00:00:00 Hey guys, Jacob, apple Berry here with Live Oak Ag, doing an update on the cover crop that Matt and I did a video on a few weeks ago in front 00:00:07 of another cold snap that'll be late here later this week. Talking about single digit feel like. 00:00:12 So seeing what we got for growth. Um, if there's any improvement or anything we need to, to address throughout the season 00:00:19 before we, uh, kill it in probably 30 to 40 days, we're gonna kill it two weeks in front of the cotton. Our grasses are getting a little bit deeper. 00:00:26 It's getting a little bit more difficult to pull 'em out of the ground. Uh, whenever we're here earlier, 00:00:30 it was easier to pull 'em outta the ground. Look at the root system. So we're getting some root penetration. 00:00:34 Uh, we've got a couple soil moisture probes out here looking at different things with, uh, 00:00:38 soil temperature, things like that. The other part of the field has been burned down, where the non-covered crop's at, 00:00:44 we'll look at that here a little while. Uh, major difference between what we're seeing right now here and over there. 00:00:49 Uh, row heights different and things like that. So see what looks like, say tuned. So we've got our broad leaves here. 00:00:55 You can see they're getting a little bit more size to 'em, getting a little bit of damage on the leaves. 00:00:59 A little bit of discoloration, which isn't really a big deal. It's not a cash crop, so we're not worried about it. 00:01:04 We're just trying to maintain the 12 different things we see astronomically with, uh, cover crops. 00:01:09 And then trying to down the road, gain the four, five economic things we see with cover crops, having 'em in the field. 00:01:16 Got our broadleaf, got our grasses here, a little bit of chemical damage on the grasses, but again, I'm not, I'm not really 00:01:21 worried about that right now. Again, develop a pretty decent root system. Obviously I didn't get it all outta the ground 00:01:27 'cause we're wanting, you know, deep root penetration, weem. Go as deep as we can try to get 'em just 00:01:31 before we start filling the boot stage in the grasses. Uh, when we get that, we know we've got maximum use of the root zone and we're ready to kill 'em 00:01:38 or two weeks prior to planting, whichever comes first. I, I'm not a proponent of, of planting to a green bridge. I've had bad luck with that personally, so I want it dead 53 00:01:47.245 --> 00:01:50.485
