Extending your fertility budget in a more trying commodity price environment.
00:00:05
I got Temple Roads and Chad Henderson here at Johnny Verell Field Day. These are extreme ag guys.
00:00:11
The product you've been talking about is Moneyball from our friends at Nature's. But really it's a bigger picture thing. All encompassing.
00:00:16
Chad, you can go first if you want money on fertility. Alright. Temple can go First. What the man, what the man say?
00:00:21
Show me the money. Show me the money. What does the late season do? We show you the money. Show you
00:00:27
The money you talking About. But, but I mean, it's more than that. Like this is a specialty product for a special time of
00:00:33
that, that crop cycle. We wouldn't Really call it a micronutrient pack, would we? No. 'cause it's, it's precise.
00:00:39
It's, it is it it it's a pinpoint kind of a deal. And you wanna put it somewhere and you want it to give you the biggest ROI.
00:00:46
So if you used Moneyball, let's say at the beginning of the season, it's loaded in Your favorite Product. It's
00:00:52
in Boron, it's about 6% Boron, 6.5 to be exact. So Where's Boron? Where would it, it give you the biggest ROI,
00:00:58
You know, we talk about a lot of times giving it bigger ROI when we would shoot that up into pollination into that.
00:01:04
But we're learning that, still learning that boron is used all through the plants, you know, in the first part of it.
00:01:09
You know, it's gonna be help with certain things. And then even at the end, I'm still using Brown silver, But, and I think you agree.
00:01:15
I, I think that we, you need to use that product probably at the, at the rear end in the reproduction. Yeah. Because we can get just straight Boron products
00:01:24
that'll feed us through in the, in the beginning. Yep. Come from the roots. Yeah. Come through the roots and go that way. You put
00:01:29
This stuff early on. Are you doing soil platters? It always a foliar. What? How do you use this for This? Is this, this what
00:01:34
we're talking about? Moneyball is always a foer. Always, you know, because it's got Molly in it. It's got some cobalt in it, got some copper in it, you know,
00:01:40
it's got these precise tools in it. We call 'em tools. Yeah. How Many times Nutrient, how many times did you put it
00:01:46
on? Early and late? Twice. This for me, it's gonna go on once corn, once beans. And You put yours on. Same
00:01:52
Thing. Just late. Yeah, just late. So what I do is, is the first pass that I make is, would be like R one, right?
00:01:58
So if I'm gonna make a pass at R one, my money ball's gonna be in there because I'm trying to front load that boron
00:02:03
because I want it to hold on to blossoms or I want it to, to add to the, the weight of the ear. Like there's something that I'm trying to facilitate.
00:02:11
It helps with pollination, it helps all, And you're trying to use the molly that's in it to make uptake.
00:02:16
You're trying to use the copper in it. That's going to be for like a fungicide, stress relieving type assistance
00:02:22
with a fungicide, I guess. You know there, well, You know what OL has in it. And people don't realize, you know, it's got kelp in it.
00:02:27
And with kelp that's a stress, mitigator stress. It should late season for heat. Right? Or,
00:02:33
but just remember there's certain periods of a corn's life, uh, you know, a plant's life that is stressful.
00:02:40
One is emergence and the next one is, is switching into reproduction. So it's going through that stress.
00:02:45
So that's why Moneyball has a certain fit in certain places, you know, and all the, all the products at Nature's,
00:02:51
I use 'em very differently and like as I go throughout the season, my quote unquote micronutrient pack, it changes up.
00:02:58
So I change, change some Moneyball and then I'll be in finish line and then I'll end up, I'll end up with Sideswipe.
00:03:04
Yeah. So mine is, mine is going to be, you know, a lot of that is gonna be sideswipe too early.
00:03:08
Right? Right. You can use it in a, in a ditch or something. And then we can come back and we can't forget.
00:03:13
My big one is, is throwback. Yeah. You know, I'm gonna use it throwback in maybe a two or two application or even in a wide drop.
00:03:19
But then my F is going to be Moneyball. If you're talking about soybeans, you know, R one to R three.
00:03:25
Yep. Soybeans is gonna be Moneyball because of the boron and the Molly. And like I said, we're just trying to,
00:03:29
Well, you go back and you think about what, how many times has our friends and guys that we've, that we've talked to all the time,
00:03:35
tell you that, hey look, we're not getting a return on our investment with this micronutrient pack.
00:03:40
Yep. Well are you using the right one? And that's what I'm getting at. That's have a specific place. That's
00:03:45
Question for each of you about this. 'cause obviously you're sold on this. We did a thing at your field day
00:03:48
where you talked about removing a bunch of dry. Is this start a same part of the same uh, concept removing spend on the dry preseason
00:03:57
and adding stuff throughout the season earlier. It's all part of the whole process. Has your spend stayed roughly the same budget,
00:04:03
stayed the same, just reallocation it? Well, it can't ever stay the same because we just run outta money these days.
00:04:07
We're looking at a $4 corn mark. It's gonna be worse than that. Spending less this year. We might take some corn. We might see some corn in the
00:04:13
trees in, in the twos. Man, don't say that. But I know we don't see it when A Three. Did you reduce spend
00:04:18
on fertility this year in your farmers? Yes, I had to. 'cause I seen what was coming. Like we hoped it wasn't coming.
00:04:23
But I mean, we have to have availability Products. Do you think you're gonna maintain yield?
00:04:28
Yeah, you're gonna maintain yield. You maintain yield. It's a system. It's a system. So A little bit harder work, but reduce the spend
00:04:34
and then at least stay solvent. Yep. Well here's the thing. You can spend it all up front
00:04:38
and know that you guys pay the fertilizer company, right? Or you can spend it as mother nature lets you spend it.
