00:00:00 Johnny Verell Extreme Act. We're out here today looking at a little bit of corn and you know, this year has been a 00:00:04 challenge from start to finish. You know, we've had excess rainfall, we've had, you know, fertilized shortages. 00:00:10 It seems like trying to get our liquid fertilized put out on our corn is a challenge this year. 00:00:13 And so, you know, you're thinking about what things are and how things are gonna be different. What we could plan for different, well, 00:00:18 one thing we've been doing the last few years on our farm, we've been using a product with Pivot Bio called Proven 40. 00:00:23 And it's actually a standard practice on our farm. We've been using it for several years. We got a good fit for it in our operation, 00:00:29 but it does allow us to reduce our nitrogen by 40 units. And on a year, like this year when we've had, what, 13, 00:00:34 14 inches of rainfall just a few weeks after we planted our corn, if we'd had that nitrogen up front, the loss would've been excessive in 00:00:41 that amount of nitrogen with that amount of rainfall, especially when corn wasn't even up yet. But we use, you know, pivot bottle proven 00:00:46 before we actually seed treat our corn with it, just how it grows on the roots and consciously pulling more nitrogen from the atmosphere, things like that. 00:00:52 It's always supplying that plant what it needs. You can see it behind us here. The corn looks great, it looks happy. 00:00:57 We've had a lot of rain this year. Uh, nitrogen is gonna be an issue on a lot of farms. It could be an issue on ours, 00:01:03 but as of right now, everything we're seeing in the plots looks great. The corn looks good overall. 00:01:07 And like I said, the other thing we ran into this year, another thing I like about it, it reduced us by 40 units, and that was 40 less units I was trying 00:01:12 to find when nitrogen did get tight this year, and the cost of it went up so high. So there's a, there is always a fit for these products. 00:01:19 You gotta figure out how they work best on your farm, but once you get in sync and figure out exactly how it's working 00:01:23 and where you can use it, it really makes things a lot 00:01:25.775 --> 00:01:25.975
