00:00:00
So guys, we're here today. It's uh, it's June 18th. We're about seven to 14 days away from what we call our, our grower standard practice application.
00:00:09
Our rice just at, at hitting or prior to hitting. Uh, we've got a grower standard practice we put out that we feel like picks us up, you know, five to five
00:00:18
to eight bushels of, of extra rice. The last two years we've been adding a product from, from a CT activated carbon on top
00:00:26
of this grower standard product on top of this grower standard practice. This has gave us another double digit
00:00:32
yield increase in rice. One thing we've seen, you know, we, we struggle sometimes in corn
00:00:37
and struggling beans to get an ROI On some products, cotton and rice seem to seem to do a little better job.
00:00:42
So I'm gonna let Brad from activated carbon kind of explain to you what we're fixing to do.
00:00:47
It maybe something you wanna do on your rice farm. As we've been seeing, you know, like I said, double digit. We've been anywhere from 12 to 18 bushels,
00:00:55
two years worth of data. Uh, we went from a small plot to a larger acreage to this year, we're gonna go a hundred percent. Yep.
00:01:04
So what, uh, who we have at activated carbon is essentially just that activated carbon and the ability to activate solubilize multiple components
00:01:13
of a, of a carbon and a IC spectrum. Uh, we really focus on that technology, um, which is multiple modes of action as it relates to biology,
00:01:27
physical and, and chemical attributes. Um, in this particular case, we used a, uh, we built a nitrogen, potassium, sulfur and zinc source.
00:01:36
Uh, so the analysis is a 7 0 17 1% sulfur, and then, uh, 0.75% zinc. But the most important piece is 7% activated carbon.
00:01:46
So we've been looking at this product, like I said, for two years. We've been getting a five to one return.
00:01:51
You know, it's roughly how much an acre, Uh, it's roughly this. So this Particular application, Yeah.
00:01:57
So this particular application is a $20 per acre treatment at two gallons per acre.
00:02:01
Um, and, and you see in a five to one return on investment with that, um, most, in, in most cases,
00:02:07
I say our average use rate is about a gallon per acre. Again, it's, uh, very much about the yield environment. Obviously these guys are in higher yield environments
00:02:15
and they're really pushing the envelope. So where you're looking to get that, uh, that finishing touch on a, on a rice bean cotton
00:02:23
or corn crop, uh, depending on what stage you're at. But we, we like to give this very close to the reproductive stages where you're in high demand of,
00:02:31
uh, of nitrogen to finish that, finish that off as well as the potassium and the Corbin ratio to balance out that nitrogen and get it exactly where it needs to be
00:02:39
to build vomiting, build protein, and build, uh, test weight. There's been a lot of products we've tested over the years
00:02:45
to extreme ag. This has been one, one of our, our rock stars the last two years. Brad and I met in the airport
00:02:51
and just started kicking around some ideas. He don't, he don't probably like to say this a lot, but, but he, his, his, his customers owes the state record in,
00:03:00
in soybean yield in Arkansas. So that prompted me to say, Hey, what, what are they doing that we're not doing?
00:03:05
Uh, you'll see some videos later this year about different things that that happen with, with activated carbon.
00:03:11
We'll tell you what activated carbon is and the different ways you can apply it. A lot of fertilizer production, if not all fertilizer
00:03:17
that you rely more on. So guys, if you're thinking about any kinda application for your rights and you want it to do, you know,
00:03:24
you want an ROI on it, this is one that I would recommend. I could see a two years positive results on us.
00:03:30
Very positive results on us. And, um, you know, it's something we've, we've put in our grower standard practice.
00:03:35
We don't do anything grower standard until we've had a couple of years of doubt on it. 00:03:39.465 --> 00:03:41.485
