00:00:00 Out here this spring of 2025 and we're getting a corn in the ground. Conditions is absolutely perfect. 00:00:07 We did a no-till rip on this and then on the edges we did run a vertical tillage to try to smooth up some of the rougher spots 00:00:14 'cause this clay can get pretty rough. Mm-hmm. From Clady and um, but it's a mineral type soil and uh, you know, we're real big about our infer 00:00:23 and our tube two fertilizer 'cause we're wanting to zone place that we just can't afford. 00:00:29 But to broadcast so much, it's just so expensive. So we're trying to use less and get it really centrally located. 00:00:34 The one of the good things is, um, on our planter here is we've got the, um, individual row section control. 00:00:43 Mm-hmm So we have very little overlap and over plant. Yep. And so it makes in, for our products very efficient for me 00:00:49 to use in a liquid form. Mm-hmm But then when you look at these small fields, one thing that you 00:00:55 and I was talking about earlier is how much easier it is if it's only on the seed versus putting it in the furrow and running the whole thing. 00:01:04 It's possible that there's a cost savings for those that can't afford to have the in furrow system that they can look at using a seed treatment 00:01:12 based type product. Which this is my first year using it. Mm-hmm. Power plant. So we're gonna do some tests with a power plant. 00:01:19 You guys are wanting me to compare it to adding it to what I'm doing and then we'll also be looking at it without what I'm doing just as a standalone in other areas. 00:01:28 Right. So like you said, the power plant was designed for guys that don't really have starter opportunities. They may not have inro, they may not have two by two. 00:01:37 Um, they may be small. Uh, farm some small blocks. Yeah. And just moving the liquid 00:01:42 and stuff around is kind of a headache. And so we designed that to go on the seed. And then I kept getting these questions asked is 00:01:49 what if I still wanna use my nutri charge and like my two by two? But It's already in it, isn't it? 00:01:54 It is. Yeah. But they're wanting to use the liquid in conjunction with the seed Tree. Okay. They want to double stack it. 00:02:00 They wanna stack it. Is That worth it? I think it's worth it in guys in situations where maybe the guys can't get it on the seed directly. 00:02:08 Okay. I think that would be real beneficial. And it's not just for the nutri charge technology, it's for the microalgae piece in it. 00:02:15 Right. So we pulled the talc out, we put microalgae in it. That microalgae is gonna feed your bacterium 00:02:21 around your root system, which is gonna help with nutrient availability and nutrient assimilation. So we're actually making what used to be your talc 00:02:29 that did nothing for you. Yeah. Now do something. Right. So you now do you still have the graphite in there 00:02:35 component or do you need it? It's got a finisher that's like a graphite. Okay. So, um, it's very glittery. It's very sparkly. 00:02:41 So I can't wait to see what you look like when you get that on. It Sounds like a pixie dust is what 00:02:45 It does sort of look like it. Yes. Yeah. So it's a 80 20 replacement, full replacement. So it, so 00:02:50 It does what kind of, what's the average cost of this? I know it's gonna depend on your seeding rate. Mm-hmm. But let's just say like a 26,000, 28,000 seed rate. 00:02:59 So it's three ounces per unit of seed. Okay. Well that's easy enough. Mm-hmm. See your math from that. 00:03:05 Yep. So say like, uh, for real easy math, that's Dry ounces too, not liquid ounce. It's dry Ounces. Yes. So that's 00:03:12 something really, we see this a lot folks, is they forget that you, your dry ounce and your liquid ounce is two separate measurements. 00:03:19 Mm-hmm. And you really need to make sure when you're, whether you're spraying whatever applications you're doing in agriculture, remember the difference in you're drying 00:03:27 your liquid and don't assume that your help automatically knows. Go ahead and point it out. 'cause it's a easy mistake. 00:03:33 I've made it, I mean I've made it, you know, get, get the cup and read it and it's the wrong Thing. You think three ounces. 00:03:39 Three ounces. Yeah. And so you just go to scooping. But this is three ounces per unit on corn. Mm-hmm. It's two ounces per unit on soybeans. Right. 00:03:47 And to answer your question, like on corn, so most of guys like just say in Georgia they're running like anywhere from 30 32,000 population for easy math. 00:03:57 We'll say one unit does 2.5 acres. Yeah. That's gonna cost you roughly $6 and 40 cents an acre to go on the seed. 00:04:03 Okay. And then you can subtract your talc and graphite mm-hmm. Cost off that. Yep. Or sure can 00:04:08 or you know, you need to as far as your overall ROI Yep. Yep. On it. Sure can. The biggest thing is, you know, 00:04:15 we was riding, we talking and I told you, you know, when we, these soils, when you look at 'em, you'd think they're not 00:04:21 as productive as they are. But if we get a good rain in July and August, we can grow some unreal bushels on this dry land 00:04:28 acreage in these small fields using the, the different helix and phobics and the practices 00:04:34 and the nutri charge components different, uh, chemistries of that nature is what really has brought these soils out. 00:04:43 And it's kinda like I I compared it to you as those folks that have the uh, high pH. 00:04:48 Mm-hmm. Yeah. You know, our pH is typically low and we're putting lime in, but then even though we got mineral soils 00:04:56 with copious minerals there, the minerals are not available. Right. Until we add these other components in there. 00:05:01 Well then you factor in the fact that you said dry land. Yeah. And so, you know, there's a lot of farmers 00:05:06 that they do have a lot of dry land acres and environmental factors is a big player in fertility and nutrient availability. 00:05:14 And so you said if we get a rain on this, if we get x excess, get enough rain Bushs right? Yeah. If so, with a chemistry type product, 00:05:23 like a nutri charge, that greatly decreases that if Right. Because it's not environmentally dependent. It, whether you, 00:05:31 It just helps build your drought tolerance. It very much so. Yeah. And so it takes a lot of the variability out 00:05:37 of your nutrients in your soil and your added nutrients. Yeah. And if you're wondering, okay, 00:05:42 y'all guys are talking about rain and everything. So right here where we are, our average rain fall year is 50 to 55 inches. 00:05:50 And that's what we have to have. Or we're below average and these places that's gonna be watching this video that our average rain follows maybe six inches a year. 00:05:59 Yeah. So we got good soils, but we cannot hold moisture. Right. We, we just can't. 00:06:05 We go when it quits raining, we can go from a flood to a drought in 12 days here. Mm-hmm. I mean that's, it's just the way it is. 00:06:11 Any product that we can put out there and it's multiple products, it's not one product. Right. Nutri charge is not your fix all 00:06:18 answer. It takes everything else to, You need a program approach, You need a program approach. 00:06:23 And when you do that, then you get a lot more porosity in the soils. It's the ability to take in moisture and hold moisture. 00:06:29 Mm-hmm. And also that allows the roots to penetrate and go deeper to more than natural nutrients that you have in the soils that, that we can't afford 00:06:38 to buy in this economy we're In. Oh gosh. No. And like you said, these are high mag soils, right? 00:06:43 Yes. So on a high mag soil, it's like walking across concrete. Yep. And you know, your calcium 00:06:47 and magnesium ratio is supposed to be five to one for you to have good, uh, percolation, good nutrient movement. 00:06:54 But walking on this, it's just not quite five to one this higher mag concentration. Yep. So you said, you know, 00:07:00 you've been adding calcium in Yeah. In your program because you're trying to get that balance back out. 00:07:04 When we started it was inverted. Yeah. Our mag was way, I mean there was no ratio there. Yeah. It was bad. 00:07:13 Well, adding calcium is the right way to address that. And then, you know, just like this whole conversation we're having is finding 00:07:20 the right products to put in to help balance out your soil as a whole. You can't raise high yield crops if you 00:07:26 don't have a balanced soil. Gotcha. So you understanding that that was a need and your ratios were off 00:07:32 and then addressing that, now you're starting to get to that point where you're getting things kind of slowly in line, slowly in balance. 00:07:39 If and when we get that big rain we're talking about, you know, One other thing is it, it doesn't matter 00:07:44 what products you're using. The, the conditions that you plan in is extremely important is you can tell we do not have any air left in this seed trench. 00:07:55 And when you dig down, you can't find the seed trench. Right. And that's what you want because you gotta get that seed off to a good start 00:08:03 to create a, uh, hardy plant. Mm-hmm. And a good root system to take advantage of all these products that we put in there. 00:08:11 Oh yeah. If you're planting in dirt clouds and you got a lot of air in that seed trench or maybe it's too wet 00:08:16 and it's not closing it off good, there's no miracle product out there that's gonna fix that problem, fix it with a planter, get it right, 00:08:23 and then start relaying it and relying on these other products to help that plant grow and prosper and do well. 00:08:30 Most definitely, everything starts with the solid foundation. And the solid foundation is the dirt itself. Yep. 223 00:08:36.765 --> 00:08:40.445
