Hey guys, lane miles here. We're here, uh, kind of south, I guess you we'd say south of Dallas, south Fort Worth area.
00:00:06
And uh, Todd, you were telling us earlier about, you know, some stuff you were growing, which most
00:00:09
of it sounded pretty normal then you, you kind of hit the spot for me. 'cause I, I enjoy a good cheeseburger. Right.
00:00:15
And I really, really like a hamburger bone with sesame on it. Yeah, me too. So
00:00:19
You told us you grew sesame. Tell us a little bit about that. Yeah, so we've kind
00:00:23
of gotten away from our wheat rotation here, but we're planting a lot of corn. So I knew that we needed
00:00:29
to get back the wheat back into the rotation just for rotation purposes only. But wheat's cheap. Wheat's terribly cheap.
00:00:35
It's hard to make it work on paper. Matter of fact, it really don't work even with the really good crop that we've had this year.
00:00:41
It's not a big money maker. I tasked myself, how do we squeeze a little more outta this wheat just to force it back into our rotation and double crop.
00:00:51
Everybody says double crop. You talk to anybody north of here, why don't you plant beans in it?
00:00:54
Well, we get too hot for beans. Beans will absolutely burn up. It gets extremely hot here. So what crop will handle it?
00:01:02
And that's what kind of how it came to sesame. Uh, it's extremely heat and drought tolerant. So why not? Let's try some sesame in this wheat stubble
00:01:10
and see what we can, you know, to me it's a goal just to squeeze a few dollars outta wheat. Right. A few more dollars outta wheat. Absolutely.
00:01:16
So that's kind how we ended up there. Well, I mean that makes, that makes a whole lot of sense to us because, I mean, we plant,
00:01:20
you know, we don't plant a whole lot of wheat. 'cause like you said, when the dollars don't work out. Mm-hmm. You know, normally if we gotta get a decent crop on
00:01:25
the beans to make any money. That's right. Well, if you can't make the money, might as well not do it.
00:01:29
So if you can make some money on some sesame Yep. Might need to try that at home. Well, and I would love nothing more than to be able
00:01:36
to grow soybeans here. I they'd be a great rotation and especially if we could do it in our wheat stubble, it wouldn't be anything better, but it just
00:01:42
gets flat out too hot. Yeah. I mean, I don't even know if it'd work one outta 10 years here.
00:01:47
So what crop can handle heat more than anything? Most anything else. And the answer is sesame from what I've gathered in researching it.
00:01:55
So hopefully we can get it going. I'm a little concerned about weed control in it. That'll be the biggest challenge.
00:02:01
But we're gonna see what happens. Hey, if you don't try, you don't know. That's right. I'm excited because I'm gonna keep eating them Cheeseburger.
