Johnny Rell with extreme Ag. I'm out here today in one of the soybean fields we planted a few weeks ago and this creek bone is always one
00:05
of the last places we plant because it's always cold and it's always extremely wet. It's right on the side of the creek.
00:11
The creek gets out several times in the spring and it's always a battle we're facing. And when we're facing battles like that,
00:16
we're always having a high disease in the, in the plants, whether it's corn or soybeans.
00:20
And this year I was able to trial a product with VI crop protection. You know, a lot of people haven't heard of that company.
00:24
And I got to looking into it and they use a lot of products that we were already using. They just figured out how to make 'em better.
00:29
They figured out how to encapsulate 'em so that they're easy to mix. And along those lines, you know,
00:33
we're all using these infer programs to really help push the yield and help get that top end yield outta these crops.
00:38
And a lot of times we do that, mixing fungicides and stuff like that with those products do not work at all. And you get a cottage cheese look to your,
00:46
to your infer system and it stops up all your filters and just cause you a lot of headaches. A lot of times you have to dump it
00:52
or you have to put it back into a tank and really circulate it. You know, one thing that caught my eye on this is this
00:57
product here, you dump it straight into your infer products. You don't have to mix it with water
01:02
and then put it in solution with your infer system. You go straight in, their raw product, goes straight into your infer program and it mixes
01:09
and it stays in solution. And that's a big thing nowadays. 'cause a lot of times we'll start planting
01:13
and get rained out and that stuff has to be set and it start separating, start gelling, just start making a mess.
01:18
They've got an encapsulated version and it's unreal. This year I used asteroid fc. The FC sent it for fertilized compatible.
01:25
And it is it's, it is unreal. What it's able to do, quadrats is the product that they've actually figured out how to encapsulate.
01:29
Instead of being at a two pound rate like quadrats per gallon, it's actually over three pounds of active material in a gallon of concentration.
01:37
So you get a lot higher concentration. You can reduce your rates. And you know, one thing I love about it, these roots here,
01:43
even when they're in this wet condition where it stays muddy all the time, we have really no ceiling disease right now in these plants.
01:48
So if we could start off strong and finish strong without that ceiling disease, that's a big deal.
01:52
And you we're hoping to see a season long approach to this and really help keep that plant healthy going into grain
01:57
fill.
