00:00 A product to help you get more nutrients into your plants. It's all about nutrient uptake 00:00:03 and more efficient utilization of nutrients. That's what we're talking about at the Ligos booth here at Commodity Classic 2025. 00:00:08 Next to me is Nick Boden. Uh, no, this is not his gold chain. This is actually for demonstration purposes. 00:00:14 And then Katie Patterson with the company and Johnny Rell. You did a trial with this company's products last year 00:00:19 at your farm in Tennessee. What did you find out? Yeah, So last year we ran it on corn. We had really good results. 00:00:25 240 bushel, 250 bushel environment. We're seeing 10 plus bushel gains off of it. That's a great RRI for us, anything under about 150 bushel, 00:00:33 we're seeing closer to 15 bushel gains. So it all depends on the conditions that we were running in the crop 00:00:37 conditions that year. So it's How do I use this product? So for us, we were running this product infer on corn. 00:00:43 We were putting out infer. You can also go foliar with it. Uh, soybeans, we run it on soybeans also. We run soybeans. 00:00:49 It's an R three application for us. Katie, I bumped into you at, uh, another conference in Kansas City. 00:00:53 We talked about that and now we're excited that you're partnering with XT Extreme Ag. What do you expect to see at Johnny Verell in 2025? 00:01:00 Absolutely. Well, we're easily seeing anywhere from two to six ROI just like what you said. And really we hope that, um, crop resiliency, 00:01:07 whether we've seen all kinds of things where we're seeing flood or we're seeing drought, we're gonna able to help that, um, crop be more productive 00:01:14 and, and have more environmental, you know, stability. So, Nick, at first I thought you were trying 00:01:19 to do like the ag version of Flava Flav, but actually it's something else. There's no clock here. 00:01:24 It's just a bunch of balls and chains. What am I talking about? What's this all about? Yes, sir. And that could bring up the 00:01:28 next derivative for us, right? So we're a specialty solution provider. What this chain is about is it's a antiotic polymer 00:01:34 that SOIs is. So when we think about some of the cation in soil that are gonna typically get bound Yep. 00:01:38 Be inaccessible. Yep. Bring in our polymer, let's take advantage of 'em. Let's maximize the nutrients that are in our soil 00:01:44 and make sure that the plants get the health and the nutrients. Okay, So you, you're Showing people that are passing 00:01:48 by your commodity class and you're saying the problem is you got a lot of stuff that doesn't bind. 00:01:51 Is that what I'm hearing? You got it. And our product will help you. Yep. Bind. That's right. Yep. 00:01:56 But let's take it a step further flexible in that we can also be a food source as an amino acid, right? Yeah. So now we're chelating as well 00:02:02 as then feeding those microbes, benefiting that biome. Have you gotten to the point, like by the end of day two here, where you think 00:02:07 that somebody's gonna ask you a question that you're annoyed with, you might just take this chain 00:02:09 and kind of crack ones with it? Not one bipo. We're always on the lookout for it. I'm probably more the person that would do that. 00:02:15 Johnny, you're excited. You saw good results with it. How many acres you gonna put this on in 2025? All my corn acres are gonna get in furrow and our beans. 00:02:22 As long as we get weather throughout the year, we'll get our three application with it. All right. Before we hit record, you told me something you're excited 00:02:26 about because there's always this reluctance. It's biological space, there's a lot of new products out here. 00:02:31 There's a lot of enthusiasm. There's also, I Don't know, I'm apprehensive. Is it gonna work? And you said Yeah, they 00:02:36 Have a guarantee. They have a guarantee on corn. Now they have a guarantee on soybeans, Meaning bushels, But yeah, 00:02:41 they guarantee the products value. Yep, Yep, yep. If you don't get your money back 00:02:45 where you give you cash back on your corn and beans. All right. You name me catty Pat Katie Patterson and our friend Nick Bowden with Ligos. 00:02:52 If somebody watching this wants to learn more about the product, where do they go?
