00:00 Well, as you can see, we're using the drone today at DeLaRosa Farms. My friends at TidalGrow, we just flew on a 00:00:07 dose of Align N. Align N, if you're not familiar, you can see right there, it's 18% nitrogen, foliar applied. 00:00:14 Allows you to reduce your application of synthetic nitrogen. Very important as we move forward because the bullseye is going to be on 00:00:21 production agriculture with high levels of nitrates in the surface water and in the aquifers. This has become an issue in states like Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska. 00:00:29 It's probably going to be coming to a state near you. So I'll keep you posted on this. We're going to be doing a couple of doses of this. We also put in some Spectra on the foliar applied drone 00:00:38 application. I'll keep you updated throughout the season and what happens at the end of the year on these five different corn plots in conjunction with 00:00:45 TidalGrow and XtremeAg at DeLaRosa Farms. Exciting stuff. Yes, we're a little behind. As you can see, this corn did not get planted until 00:00:52 June 11th. It was a very wet and cool spring here in Northeast Indiana. 00:00:57.279 --> 00:01:00.639
