Hey y'all. It's Chad Henderson with Extreme Ag, and we're in one of our fields that we had the Integra corn seed in.
00:05
So we've been, had a little bit of this floating around the south, you know, for, for a few years here. But, uh, you know, I've, I've, I've planted some,
00:12
Matt's planted some and it's done well, you know, uh, you wonder all the time, you know, Hey, this thing hadn't, I hadn't heard of this down here.
00:19
So you, you know, you're always kind of worried or skeptic about putting things like this in, but that's why we do what we do.
00:25
We're trialing these things and we had two varieties in this field. Um, and I'm just walking back through it.
00:30
We're collecting the data, we're walking back through it, we're looking at things, you know,
00:33
and we're looking at stock quality and looking at, looking at things like that that matters to us.
00:38
You know, we get a wind at any time down here or a storm. And so we keep, we always were looking at other
00:44
things besides yield. Yes. It, it has the yield. Yes, we need good grain quality. Yes, we need good test weight.
00:50
And it also provided those things. You know, there's several things we look at when we're harvesting corn, you know, uh, is a cob,
00:56
has it got a good cob? Does it shatter much when it hits the deck plates? Uh, how's the moisture and all on it?
01:02
You know, there's, there's a lot of, lot of little variables that go into it. You know, you can have some
01:06
of the best yielding corn in the world, but if it falls down or it won't harvest well,
01:10
or, you know, if the cob is, is real spongy, you know, it, it can make it a nightmare on the folks running the machines
01:16
and, uh, us trying to get the crop. Us trying to get the crop outta the field. So one of the things we look at afterwards is, you know,
01:23
how much grain is left on, on the cob, which, you know, we can set that with the machines to extent, but how it plays out, you know,
01:29
that's one of the things we look at. Next thing we look at is kinda look at some of the stalk quality on it.
01:34
You can see that it's still, it's still got good quality, you know, so even here,
01:40
after it's done, you, we still got a good sturdy root system and a good stalk. So that tells us what it was, when it did have a plan on it,
01:47
you know, so we'll keep digging into this integrity deal and we'll keep it moving
01:52
and make sure that, um, we keep trialing things for y'all and for us, and to make our farms better
01:57
and make everything more profitable.
