our water's gonna be very important. 00:20:04 Yep. I, I totally agree. Damien and I, you know, water recycling comes to mind first. I mean, when, when Lee's talking about these dugouts and, 00:20:14 and retention ponds, um, I think in the next 10 to 20 years, the, the future is going to be wa more water recycling, retention ponds, you know, 00:20:27 tile runs into a pond and then reusing that water to irrigate in sea, you know, in season. 00:20:34 Um, and you know, when we talk about water quality, uh, there's a huge, uh, push in Iowa anyway for, um, you know, reducing nitrates and, 00:20:45 and water, um, you know, water control structures and, and there's a huge push for, uh, you know, uh, saturated buffers and, and bioreactors. 00:20:58 And, um, I just think that how drainage is, is looked at and used today is gonna be totally different in the 00:21:05 next 10 to 20 years. Yeah. And there's accuracy in that. Um, that's the one thing we didn't talk about Lee. 00:21:14 Um, what about doing these ponds and then pulling water back out of 'em? Come, uh, come July, August, when, when you need it? 00:21:22 Is that in, is that in the offing? Uh, we're actually talking to another landlord on that currently because the topography of the ground, 00:21:32 it's hard to get the water away from it. So we are looking seriously looking at building a retention pond 00:21:40 literally in the middle of a quarter. And then either do we look at a pivot or do we look at something like, uh, rain 360 00:21:48 where we get the machine and it runs it? Uh, is that gonna be better efficiency yet? Uh, I agree with what they're talking about. 00:21:56 It's how we view water and recycling, recycling it. Yep. And better utilization of it. That's gonna be huge for even for us out here. Yeah. 00:22:06 I mean that could be, that could be big for us. I mean, we're off the alala aquifer. It is not feasible for us to dig a well for pivot 00:22:15 with You can't get to one. Well, this could be a way we could get into irrigation. Yeah, yeah. 00:22:22 I mean you're, you're saying it's either prohibited because of regulation or it just wouldn't be feasible to even get a well 'cause it's too deep. 00:22:29 What's the, or is it because of Yeah, uh, we're off the aquifer where you can't, a lot of places you can't fight in the vein. 00:22:36 Uh, and you couldn't get enough to pump. I mean, there's no way you're gonna get to 500 gallon or anything like that. 00:22:44 You're not gonna get a good Well, yeah. So this is a way where you could go during peak water usage times in the middle of the summer. 00:22:54 We could go and effectively, you know, we don't have to irrigate the whole season, just a certain window. And if we could, and we think this could be possibly 00:23:05 a low cost way for us to get into irrigation. Interesting. So by the way, you saw your different methods. 00:23:14 If you're putting this in the middle of the field, you got some other infrastructure to think about, you gotta get electricity to it, 00:23:19 or is that, that's the concern, right? You're, you're pretty rural. Uh, you know, power is not an issue. 00:23:26 I mean, there's just things we have to look at all the variables, but, uh, uh, yeah, I mean, it's something to explore. 00:23:33 I mean, uh, like I said, every year we just keep getting more bolder in the ways we view tiling. 00:23:41 Like before it's like, well, we don't wanna do in crop tiling now that we, we did it, we've done it two times and it's worked great. 00:23:48 It's like, why wasn't we doing it sooner? I Think been around for a couple of days, Lee's doing some pretty cool stuff. 00:23:58 More of this, more of this is gonna happen. More of these, more of these kinds of things are gonna happen. 00:24:04 We've had more people now in the last two years coming up and talking to us about it 00:24:09 because they're seeing it on our ground. Yeah. Seeing that it works. Uh, there's a people that are in shock that's like, well, 00:24:16 we're too far west, but they're not really looking at it. They're just driving by from uptown. 00:24:22 But we've had other farmers come and approach us and it's like, Hey, next time the crew's there and you're in here doing stuff for you, you know, 00:24:30 we have a spot we'd like to look at now if they could come talk to us. Now, those conversations are starting to happen. 00:24:38 Uh, I see more tiling happening in our area that's not gonna be related to us. Yeah. Good. So what's the next, uh, 00:24:48 by the way, Tim, I asked you a question. You just sat there and looked at me. I said, are you, are you seeing these kinds of things? 00:24:53 Are you seeing more of what Lee's doing? Oh, Absolutely. I, the, the, the really intriguing thing about listening 00:25:00 to Lee talk, um, I used to cover the north half of South Dakota when I was a sales rep, um, for a number of years. 00:25:08 And you get down around that Watertown area, you get up into northeast, uh, South Dakota, and almost the number one objection to tiling is, 00:25:17 I don't have a place for the water to go. Yeah. And, and leaves the, the dugout idea, right, is generally, you know, sometimes it's hard to get farmers 00:25:26 to give up a little bit of ground to, to, to dig a dugout, right? But this is, this is such, uh, uh, 00:25:34 creative thinking, right? Uh, ways to, uh, uh, to, to make not only the tiling help the grower, but but, but, but help kind of the broader picture. 00:25:45 So, uh, I absolutely see more and more of this, uh, happening. Um, it certainly is, is our focus. 00:25:54 Um, like I say, we, we, we really love the term water management. We want to try to reuse those, that water resource. 00:26:01 We don't want to just send it downstream and, and, uh, um, uh, in my spare time, I'm sending over Lee a a job application. 00:26:09 I'm hoping he wants to come be a sales rep for us. So Just, just, Just listen, listening to him talk. I Thought maybe you wanted to go to work for him. 00:26:17 I'm gonna sit, go to work for him. I like, I like it up there. I may Just wanna come, I I may just want 00:26:22 to come hang out on his farm for a while just to get, just to see what he's doing. So yeah, 00:26:27 Well have him to send you a video from, uh, any day in January or February when there's, uh, when, and there's a 40 mile an hour, 40 mile an hour wind. 00:26:37 And he has to use, he has to use his 250 horse tractor with a loader on it just to get, just to get to the road. Amen. Amen. Yep. Full. 00:26:46 So the person that's listening to this, okay, first off the, there's no off season. You can do this in season. 00:26:50 So what do I need to know if I wanna do this in season? Is there anything that you learned, you're like, oh crap, you messed up the first time. 00:26:56 If I wanna do this at type of planting or in season, is there anything I need to know that you like, learned the hard way? 00:27:03 We have not experienced any downside in any of our tiling projects yet. Okay. Obviously get a good contractor that knows 00:27:11 what the hell they're doing and then lay it out and, and, and figure out how to can work within your cropping system 00:27:15 and your timing, et cetera, et cetera. And then as far as, uh, keeping the water on site, uh, like I said, Tim's point, you're giving up a little bit 00:27:24 of land, but probably you can make that work. And then obviously you're, you're making your other land more productive, 00:27:31 so you didn't see a big negative to that. Uh, the one interesting thing I forgot to mention, the two dugouts that we placed on 00:27:39 that landlord's property is where they had two grass strips that they used for hunting. 00:27:45 So no production was lost, no farm ground production. Yeah. And so it was a definitely a win-win for everybody. Got it. Uh, coal last thought? 00:27:56 You're getting ready to say something? Nope. I last thought is, uh, I appreciate you having us on. 00:28:03 Um, you know, I think the future of, uh, uh, water management is, is for forethought for, uh, everybody at a DS 00:28:15 and I appreciate lead trying some new things out and, and, uh, appreciate you having us on. And, uh, anything else, 00:28:23 If I wanna learn more about, if I wanna learn more about, if I wanna learn more about a DS products, where do I go? 00:28:27 Yep.

His name's Cole Wrath. He's joined 00:28:41 by Tim Dahl from Minnesota and our man Lee Lubers up in Gregory, South Dakota. I'd say swing by and visit him if you get by there. 00:28:48 But, you know, uh, unless you're going to shoot pheasants, there's just not a lot of reason 00:28:53 to be going through Gregory. And that's a great place. I liked it. Gotta, it's got a great big old 00:28:58 concrete pheasant there in town. I took a picture with you last from Us through. Maybe I need 00:29:01 to bring my shotgun with me then. Sounds like Lees helping it out. All right. Till next time, if you enjoyed this 00:29:07 episode, share it with somebody. It can learn from it.
