Hey guys, it's Temple with Extreme Ag. So let me tell you a pretty cool story. So I got invited this winter to go out there
00:05
and do a kind of a farmer panel for the guys out there at ARD ag out there in Missouri. So I went out there, did a talk with them,
00:13
and we got riding around and I was talking to Taylor and with Nate Bluffs, which are both members of extreme Ag. And we got having this conversation about changing my
00:22
chemistry program, which I try to do every few years anyway, you know, maybe three or four years when you get a per good
00:29
program, it works really well. And then it seems like it kind of tails off. So they were like, Hey, have you ever used Anthem Max?
00:36
And I was like, nah, I don't know anything about it. So they were telling me about it and they were like, you really ought to try it.
00:41
So they kind of came up with a program. I kind of thought about it, came back home, got some prices on it,
00:46
and started to look at it really hard. Well, one thing that we found out that with with Anthem Max was, is
00:54
I could quit rinsing out my sprayer every year. What we do is, is you know, we're spraying corn and we're spraying bean ground.
01:01
Like on this farm in particular, we planted these corn, these beans the same time, exact same day. So it's a lot easier for a sprayer roll in here
01:09
and spray the whole farm. So we did that this year and we've had tremendous success with it. I'm actually really shocked the beans that are behind me,
01:18
those in particular, they've only been sprayed once. So we burned them down early and then we planted these no-till
01:24
and then we came back in with a program with Anthem Max and Roundup over the top after they came outta the ground. They haven't been gone back in again except
01:33
for micronutrients and pgs and all the crazy stuff that we do. But that's, and that's an irrigated field,
01:40
so it's had plenty of moisture, it's held that crop. I hadn't had any more herbicide on it. And the same thing with this corn field.
01:47
So generally, you know, we put on a bunch of atrazine and some other things and I actually did some trials this year where I didn't put on any atrazine.
01:57
This particular field didn't have anything. It was going over once, same as the beans burned down two four D early,
02:04
and then we came back over the top when the corn was up and we sprayed round up and, and the anthem max over it and it's holding the ground.
02:12
So again, these are one, these are some of the things and some of the chemistry and some of the things that we're doing.
02:17
We're finding out that it's easing our process out here. We're not rinsing out sprayers,
02:23
you're not running two different types of sprays. You're not gonna make a mistake on the, on the spray trail or mixing the wrong chemistry
02:30
and then hurting your corn or hurting your beans. So this kind of eases our process and it actually was a little bit more economical,
02:39
especially in these economical times that we're having within agriculture. It saved me a lot of money.
