00:00:00 Came out here today to kind of walk around and look at this corn field that we planted almost two weeks ago tomorrow. 00:00:05 And so this field here was uh, double crop soybeans and wheat last year. So we had a wheat crop and then a a bean crop. 00:00:11 And we came in and planted this corn crop into this residue and didn't disturb anything. And when they started calling 00:00:16 for rain, we decided we were gonna quit. So we planted a couple days and just shut off. And it was almost five days, six days 00:00:22 before it actually started raining. And we ended up getting somewhere around 12 to 14 inches of rainfall on this farm. 00:00:26 And everybody's like, well, the corn's been in the ground long enough, it's gonna be 00:00:29 all right and everything's gonna be good. And then you get to looking around and you're able to pick up corn seed off the ground 00:00:36 that's sprouted some places the corn seed's still in the ground and the chute came up and the corn's coming up 00:00:42 and you can look right there and you can see the root too. So we know that's not gonna be good 00:00:45 'cause you ain't, it's just everything about that plant's been compromised. So, you know, we got some pretty major issues going on 00:00:51 and trying to figure out what caused it. We had our trash movers raised up there, just barely tickling the ground. 00:00:55 And what we've came down to, the thing we like most about our planter, that's not a true John Deere part, 00:01:01 is the fur force closing system on it. What we like about it is it always breaks the sidewalls down, makes it good and loose, 00:01:07 gets all the air outta the ground. But one thing we've noticed is it loosens it up when we get these tremendous rainfall events like 00:01:13 we've had this past week. The water starts running right down the road, right down the trench where the seed was 00:01:18 and it causes it to blow out. You know, and I'm not gonna say it wouldn't have happened with any other type of closing system, 00:01:23 I think it would've happened with anything, but it's just kind of disheartening as pretty as this field was planting to 00:01:28 be having the issues we are now. And literally every 30 inches across here, it's got a strip of bare ground. 00:01:32 It literally just goes down to as deep as the cultures are running on the seed opener on the disc, openers on the planter there. 00:01:38 So it's kind of crazy how that happened. This don't normally ever happen like this for us, but it is a mess and you know, it's a learning experience 58 00:01:45.005 --> 00:01:46.405
