Sprayer's pulling in the field. Here we're putting out the concept agritech trial. We're putting out cow boar,
00:05
and then we're gonna come back with 2020. It's an interesting trial for me because, uh, we always need calcium.
00:11
And so here we're going out here. These beans are anywhere from R one to R three, depending on the field we go into.
00:17
This is also the same spot where we got the rotational grazing, things like that. So I gotta help 'em get in here through, uh,
00:23
and amongst the cows and stuff. But, uh, it's always an exciting trial for me when calcium is involved
00:27
because, uh, that's, in my opinion, one of my number one yield penalties. My expectations on this trial are
00:33
to really adjust the calcium, and of course, Chad Henderson will be happy we're addressing the boron.
00:39
But I can tell you that in looking at our SAP samples, we're short on calcium and, uh, we, we need to get it out there.
00:46
We're even considering now based on a book that Evans is reading and I've been researching when weeds talk, when you are, uh, when to short on calcium,
00:55
that's when you have water hemp and thistles. I think every grower, just about across the whole United States would agree that water hemp is a problem.
01:03
You, uh, Kevin Matthews told me this morning on the phone that water hemps his biggest problem.
01:07
Water hemp is definitely our biggest problem. So now we're looking at if we address the nutritional needs, the nutritional imbalances of, if you will, of our soil.
01:16
And in my situation, calcium is the biggest nutritional imbalance we have, most likely, or at least one of the biggest.
01:21
If I can address that nutritional imbalance, not only will my yields improve, but I now believe that my wheat control will improve,
01:28
which is, uh, a pretty big accomplishment.
