As fertility costs increase, Kelly is adding the 

SelectShot

 system on another planter. He talks about the ROI he sees from a concentrated shot.

00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from extreme AG. We're here in the shop today and with Brian Benz of capstan egg. We're talking 00:06 about the cap stand eggs select shot system and why we're adding it to more planners last year. We were very impressed with the performance of it on our planner. We had it on 00:15 a 12 row 23 not only did the planner work well, but the system integrates into the command center and the tractor, there's not an 00:21 extra monitor in the tractor in another video. I talked about my brother-in-law Chad Gorham safe, 25 or 30% on his starter fertility because 00:30 of the select shot. Just making that that concentrated shot over top the seed as opposed to 00:36 the old fashioned way of dribbling it down the row. With today's fertility prices, we're adding it to our 324 roll planners and this system will have 00:45 an Roi for us in about a year and a half and we'll let Brian explain it a little more detail. 00:49 When Kelly's talk about an Roi the slug shot system actually saves you the minute. It starts planning C because every time we're putting a less amount 00:58 of fertilizer down, but the concentration level is higher than normal. I mean, that's basically the system does because of a 01:04 dose proceed application. You get less fill time on your planner. You keep moving down the road. So and that concentrated dose 01:12 is a great point. I actually had a neighbor ask me if it's enough fertility when the system is turning on and off rather than going all the way down the row. It's a 01:21 concentrated dose. So we're actually putting more fertility on the seat. Whereas the dripple down the furrow method. 01:28 That fertility in between the seats, you know, if the seeds are say six inches apart that fertility out there in the middle probably never 01:34 gets used or utilized a little bit of waste of money not there. But when you talk about a concentrated shot, we're actually getting more fertility on the seed than that we're away and we're 01:43 saving 30% while we're doing it great system, and I'm excited about it.
