Do you plant soybeans? Do you treat your soybeans? You know what? Sometimes it's expensive proposition.
00:05
We might have an option for you. Eric Kellum here with American Southern Agriculture, he's a representative for Mari stem,
00:09
has some pretty cool stuff. This is a hopper throttle technology. And one of the cool things that they did with this was,
00:15
if you don't have in furrow on your planter, this can sort of cut that need for that and, and saves you some money.
00:22
And you said, you know what else it did, Damien, it made it so that now you don't have to have a seed treatment
00:27
facility on your property or pay somebody to treat your seed. So what am I looking at? So right now, like you said, Damien, to be able
00:32
to treat your seed, not have to run in furrow, but also the metal axle and the pre-fight that are in the, the new first loop pal.
00:39
So you have the option of being able to add these two, treat your naked soybeans so you don't have to have a seed treatment on the
00:45
Eric, I wanna show the viewer what we're talking about here. So basically this is a bucket of tack talc, right?
00:50
T Drop. This is a bucket of tacked off, right? So I need this to go in my planter. And then what do we got here?
00:55
You got six, six bio capsules here. So these all hold the live microbials and it also holds your inoculate for your soybeans.
01:01
And then the metal axle and the pre-fight, the, the, the button configurations can be changed, but you have your consortia biology, your ether,
01:08
which is your enzyme technology. You also have your teum. Okay. So what happens is this stays on the top
01:14
and then when I'm ready to, to put, to feed my planter, I just pull this off, pop that, and all the contents in that little foil packet,
01:21
go down in there and mix with the talc, Pull the top and let her drop. And when you pop these, you wanna shake it up real good.
01:27
You want to put air into that talc graphite? Yep. I dump in my seed box and I'm ready to dump it in your Yeah. Bulk pro box,
01:32
whatever You want. Okay. You said, so basically this is a seed treatment. So instead of me taking, you know, a, a huge shuttle
01:39
of soybeans and saying run that through the seed treater, this does it. That's Right. So you can do it
01:43
all. So as an independent ag dealer and also my family farms, it makes it real easy for us to do it on the spot.
01:49
We don't have to have any special seed treatment run through seed treater. It also gives us some other options to
01:53
Run it. What if I have the capability of seed treatment, do I still need this or do I need this? So
01:56
The seed treatment is, is, is key in a lot of areas. The timing is critical too, if you're planting early versus late.
02:03
But I will say that there's no way to deliver the biologicals, the omes. Okay. And, and everything that's in that bucket
02:09
with the micros included with the tout graphite in any other way, you really want it on the seed.
02:14
You wanna be able to effectively coat the seed and, uh, this, this is the best way we found to do it. Got it. So soybean treatment,
02:21
seed treatment option in addition to getting biologicals and some other stuff to feed my,
02:25
my soybeans that I'm planting. So if I don't have a soybean seed treater, this is an option that's an option.
02:30
And it also gives me the other stuff to get the plants out to the right start. Yes sir. His name's Eric Kellum.
