00:00:00
So guys, I'm gonna venture to say if you're like me, and I'm sure you are, there's been a lot of times you've heard this, the, uh,
00:00:06
term stick your foot in your mouth and this would be one of those times. And I'm sure that, uh,
00:00:12
lane will be laughing his butt off when he looks at this video. But, you know, when new technology comes out,
00:00:19
I'm an old school guy and, uh, sometimes I just don't believe it'll work. And my biggest mistake I make on the farm is saying
00:00:26
that's never gonna work and it's definitely not gonna work on our farm. In this particular situation,
00:00:31
we're talking about the drones. So when the drones first come out, I was like, nah, I don't know if that'll ever work.
00:00:36
They can't spray enough acres. We're spraying two, three gallons an acres, so that's not gonna work either.
00:00:42
And then, uh, we started playing with a few drones and doing a few different things and you know, I had to kind of start taking
00:00:50
that foot out of my mouth a little bit. So today we've got a drone out here working in the rice. It's been very wet.
00:00:55
Y'all hear me whine about it being wet for the last two months since planting season march. The reason why the drone's flying is we've got these
00:01:03
different technologies in this rice where we can control red rice and resistant barnyard grass. But the timing is crucial when it's time
00:01:10
to spray the barnyard grass, the red rice, you've gotta be there when that time happens. So we have some different technologies that we, that we use.
00:01:17
And one of 'em is a visia technology. One of 'em is Max Ace and we've got so much red rice and so much, um, resistant barnyard grass
00:01:26
and those are really sensitive timing things. So, got wet, it's time to put it out. We can't put it out lane work really hard
00:01:33
to get a drone company to come in here and spray. And as you can see behind me some there's, uh, you know, that guy's really smoking it down.
00:01:41
So be careful what you say because a lot of times it will make you have to insert the foot out of your mouth.
00:01:47
The drone's been really great. Um, you know, I think it is something now that will be, you know, there's a, there's a, there's a purpose for it.
00:01:55
Uh, will it out spray a 120 foot boom sprayer? Probably not. But there's certain situations like this one today
00:02:02
where the ground's too wet to be out here spraying and we're able to put this technology out at the right timing.
00:02:08
Without the right timing, we might as well not have the technology. 'cause if we don't get that grass
00:02:13
and the red rice when it's very small, you know, we're really not gonna make it happen. The two to three gallon work,
00:02:18
we're doing three gallon work out here, uh, with that type of drone. And you, you see it in a video, you know, it pushes
00:02:24
that product down in the ground and makes a lot of difference. So anyway, just a little tidbit of, uh, be careful
