Hi, this is Kelly Garrett. We're here in the warehouse today at at the Integrated Ag. We're starting to get products out, we're making plans,
00:06
making preparations. One of the products we'll be trying this year is Ethos Elite.
00:10
From FMC, we plant a lot of conventional corn. We plant a lot of double stack corn. We try to stay away from triple stack corn
00:18
because we feel that there's a yield deficit. So we've used Ethos xb, the older version of this product for many years this year.
00:24
Gail uh, our friend at FMC sent us Ethos Elite, and I was asking him, said, well, what's the difference? Why? Why did you change the product?
00:31
Ethos Elite compared to Ethos xb, the older version has a dual biological strain and it's a little easier to handle
00:38
and mix with other products. We should have a better mixing process, which will just make it going into
00:42
the planter that much easier. The rates are all the same, the weights are all the same. The insecticide portion is the same,
00:48
it's just the bio fungicide portion to help with root development. Things like that is what they're talking about.
00:53
So I'm gonna try this, this year, see what it's like. Uh, new product from FMC. I'm pretty excited about it
00:58
because like I said, we put insecticide in every field because of the ROI we see on that. And anytime that we can try to upgrade that help out
01:05
with the root portion, the benefits that this bio fungicide will bring us are always things that I like to trial and check out.
01:11
It's always about process improvement.
