Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extreme Ag. We're out here to post harvest. You know, the guys are up the road in another field,
00:00:06
but, uh, this is one of our trial fields. This is one I was most excited about. This is where we seeded the cover crop on June 20th.
00:00:13
We waited 14 days after the post chemical application because we were worried about the residual. We tried to choose chemicals that, uh,
00:00:23
had the shortest residual that we felt comfortable with. And the 14 day mark is where it's at.
00:00:28
So this cover crop was seeded about June 20th. This, uh, really was an experiment because, uh, TJ wasn't definitely
00:00:36
approving of our timing. He thought it should have gone out about 10 days sooner, and we should have, uh, chosen a different chemical plan.
00:00:44
Um, but this is what, uh, wind grove and I decided on. There is bounty rye grass here, Dixie, crimson clover, bayou kale, and African cabbage.
00:00:55
And, but we put it out hoping to have some fall growth. And this is what, uh, this is one of my attempts of, to turn a cover crop into a revenue stream by being able
00:01:06
to turn the cattle out here and, uh, have some, uh, forage form and things like that. But, uh, holy cow, uh, this has come up great.
00:01:14
There's a lot of green out there and stuff. And I gotta tell you, I've got cows in other stock fields and they're getting out.
00:01:20
Um, and you're, you're trying to chase 'em in. 'cause the fences aren't good right now. It's still warm enough. They want green grass.
00:01:26
Well, in this field we've got some green forage in the field. When it cools off and things like that,
00:01:31
the cows will be satisfied with the stalks, but they sure would like to have something green right now. And, uh, these leafy plants that we put out here, uh,
00:01:39
really look great, uh, look great for carbon sequestration and they look great for cattle feed like we talked about.
00:01:45
I, I really couldn't be happier with the result we have here. This will be something that we do more of next year
00:01:50
as we go forward and we increase the cow herd and things like that and look for a, uh, 00:01:55.075 --> 00:01:57.445
