00:00:00
Alrighty. So we're out here. We've got a challenge this year. Stephanie here with quid, she was uh, kind enough
00:00:06
to set the rules, um, but not nice enough to be on my team. So I'm a little bit concerned about that.
00:00:11
But I do have Clay coming here with me and pretty sharp guy Illinois boy. But we got Chad Henderson here from Alabama.
00:00:18
He wanted to grow some good beans. I said, you're gonna have to leave Alabama. Come up here. This is
00:00:21
The only chance I'm gonna get to grow good beans. I can promise you that because I ain't figured it out at home.
00:00:25
So we got Johnny Verell right here from Jackson, Tennessee. Johnny does a pretty dang on. Good job out there.
00:00:29
I tell you if you ever go to, they Just had to come up here to see rain. Yeah. Yeah. Well I appreciate it
00:00:34
'cause last year everybody wants to know has your crops this year. I said they gonna be double what they were last year.
00:00:38
How you know, I said anything above zero is double. So we're good to go. Stephanie, talk to us a little bit about the
00:00:45
challenge that we got right here. And you, I mean you give a $50 is all we could deal with, but that, you know, in this environment
00:00:50
that's pretty economical, right? We did. So we're looking at a planter application off the seeds.
00:00:54
So like a two by two application for soybeans yield goal a hundred bushel and we gave a $50 per or budget.
00:01:01
So each one of these guys worked with an agro liquid expert and came up with a fertility program for that two
00:01:07
by two placement and we'll see, you know, how it compares when we get to harvest. So on. What I like was a was the capitalize
00:01:13
because we all know it needs K, we need to load the K up first. Okay Then we've been running down this calcium trail,
00:01:19
which you know, Kelly's talked about that before. We all know that if you look, all of us landed on calcium pretty hard
00:01:24
'cause we know the bean plants, you know what it needs on calcium side of it. So we're leaning on that. And then I went
00:01:29
with a big micro pack, you know, I went with most time it's a quart. I went with two quarts of micro 500 who's putting it on the
00:01:34
soil and I wanna get that those micros up and really going. So that was what I chose to get in my $50 range.
00:01:39
And like I said, we come in there like $49 and 98 cents. I remember me and Stephanie talking about it
00:01:44
and we just kept inching the micro 500 up to make my numbers work. But that's what we really like.
00:01:49
I'm gonna take these home with me. Yeah, they're outta your point. I got these, I can't pull 'em outta mine.
00:01:54
And mine went a lot of different, I used the calcium also but I also did spring up and you know it's just a MPK blend.
00:02:00
I came out here with some iron and some boron. 'cause it always seems like with us, especially back in Tennessee, borons always a big
00:02:05
beneficial nutrient be putting out for us. So I stayed under budget. I came in a little bit less than everybody else
00:02:10
but this is the only plot I know of that I was in that I actually put out more products than anybody I usually, usually
00:02:15
That is a good, that is a good point. So when we've done ours, potassium's always been the big deal here on my home turf.
00:02:24
And also with our high mag soils, we're wanting to make everything available and one thing we found is these fulic
00:02:30
and helix is a, is a really big deal 'cause we looked at our soil test levels and sometimes you just can't buy enough fertilizer
00:02:38
to replace what these emix and s can do because the minerals are in the soil. But we gotta get it so the plant can
00:02:43
metabolize and translocate it. And that's why I went with a higher rate of the fulic here and um, it's looking pretty good.
00:02:50
If I can pull a few more of Johnny's plants and um, and Chad's I think I stand a chance of, I think my plants spray.
00:02:57
I think my plants are in the sprayer tracks. Spray tracks. Very, they are sprayer
00:03:00
Tracks. Very possible. Well, We'll see what the results are Gonna be. Fun.
