Johnny Verell the extreme Ag. We're out here this morning looking at some corn, trying to see when we can do our next application.
00:00:05
And in this field here we got a, uh, FMC trial going on and we actually ran ethos and Xw at planting and we put out five ounces of Ethos infer.
00:00:14
We ran 15 ounces of xw two by two on the planter. And we have checks going all the way across the field with no ethos and no XY way.
00:00:22
And what we're looking at, we're trying to get this corn to about V four to V six range,
00:00:26
and we're gonna put out 15 ounces of ethos over the top and 120 foot, uh, strips across the field where we left some out just
00:00:33
to see if you could put it out late season if you don't have the capabilities of two by two on your planter.
00:00:37
But a lot of things we're out here looking at this more, and this is a control plant.
00:00:41
This is a plant that got ethos and XY at planting. And you know, we, we've had cool wet conditions this year. Our corns just had a terrible time.
00:00:48
We've had, you know, we're, we're probably almost at our yearly total of rainfall. And here it is almost June 1st.
00:00:53
The other thing that's interesting, we're a day or two out from me in June 1st, and it's probably right at, you know, in the upper fifties,
00:00:59
low sixties this morning. And so it's, it's been extremely cool, uh, cloudy. You know, we've had seven days of sun,
00:01:06
I think in the last 30 days. And you know that, that's hard on corn plants in general. It's hard on everything trying to
00:01:10
metabolize everything going on. The soil's been wet on it, but a lot of things we're noticing is, is the plants,
00:01:16
you know, you got a little bit more height out of the one with xyy and ethos.
00:01:20
Um, but the stalk diameter is a lot bigger. The plant's a lot bigger plant, it's a lot healthier looking plant.
00:01:26
It's got a bigger root system. We broke off a lot of 'em this morning, just kind of digging 'em up.
00:01:30
But, you know, another thing we noticed on this plant here, it actually has some tillers where it's actually trying
00:01:35
to tiller a sucker out. And it's hard for us to hold these, but this one here put on, you know,
00:01:39
it's got a great root feeding it right now. Um, but it's hard for us to hold 'em 'cause this is in a dry land, dry land field here.
00:01:46
And a lot of times it's hard for us to hold suckers, even if it's in irrigated for us 'cause of the heat and stuff late season.
00:01:51
But I think we're off to a great start. The, the plant health looks good and like I said, we're fixing to do some replications
00:01:57
hopefully here next week when it gets a little bit drier. We're gonna come out here and do some replications across
00:02:01
this field with xw at 15 ounces, uh, just through a broadcast spray and just see how that pushed this plant,
00:02:07
if we can get it in the plant and do the same thing. We're doing two by two. We had this trial last year. We had a great return on our investment.
00:02:14
We had, I think it was around seven bushel yield gain on the corn last year. And so I think we'll see the same thing this year.
00:02:19
It may be better due to all the wet conditions we've been in this year. And, uh, we'll just see how it is from here
