Hey guys, it's Temple Roads with XT Extreme Ag. We're here doing our first organics trials. So I'm kind of excited about this 'cause I, I've said
00:08
before, you know, we're trying to break down that cover crop and we're trying to, you know, stimulate the ground.
00:14
We're trying to add biology. I kind of feel like here in the Chesapeake Bay where we're already du having reductions of phosphorus
00:22
and nitrogen, you know, basically, 'cause we have to, um, this is kind of going to add to us. So I did it in two piece parts. So I used the product.
00:31
They've got two different products. One I used to break down. I, I just freighted on my cover crop
00:36
and I'm gonna break it down. Well, I, I went in and I put it on when I burned it down on that cover crop. And I'm gonna test that and see how that's gonna do.
00:46
And now we're going out here and we're making a post application this time, um, after we planted the crop, after the cover crop's dead.
00:55
Um, and we're putting it on this time, so we kind of wanna see like, which one works better. I'll show you. So here we are.
01:03
This is what this cover crop looks like. Um, there's some clover in here. It's not quite dying yet. Uh, the rest was just wheat.
01:10
Um, so it's, it's fairly thick out here. So I'm really interested to see how quickly we can get this stuff to break down.
01:19
And the more, and we've got checks out here on this farm, uh, multiple checks where we didn't do anything.
01:24
We just, we just sprayed it and killed a cover crop, planted it like normal practice would be.
01:29
So we're trying to see what kind of biology, what kinda life we're gonna add to this soil. And then we're also trying to see with the fall product of
01:39
how much nutrients we can get out of this cover crop and get it back to in our soil profile for this next crop coming.
01:46
But I'm excited about it. I can't wait to see what happens.
