00:00:00 Johnny Rell the Extreme Act. We're out here today planting corn and you know, this farm here has been in corn 00:00:05 for about three years now. We had corn followed by wheat. Then behind the wheat we actually planted corn 00:00:10 behind the wheat for a double crop. Then we planted a corn. We're planting corn out here again today. 00:00:14 So we've had tremendous amount of residue and along with that residue and a lot of things you run into, you know, 00:00:18 corn on corn is disease that you can have seed disease and stuff like that. But we've always been trying to figure out, you know, 00:00:24 what will work with our infer program. And last year we were able to try a product through uh, valve crop protection called asteroid. 00:00:30 And so with it, it worked out great for us because two, two reasons had a great yield response, had a good ROI for us. 00:00:36 But also the way it's encapsulated and that formulation is safe to be mixed with any type of infer has been a big game changer for us. 00:00:44 'cause I think everybody's played with infer the last 10 years knows. One of the biggest things that you have issues 00:00:49 with mixing is your fungicide. And you gotta be real careful what you do. You make cottage cheese in the tank. 00:00:54 And so for us that's been a big deal for us as far as you're able to pour it in there and not do anything different. 00:00:59 You don't have to have do trons or nothing like that running it's safe for the seed applied and it mixes well. 00:01:05 So that's been a good thing for us. And you know, you know, vi crop protection's got several products coming out. 00:01:09 They got a few out right now. They got more coming out this year. And that encapsulation technology's a big deal for us as far 00:01:14 as what you could do and how it safes, you know, 00:01:17.465 --> 00:01:18.705
