Temple Rhodes has noticed a big difference in his corn field over a matter of just 20 rows. One area has green foliage below the ear, and one doesn't. Same field. Same hybrid. So what made the difference? 

00:00 Well, we're gonna talk for two minutes here and we're gonna talk about what we have here. So we went over there 00:07 with 12 13 14 rows, whatever and we talked about he highly said you ain't gonna believe this there ain't there's no foliage over here. 00:16 So compared to the rest, we're gonna go and look at the other one. Now. These ears are still nice is dry land corn and we're 00:22 not trying to tout big yields or nothing. But I want you to take a minute and look at one the plant Health this stuff is maturing like 00:31 crazy, but take a look down that row you can see a hundred yards down it real. Well, I'm exaggerating but you can see a good 40 or 50. 00:41 There's just no foliage out here. So what does that say? Does that really do you do we want to talk about stress mitigation because here 00:51 at the end this one here guy stressed out and we're gonna go over here. We're gonna take a look at this other side and I don't think we're gonna see the same thing. This is the same variety guys. It's just 01:00 the way we applied a certain product again. We talked about it in an extreme egg all these different things where we 01:09 talk about we talk about we're finding out certain stages where to put certain things. Have we 01:15 figured something out stay tuned. We're gonna find out so here we are over here on the other side. We are exactly 20 from exactly 01:25 the other spot. We're 24 rows back from where we were This is fully into the neutral charge plot. That was not any Nutri charge. 01:36 In the planter place. This is neutral charge that we put in the side dress which little touch of phosphorus mainly 01:45 like a 28 double O five bunch of micros. We ate a neutral charge to it because we were interested in putting it so 01:55 There's a huge difference between the two and I don't know what we I don't know if we figured out anything. It could be nothing attributed to yield. We don't know that yet 02:04 but taking the lift difference of the foliage just take a look down. Look down that row. You can't see as far with green. This is obviously 02:13 probably higher moisture maybe a little bit. It might not be we don't know but what we do know is We definitely have a healthier plant. So maybe some 02:23 of the stress mitigation goes back to plant nutrition getting the right start. Maybe feeding it out throughout the whole year. Maybe it's spoon feeding 02:32 these products in and every product that we put on every fertilizer pass that we make maybe it's just driving it into the plant stay tuned guys 02:41 more stuff from an extreme ad coming soon.
