So guys, I'm here with concept agritech and they have partnered with a company called Leaf Tech. This is an on-demand tissue analysis machine. Yep. Right?
00:00:09
So what's really cool about this is instead of waiting days and days or days, I shouldn't say days and days,
00:00:15
but days to get your, uh, tissue samples back. This is how long Garrett, well After you pull 'em, you can probably get 'em back in,
00:00:21
you know, 15, 20 minutes. 15, 20 minutes. And how accurate are they Reed? They're, They're real accurate. We, we've
00:00:26
done some side by side with sending stuff to the lab versus pulling 'em out and it's been right there close over time.
00:00:31
Good deal. Good deal. So one of the things we're real nervous about, and then y'all had worse weather than we
00:00:35
have, is all the rain. Yeah. You know, we don't know how much is leach. We don't know how much of our nutrients have
00:00:41
leached where they're at. And we're also very, very far behind on application. Heck, we're trying to use an airplane as a custom applicator
00:00:50
and still can't get the ground dry enough to not gas off the urea. So this is something you run out in the field with,
00:00:56
take samples and know where you're at. So that's what we're doing today, is we've got a field that we still like probably about 80 units
00:01:01
of nitrogen on that's tased. I asked Reed and and Garrett to come down with this and, and let's just go through this field
00:01:07
and look at it that way I can either sleep tonight or not sleep tonight. So that's one thing about this tool is it's good
00:01:13
to give you on demand and I don't have to wait three or four days to know whether I should put the airplane in there with the ground a little more moist
00:01:19
or wait a few days until it ain't. Or if I'm tasseling, am I gonna run the tassels or do I have time to wait?
00:01:26
Absolutely. Alright guys, so we've got our Leaf Tech scanner here. So pretty much how this works is, so we pull the same leaf
00:01:31
that we're going to be tissue testing if we send it off to Midwest Waters or wherever you send your tissue test to. So pretty much what we do is we just pull this leaf off
00:01:41
and we stick it in here. Once we stick it in, we click scan, then we wait about, I don't know, 10 seconds or so.
00:01:49
Once it says scan complete, we click accept. Once the scan's accepted, you're good, you go onto your next tissue
00:01:56
and in about 20 minutes it'll be uploaded. We can take a look at our sample. So why aren't we taking so many leaves, Garrett?
00:02:02
So we're taking so many leaves because we wanna try to get a representative area of the entire field.
00:02:06
So we walk through there, you gather 10 up. But what the cool thing about this is actually we'll average all 10
00:02:12
of those leaves together into one sample once you get it. 00:02:14.615 --> 00:02:15.615
