Hey guys, Jacob here with Live Oak Ag Today we're in a dry landfill. Gonna talk to you about some different strategies you can
00:00:05
use to make a dry landfill. ROI for you. Not everybody has irrigation everywhere or has the, the ability to,
00:00:13
to get water on in a timely fashion. So they gotta take some acres to get some acres that they want.
00:00:18
The thing about dry land is it can be profitable. You just gotta, you gotta take care of it up front. You gotta take care of it in the fall
00:00:26
and get it ready so you can get to it really early in the spring. That means getting your drainage right,
00:00:31
like on this particular field, you know, land plan across it a couple of times, making sure there's no pockets
00:00:35
to you can get out here really, really early for our planning date, uh, would be to an advantage. Uh, another thing is guy likes
00:00:43
to hunt this field in the fall for deer. You know, put a cover crop on it that helps him with his deer hunting, but also it creates something in the
00:00:51
spring to help retain soil moisture and use that deeper into the summer to where he can hold soil moisture in here
00:00:58
and not have a problem with drying out whenever it's reproduction time and losing, losing the crop. Being able to plant early, which goes back
00:01:06
to drainage like I talked about earlier. Uh, get out here and this may be the field you tune your planter in and you may be out here one, two,
00:01:13
maybe three weeks earlier than you normally would start trying to plant the crop that you're gonna put in here. But use that as a way to a,
00:01:19
get your planter right If there's problems, you know, you, you get it here in a field, you're already kind
00:01:23
of expecting lower yields, but you're, you're not putting it out there where you've got a chance for high ri in your other fields.
00:01:29
And the fourth thing is just be patient with it. Get your chemistries out there early, you know, if there's rain coming, try
00:01:35
to get your chemistries out there and make sure they're gonna get activated so you can keep what weeds that the cover crops don't help hold down to working.
00:01:43
And the last thing I would say is if, if normally you're planting a four, five to a four, seven and soybeans for our area, you know, jump up there
00:01:50
to a four two or four three or maybe even a four oh and try to get it in the ground early. Get it up early and get it going early.
00:01:57
So maybe you're looking at a R three R four date before June 21st, so you have as deep into the opportunity as possible before you get into those real long hot days
00:02:06
that dry the ground out, dry the plant out, make it SSE early and end up, you know, losing yield. So if you got any questions, give us a call.
