00:00 We met Brad last year, come up with some stuff just to kind of try some products. Some, we've had some pretty good success last year, right? 00:07 This year we, you know, y'all seen our, our streamers that we run behind our, our sprayer. We put our fertilizer on top of our corn trying 00:15 to mimic tupa two. We talked about that over the winter. And Brad kind of come up with this concoction that we wanted 00:22 to try and see if we could push beans. We don't do infer on beans. Most of everything we do is foliar. Right. 00:27 So trying to get that, that pre-plant boost, I guess you would say. Yeah. For, for our beans. 00:33 What's really cool in my opinion is, you know, we talk about carbon. Everybody talks about carbon. 00:38 Well, you've got carbon, right? Correct. Yeah. But it's a little different. That's Right. Well, the backbone 00:43 of, of our technology is, is activated carbon. As you said, most companies or retailers, distributors have some sort of carbon source. 00:51 Carbon is good. It makes a lot of, uh, farmers feel good. It obviously makes, you know, world, the world 00:57 and environmentalists feel good because it's carbon based. Yep. However, just 01:00 because something is carbon based doesn't mean it's providing an agronomic benefit to the plant or the soil, nor the environment. 01:07 So what we do is actually have a high concentration of a, of a, a IC spectrum that we get from a mine. 01:13 A lot of folks use it. It's called Leonard. That's no mystery. However, it's what you, what you do and the methodology that you have 01:19 to extract the active ingredients or active components of that, of that parent source. The parent source in, in which we use. 01:27 We, we chemically, mechanically, and biologically extract those active ingredients, provide benefit in soil structure, soil chemistry, soil health, 01:37 as well as the below and above ground physiology within the plant. We like to think of ourselves 01:43 as a very customizable cooperator. Yeah. With our, with our customers or, or really anyone that we're doing business with. 01:49 You guys apply chicken litter on just about every acre. So that is your fertility, right? Well, the, the operational flexibility that we have, 01:58 whether it's gonna be in furrow two by two, or from a foliar standpoint, it could be a pre-plant broadcast. 02:04 It could be a, a post plant broadcast, your guys, you guys don't have in furrow. So we then, we then tailored a system for you 02:12 that's high in activated carbon concentration. Mm-Hmm. And we surface banded it. We actually surface streamed it behind the planter. Right. 02:19 And our goal there is really to work on the fertility that you already have out there, but also provide a growth stimulant, a growth hormone. 02:28 Yeah. Within the plant. Obviously soybeans, especially whenever you get into soybeans that look like this high yielding environments, you know, fixation 02:35 and nodulation become more important than, than ever. Right. And so that's what the approach is. And our goal it kick the soybeans off, utilize fertility 02:42 that you have in the soil, improve compaction, obviously increase the stress tolerance 02:47 that these plants have from heat water, maybe too much saturation and allow more anaerobic and aerobic activity. 02:53 That's the name of the game. And what we're looking at here As farmers carbon, everybody wants carbon. 02:58 We're gonna stabilize the nitrogen, we're gonna help you get through the plant a little bit better. 03:02 But we have, we haven't really asked the question of how it's made. We know it come from litter die. Sure. 03:07 Obviously everybody knows that. And the way you say, you know, you're activating it, making it activate carbon, 03:12 is you're turning it into something that's really gonna drive into the soil or into the plant or how, however you're gonna apply it. 03:18 Correct. And you're blending all that with, with nutrients to really pair it together to to, 03:23 to drive it to where it needs to be. That's Correct. So on this field here, 03:27 it's our concentrated activated carbon program. Yeah. Okay. It's, it's, it's, it's just that, it's the, it's our liquid concentrated component. 03:36 It's a 24 to 28% active carbon concentration. Now that comes from different acids. Right. We have organic acids and IC fulvic, the human component. 03:48 You know, we actually have anaerobic and aerobic biology in this material. And so we apply that at a two gallon rate. 03:55 Now, on other farm, in other areas, you know, of the world, we will customize a fertility program. 04:02 So we're using high efficiency, more tech grade, low salt forms of nutrients. Mm-Hmm. We react that with activated carbon. 04:08 I was actually talking to your dad the other day and he posed the same question you did, what is activated carbon? 04:13 And I've told him if I had a, if I'm in an elevator's pitch and I have 30 seconds to do, 04:16 so activated carbon is high IC spectrum source that we activate mechanically, chemically, and biologically. We react that formulation 04:27 with high efficient nutrient sources. The, the main reason why we're reacting it with a nutritional source is really 04:33 to buy the activated carbon time. Mm-Hmm. That's really what it comes down to. So we are applying an immediately available, 04:39 immediately active, protected, stable form of nutrients while the activated carbon has time to perform. Its structural chemical 04:48 and biological act actions in the soil. Brad, I'm, I'm excited about what we got. It. It, it's, to me, it's cool 04:54 to have something like what you've got. It's, it's, it's not what a lot of other people bring to the table. 04:59 Sure. It's something different. Hopefully it worked. It did. It seemed like it worked last year in rice. 05:03 It seemed like it worked in the beans. We don't know if it's for the activator carbon or not, but it seems like we're lodging a little bit less 05:10 in yours than in the check. Correct. That's big. Yeah, that's big. So we got a lot of stuff just right here in this field 05:17 that we're, we wanna see. I'm excited and we'll see what we get at the end of the year. Yeah, Absolutely, man.
