00:00:00
So guys, you remember in April, uh, Jacob and I were out here and we're doing videos on these beans. This is the beans we planted in mid-March
00:00:07
that ended up getting, I don't know, two foot, three foot of water over the top of 'em, four or five days.
00:00:13
Where we're standing now is where we thought we had the really bad problems. The field above it, ditches couldn't hold the water.
00:00:19
All the water came across, washed across the rows washed. We thought pretty much, pretty much one row completely out.
00:00:27
Yes. Um, you know, we were trying to do the math. Is it worth planting? Is it worth replanting? Because we were gonna be two
00:00:33
to three weeks later on either half the field or destroy the whole field and start back over, which always causes
00:00:39
yields, yield problems. From there, we decided to keep 'em. Uh, really wasn't sure what was gonna happen
00:00:44
and I broke that right at the ground, but this plant was actually sitting in there like that. So this is one of the plants
00:00:50
that we thought probably would never even make it right. You know, it break its neck or whatever.
00:00:54
Figured it's made it to time for desiccation. Uh, it's got a few beans on it. It is not the best looking plant in the world,
00:01:00
but I mean, this is probably a, you know, if we all the plants look like that, it'd probably be a 50, 60 bushel plant, right?
00:01:06
These were the plants we didn't even think we were gonna have, and we're gonna end up with about 65
00:01:10
to 70,000 on one side of the road. So Jacob's got in his hand, tell 'em what you got, Jacob. These were the, what we'll call the normal plants
00:01:18
where they were sitting on each side of the twin row. Um, you know, the, the nine or six and a half inches apart. Like they normally sit off your planter, um,
00:01:25
sitting just like that and they've got a decent load on them. You know, they're, they're ready to desiccate as well.
00:01:31
Um, if you hold them, these were the plants that were sitting on what we'll call the high side of the road that didn't get washed off, like,
00:01:40
or washed down like those plants did. Similar to a single row Plant, similar to a single row plant.
00:01:44
These were actually sitting a little bit closer together, but whenever you start looking at the, the number
00:01:49
of nodes are basically the same, might be one node difference, but when you start looking at the number of, um, pods,
00:01:55
pods per racing and your number of laterals, these, these particular ones, you know, compensated significantly for what was lacking on the side
00:02:04
of the twin road that we lost. Yeah. And then when you look at the root system, you know, there's a, there's a lot more dense root system,
00:02:10
a lot better taproot and all that on, on both these plants that were sitting up here on the high side.
00:02:14
Not to necessarily say that twin rows better, but what we're looking at more than anything is we got some compensation outta these beans
00:02:20
because they had a little bit more elbow room, more room to Grow. Right? A little bit less population,
00:02:23
which what, you know, what people see all the time. Exactly. So guys, this is just kind of a pre-harvest video to what we talked to you about back in the,
00:02:31
back in the spring when we wasn't sure what to do. Yes, we decided to go this way. Leave them, you know, and see what happened.
00:02:37
We'll have a desiccation probably coming here next week, so 14 days we'll be cutting these.
00:02:42
We'll be able to compare the beans we left to beans that weren't damaged and we'll be able to compare the ones that went underwater
00:02:48
for five days stayed underwater five days that they were about V two probably, if I remember correctly, when
00:02:55
That happened, right? They, they weren't very Old. Stay, stay tuned.
00:02:57
We'll get you a third video outta this 00:02:59.505 --> 00:03:01.965
