00:00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Gere from Extreme Ag. We're here in the integrated ag warehouse today, uh, talking about products 00:00:06 and deciding on what next year's fertility program will be. And because of some calibrated agronomy research, we're kind 00:00:13 of leaning our fertility program in the way of natures. And the reason is acetate. You know, I, uh, I really think that my friend Tommy Ro has, 00:00:21 uh, potentially potassium acetate running through his veins. That's all Tommy talks about, acetate, acetate, acetate. 00:00:28 He, uh, he's a big believer, well, because of this calibrated agronomy research and what Clint has shared with me 00:00:34 and acetate has been shown to chase ethylene out of a plant. Ethylene is a stress hormone. 00:00:42 Anytime a plant is under stress, it wants to leave vegetation and go into reproduction to make sure it can reproduce for the next season. 00:00:49 So, my goal as a grower is to keep my plants as stress free or believing there is stress free as possible. 00:00:57 So the more use of acetate really doesn't matter to me necessarily what, uh, what nutrient we're talking about. 00:01:04 Nature's has potassium acetate, calcium acetate, and magnesium acetate. I'm gonna use all three of those, especially in soybeans. 00:01:11 I need all three of those nutrients, but I also want the acetate to chase the ethylene away from my plant 31 00:01:17.075 --> 00:01:19.015
