00:00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extre Ag out here today planting corn. It's a cool breezy day. 00:00:06 We just pulled into this field we call Bokers. It's an irrigated field, high yield management here doing the ETHOS Elite trial 00:00:13 here for FMC. With all of the no-till corn on corn we have, we're constantly looking for waste to protect that seed 00:00:19 and protect that plant ethos. Elite has two components to it. Number one, the insect control. 00:00:26 Many insects, wireworm, different things like that can live in this residue. Also, the disease that can live in this residue, fusarium 00:00:34 and pythium, I've talked about it many times, very prevalent in these soils. Ethos Elite is not only an insecticide, 00:00:41 it also has a bio fungicide component for the disease control. So we hope that we've got complete control of insects 00:00:47 and diseases by putting this one product in furrow. We're also putting this product in furrow with our John Deere planter. 00:00:52 Our Inferral system is the exact shot from John Deere. So we're applying these products and putting a direct shot of the solution right on the seat, 00:01:01 saving us about 35% savings out here. It's a real game changer in a tough economic time. The ROI on the exact shot from John Deere is huge. 00:01:10 The protection we give from Ethos Elite is huge. Uh, it's a great system here. 00:01:14.405 --> 00:01:16.045
