Johnny Verell, the extreme Ag. We're out here today at Kevin Matthews Field Day, and I'm out here with Mr. Steven Sexton.
00:00:05
You know, we we're talking about heating and how to control heat and how to help crop the heat. And it's 70 something degrees today out here,
00:00:11
so it's kind of hard to talk about that. But the last few weeks it's been hot here, back in Tennessee where I'm from, it's been extremely hot, extremely dry.
00:00:18
We're actually trialing some products this year. We're actually trying terramar, you know, it's pretty interesting what you can see
00:00:23
and what it can actually visually change the way the canopy looks at the crop by how
00:00:27
it's helping protect it from the heat. Tell us a little bit about it and how it works and you know, how it's getting into the plant.
00:00:31
Thank you. Johnny Terramar has two unique technologies in it. One is biologically digested kelp,
00:00:37
and what it does, it tells that plant to take up more potassium, which manages the water and transportation in the plant.
00:00:43
So it's cooling down, it's still photosynthesizing and cooling. In the middle of the day when the untreated plants will be
00:00:49
cooled off, will be rolled up to try to to, and shut down the, the treated will be, uh, three to four to five degrees cooler.
00:00:57
And they're not burning that, that very valuable photosynthetic material. The sucrose that, that we wanna, we want
00:01:04
to go towards yield later on. The other component of terramar is what really sets it apart.
00:01:09
It's biologically digested ludite, where we're getting some very short chain, low molecular weight, organic acids
00:01:15
that move very quickly in that plant and, and make help that plant acquire macro and micronutrients and, and take 'em up into the plant.
00:01:22
So it's a pretty good one, two punch. Yeah, It almost adds a shade effect to the plants, it seems like back home.
00:01:26
And so we got temperatures rising back home. It's been over three weeks since we've had a rain. You'll be able to see the treatments visually here in the
00:01:32
next few days back home. So anyways, we'll see how they go. We'll have some good yield results, hopefully.
00:01:37
And you know, I know y'all been getting 'em in already this year and in the past year, so we'll see how they go.
