00:00:00 Hey y'all this's Ted Henderson with Extreme Ag and we're out here today looking at some double crop soybeans. 00:00:04 We're just looking at a few of these beans. We've got 'em here in hand. We're sitting in front of a 90 acre field and this is way extreme ag. 00:00:10 A lot of times how we do our trials, we left one streak out confident in this ac. 00:00:15 That's right. We left one streak out in this field and it's 120 foot wide all the way to the end of the field. And we're just gonna give y'all a preview to what's coming. 00:00:22 This is the beans with the whole organic spray down and this is the beans without. Now let's talk about what you wanted 00:00:29 to see outta this Caleb and what we've done here. So you left your 90 foot strip out here and well, what kind of fertility did you put on this field? 00:00:36 So we had no fertility. The only fertility we had was in front of the wheat. That's kinda the way we do it. 00:00:40 And it's usually somewhere around like a 35, 40, 40, you know, is what we, what we would have in this. And then we come in here with a double crop of soybeans and 00:00:49 after we planted, and it's something we're gonna do next year, is we're gonna be fast 00:00:53 as we can get the breakdown any, but this is the breakdown 800, right? Yeah. 5 0 800 breakdown right there. 00:00:58 5 0 800 breakdown. And we put it in right behind planting. I would like to spray something on the wheat 00:01:03 so many days in front of harvest. Yeah. And then get to see how, what the difference was on the planting. 00:01:08 You know, there's other things we're gonna look at on this. Definitely y'all. Yeah, that'll, that'll help. 00:01:11 That'll help with germination, I believe. Yeah. So What do you, so what do you think about coming south? You here in Alabama? You said you was, 00:01:17 you was in Colorado, right? That's right. Motorcycles with some with you boys. That's right. Yeah. We And you 00:01:21 Just swung by Alabama on the way Home. Yeah, just on the way, you know, 00:01:23.325 --> 00:01:23.325 00:01:23 had to fly across country anyway. Might as well stop in Alabama and see you guys see what's going on. 00:01:26 Yep. Yep. Make sure we're doing Something anyway. That's right. But I'll tell you what 00:01:29 I'm liking what I'm seeing. Yep. I think so. And you know, Kay and them got some rain and you know, the thing about this is too, 00:01:34 Caleb then was in, they had a little better growing conditions I think this year, other than a hefty amount of rain than we did. 00:01:40 But we was in, when the, when the gals come down and uh, done some, the interns come down and done some tissue sampling and some pulling of these. 00:01:47 We was in about a three week dry spell. And I told, I said, make sure you document that because you know how a lot of products, it kinda sits still. 00:01:55 You know, that's, that's a tough time. You know, and we always know all this information. It is extreme heat too. It was extreme heat. Dry and hot. 00:02:01 That's right. Well, I'll tell you, we could see the plants when they dug them back down, they, they was much smaller. 00:02:05 But you could see that the whole gangs plant had had, was much further along. It was Definitely doing its jobs. 00:02:10 You can look at the bottom. So we Can look at, this is non organics. This is the Hogans. 00:02:15 Yep. This is standard practice here. This is standard practice plus organics. That's correct. Right. So you can see, I mean, we got a healthier plant. 00:02:22 I don't think that's, anybody's gonna argue about that. We typically see much better rooting. Uh, we, we, in fact, we broke a lot 00:02:27 of these roots when we're pulling 'cause ground here's kind of hard, kind of some red dirt. Yeah, yeah, a little bit. We're gonna 00:02:32 Have to work on that, ain't We? Yeah, we, we'll get it there, we'll get it fixed up. We say standard. Right. So out here standard for you is you, 00:02:38 you're not doing any fertilizer on that? No fertilizer. Just, just the fertilizer from the wheat that's left over which 00:02:41 Your, your standard in extreme ag is 28 0 5. Are you, you tell that You do. So, so we talked about 00:02:46 that in a second. You know, and, and they asked me, said, well, did you put your urea down? 00:02:51 Uh, I say urea because you don't ever know. Like sometimes I'll have time to put down the, one of the better things we've done in double crop beans is 10 00:02:58 gallon of 28 0 0 5. Okay. We spray that right behind the planter because it'll be on a straw and 00:03:03 it'll be dragging on your planter. Yep. So we put it down behind the planter and it gives those beans, we get 'em outta the ground. 00:03:07 The problem with double crop beans is we'd run outta daylight. We run outta sunshine, run outta daylight 00:03:12 and we just can't, can't get the yield we want out of them. So we put that out and we've seen to make a yield increase. 00:03:18 Every time we do that, we get few bushel out of it because it gets that plant. I don't know if it gets the plant up and going much more 00:03:25 or it gets the plant up high tall enough to make sure we cut all the beans. That's right. It may be that 00:03:30 Some years it's, you know, can we get 'em tall enough to get 'em in the header? That's right. That's exactly right. 00:03:34 You should notice out here that the wheat st stuff is much easier to harvest in case we get wet. 00:03:38 Yep. You know, those, uh, double crop beans are harder to harvest Yeah. Than single crops. And you should see a difference there. 00:03:44 And I guess we should point out, I pulled up three stalks each. And you pick the best outta the 00:03:49 organics and the best outta the checks. That's right. We're trying to be non-bias as we can here This year our farm average was somewhere around 88 bushel. 00:03:58 This field is somewhere around 85. 84. 85 had a big bottom out of it. If you counted all that bottom, 00:04:04 it drain drowned out down there. What you see, we probably in the seventies, but harvestable wheat here, 00:04:09 it was somewhere around mid eighties. Mid eighties. Yeah. It's mid eighties. So There's a lot of, there's a lot 00:04:13 of nutrients in that straw. Yeah. So We don't bail any straw. We don't take any straw away. 00:04:18 So it all stays in here, you know, and goes back into ground. So when you look at the whole organic plants 00:04:22 and you see how much better they're performing than check we got, definitely got a healthier plant. 00:04:25 What happened, what's really happening is the microbes that you're putting into the soil, they're helping to break down that stu 00:04:30 that leftover from the, from the wheat harvest. And it's gonna release the nutrients that are tied up in, in that, in that, uh, plant cellulose material. 00:04:38 Yep. It's gonna break it down and then convert it and improve the nutrient cycling to the plant. So at the end of the day, we're adding life back to the soil 00:04:45 that life is more productive and that soil's more productive for that plant. We're able to get a lot more nutrients to 00:04:50 that plant available nutrition available nutrient available nutrients to that plant. Because We know we can come out here and we can just 00:04:55 fly fertilizer on this. That's thing all day long. But What's available? But we're pulling it out of the, you know, you left the, 00:05:01 the fertilizer from the wheat and, and we're pulling that out, making it available to the plant. 00:05:05 And so those, those plants are doing better because they got more food. 'cause the microbes are there to get it done. 00:05:10 So they're healthier plants, they got better roots, they can explore more of the soil. But we're also gonna convert a lot more of that, those, uh, 00:05:16 nutrients to make 'em available to plant. And that plant's gonna be healthier as a result. Hopefully that turns into the 00:05:21 yield and money in your pocket folks. And hold on in this Alabama summer and to Hold on with the heat. 00:05:25 And that's, and that's another key factor. And that's what we're gonna dive deeper into. And that's what we're gonna look at 00:05:30 because we gotta figure out a way to make this plant where just last another day or two, me and Caleb's always seen like, it's just, 00:05:36 just, I just needed one day. I just needed two days. Yeah. I just needed one rate. And that's what the goal is here. That's right. 00:05:41 And my healthier soul is a so say so. Yeah. Better dirt is better for everybody. That's Right. And more life 00:05:48 in the, in the soil is gonna make that soil productive. And we're just adding life back to soil. That's all whole gang's about. Um, 00:05:53 but when we do that, we get better plants. A lot of what we've been doing in commercial agriculture the last 20, 40 years comes at the cost of soil health. 00:06:01 And maybe we get yield, but at what cost to the fundamental functionality of that soil. So we're here to bring that life back to the soil, make 00:06:08 that from a vicious cycle, is what we've been doing in commercial farming and putting, putting harm to the, to the microbes 00:06:13 and make it more of a virtuous cycle. So they get better, they get better, they get better. So the more you use whole organic year over year, 00:06:19 the soil will get better. We'll continue to add light back to that soil. That is a heck of a sales speed. Yeah. 00:06:23 Well that's like, I'm ready. Buy tanker Load. Hey man, I'm your man. It, It's, listen, it ain't magic. 00:06:28 It's just, it's just mother nature. Yeah. We just help her do what she wants. Do works. It works. It works. 00:06:31 That's right. And that's what we're gonna get to the bottom of right here because we've been testing a couple years, we've had good results with it. 00:06:36 And we're still trying to figure out the best fit, fit for Henderson Farms. Whether I need to put it in with a strip er, whether I need 00:06:42 to put it in with a planter, whether we need to spray breakdown over the top, what is the best fit. And that's what you need to look at for you. 00:06:47 What's the best fit for your farm. It's all about making money. If we don't make no money, he don't make no money. 00:06:51 None of it's in business. So That's right. 00:06:53.505 --> 00:06:55.445
