5+ Years - Grower Standard Practice

00:00 So guys, we're here again today, or this year I should say, Matt Miles, Lane Miles, Miles Farms. 00:00:07 We're doing a lab for XtremeAg with AgriLiquids. We've done several series of labs in the past few years, and last year we did a challenge lab against a couple of guys, and this year we're just 00:00:18 doing a straight foliar lab. So one of the cool things about putting foliars out on cotton is we have multiple applications 00:00:26 because of insects. So we'll go over this crop, excluding herbicides, we'll go over this crop just for insect control or maybe even just plant growth regulator. 00:00:38 We're looking at five or six times. So fitting four applications in here is not a real big deal. What are we doing on the four applications, Lane? 00:00:45 Yeah, so we're going to start at first bloom, and then it'll be staged throughout all of our picks timings through there. 00:00:52 They won't be just back to back to back. We'll stage it through the crop. But looking at Sure-K, Liberate Calcium, Boron, and Micro 00:01:00 500. Starting out with Sure-K, Liberate, and Boron, that'll be in all of them. And then in the last two applications, adding in that Micro 500. 00:01:09 So just taking advantage of all those different applications and then split them up, trying to spoon feed this crop as it goes. 00:01:15 So we're putting the Micro 500 out during the best peak time of the demand curve- That's right 00:01:19 ... for the cotton. We always start our foliars at pre-bloom because that's when we start, or right at bloom because that's when we start with insecticides 00:01:27 at that point. So it'll be a good trial. Last year was probably some of the highest yielding cotton we had, so we're very excited to see what happens this 30 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:41.559
