Farming Video | Dialing In Magnesium

1 May 26 • 1m 4s

Sometimes it’s not the big stuff—it’s that one nutrient you’ve been overlooking. Out in this no-till corn trial, the program’s been solid for years, but something still isn’t quite lining up. Now the focus shifts to magnesium—and maybe a touch of iron—and what happens next might surprise you. They’re tweaking placement, timing, and rates.

5+ Years - Grower Standard Practice

00:00 Hey, y'all. We're standing here in the field, and we're looking at a little trial work. The trial work is of one of the XtremeAg trials that I'm doing 00:00:06 for Tommy Roach at Nature's There. And we've done this a couple of times where we had no-till fertility, right? We keep doing that, and Tommy fits the program in, and man, it does great. 00:00:15 Most years it's spot on. But this year we're addressing the other couple of things we need, the things we haven't done, the things we haven't figured out how to address. 00:00:24 One of them on our farm is magnesium, the other one maybe a little bit of iron. So Tommy, we're really focusing in on magnesium. 00:00:31 They had a product last year, magnesium acetate, and what they've done with it is it doesn't take a lot. 00:00:37 It seems like from a half gallon to a gallon a year for us, and so we're really honing in on that. We had a half a gallon of that in the strip 00:00:44 freshener, and then we also are going to have some spiked foliar and also in the planter. So those will be some of the things we're looking at. 00:00:52 The corn looks pretty good. Tommy's off to a good start. 00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.079
