00:00 Hey y'all, this is Chet Henderson with Extreme Ag and we're sitting in front of the Nature's trial. Again, this is a field day recap. 00:06 A lot of y'all, we appreciate y'all coming to the field day. It was May 16th. You looked at corn that was knee high 00:10 and you scratched your head and like, what does this look like? What does this matter? But so at the time we was talking 00:14 about the programs that we had. This is one right here from Nature's. This is Zero Dry Fertility. You heard me? 00:20 Zero Dry fertility in the stiffs of strip tilled. So we didn't put any dry fertility out here and went with a liquid program. 00:26 The liquid program matched the program that we had on the dry. So we matched the dollar for dollar is what we done. 00:33 And we put this down. This is infer two by two and Wide Drop Fers. This is it right here. So the corn looks pretty good, 00:42 I think Tommy's gonna be pleased with it. Got a little tip back. I couldn't keep up with the water or I've pushed my population just a little 00:48 bit further than I needed to. A couple of those things probably at the same time happened right here. 00:52 And that's what we get into. We had about a three week window here that was real hot and dry and the pivot was doing all it could do. 00:58 But if we would've been down, this is 36,000 plants, if we'd have been down somewhere around 32, 33, these would've been rounded out the end. 01:05 But you live and learn every year's a new year, and we'll try it again next year. But thank you for coming to the Field Day. 01:11 This is your recap. The next recap and video you'll get when the machine runs through it. We'll have you all this data. Stay tuned. Extreme mag.
