Farming Video | 87-Day Corn Trial with Garrett, Henderson & Coutu

14 Sep 253m 30s

Kelly Garrett and Chad Henderson made the trip from Iowa and Alabama up to Quebec to check out a corn trial with Sam Coutu and the folks at AgroLiquid. With cooler temps and no humidity, the guys are loving it—but what’s really got ‘em talking is how fast this 87-day corn moves. Kelly’s planting at 32K, Chad’s at 38K, and they’ve got different philosophies behind it.

00:00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extreme Ag. We are in Alabama. We are in Iowa, but Chad Henderson and I are here in Quebec with our good friend Sam Tu 00:00:08 and Ramey from Agri Liquid. The Weather's amazing. The Weather is amazing. Ly it's not hot and it's not humid. 00:00:13 Chad and I are pretty happy. Yeah, we're we're great. We're here at Sam's Field Day. We we're standing in front of the Agri Liquid trial. Raimi. 00:00:20 What, what's involved with this trial? What we've enjoyed with, uh, as we're putting this trial together was trying to fit, uh, 00:00:27 given a little bit different climate, um, trying to fit an agri liquid piece to this. And so what we really learned was, uh, the versatility 00:00:33 of the Agri liquid product, uh, knowing that, uh, our phosphorus uptake is gonna be a little bit different knowing that our growing season 00:00:40 is gonna be a little bit different. Uh, we put together a program that we thought was pretty, uh, pretty fitting for the area that we were in because, 00:00:47 Because we're talking about here, what a, we're talking about a 85 day corn. Yeah. 87. 87 day corn. 00:00:52 So the whole speed of this thing where there's uptake of all of it is what is what he's talking about. 00:00:57 Yeah. You know, it's, it's, it's amazing to me to watch this corn. We walked, come out here yesterday 00:01:01 and we, we walked a lot of corn. We looked at different populations. You know, Kelly's sitting in there, one 00:01:05 of his at 32 5 or something. I'm sitting in there at 38 with mine, and we both have different philosophies on why we did it, 00:01:12 but the speed is something that we all gotta get our mind wrapped. Correct. What products did you use? So, I used bring up, I used, 00:01:20 uh, pro Germ, I used Calibrate, uh, micro 500. Ah, yeah, Yeah. Oh Yeah. You're talking our length. 00:01:26 Oh yeah. And these plots are supposed to be educational, but I'm at 32,000 population. 00:01:32 He's at 38. He doesn't know it, but Sam already told me this morning yesterday, Chad's out here digging around. 00:01:37 He said, well, Kelly's ears are bigger, but I got more of them. Yeah. I also have a lot bigger yield 00:01:41 than Chad does, per usual. It's supposed to be educational, but it always becomes competitive. 00:01:44 It, it's always, and the thing is, I said, you know, Kelly thought he knew this the first year I was here. I said the same thing. I went to Sam, I said, Hey, 00:01:51 too much population, we gotta pull it back. But then what you can't wrap your mind around is the speed. It's just like, uh, double crop soybeans. 00:01:59 I always talk about that, but it's just like late season beans. You know, you have to plant more 00:02:02 because you just can't put so much on a stalk. But with the dry weather they've got here sounds like, oh, it's really dry. 00:02:07 I was like, it's not that dry. He's like, oh, it's really driveway. You can't look sideways in the corn plant, 00:02:13 like in Alabama. So it's not that bad. You can't see out the other end. You can't see Out the other end. But, 00:02:17 but you know, Kelly, right now with the, with the drought that they're having right now in Canada, um, it definitely looks good. 00:02:24 The corn looks really good. Yeah, It was amazing to me. Like last night we were talking there. Chad and I are always trying to slow our corn plants down 00:02:31 and keep 'em vegetative. They're trying to get 'em to go into reproductive. You just we're so much further north here. It's different. 00:02:37 But one thing that is a constant, when you're talking base saturation challenges, you got base saturation challenges. 00:02:42 The mag here is 25%. That's why he is got the phosphorus in. That's why we're trying to do that, things like that 00:02:47 because you're trying to overcome that base. Tighten up fertility. Fertility, it don't matter where you go. Yep. 00:02:52 What Will be interesting is that Kelly didn't put any phosphorus. Infra. That's right. I wanna put that on later in his strip. 00:03:01 So we'll see. It's gonna be good. No, but that, that's the purpose of this day. 87 day corn. Chad could probably plant this three times 00:03:10 in one year in Alabama. That's right. That's right. That's interesting. They're talking about some 69 day corn. 00:03:13 I could probably plant that twice. I'm thinking about that. Could we double crop the corn? That'd be interesting. Yeah. 00:03:19 You know, we'll have to see what the trial results are here. 00:03:21.505 --> 00:03:23.565
