Farming Video | Why Kelly Garrett’s Fired Up About Soybeans (Finally)

00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extreme Ag sitting here in the office today looking at some yield data making 00:00:06 plans for next year. One of the things I'm really excited about is soybeans. Uh, that's something that, uh, 00:00:12 I've not said many very many times 'cause I don't think I'm a very good soybean farmer, but we continue to research it this year on soybeans. 00:00:19 Mike Evans and I really had some in-depth research, and the three nutrients that really continued to stand out that were needed were calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. 00:00:29 Now, along with a whole host of other micronutrients and things like that, to balance that plant, assimilate that nitrogen that I've talked about many times, 00:00:37 the calcium, the magnesium, and the sulfur. And we applied them in a couple areas a few times, you know, like three times we made like three passes 00:00:45 and we would continue to take SAP samples and after the application we would get the levels up in the operating limits where we wanted it 00:00:52 to be, and then it would fall out. Um, and those levels would fall out. We could not maintain them. 00:00:57 Uh, interestingly enough, and this is what I'm excited about, uh, speaking with Temple the other day, 00:01:02 he talked about using a new product from Nature's called Detour. Interestingly enough, Tommy Roach 00:01:07 of Nature's made the product detour. It's got a lot of different nutrients in it, the calcium, the Magda, sulfur, many micronutrients that is ic, nice load 00:01:15 of sulfur, nice load of magnesium. Uh, Tommy made that because of what Chad and Temple were talking about using on their crops. 00:01:24 And so Tommy just made a, Tommy made a pre-mix that's really easy for us to use. Really helps, uh, when you don't have to do a lot of mixing. 00:01:31 Of course, detour again has a really nice load of calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, along with a whole host 00:01:37 of other micronutrients. And Helix and Temple talked about. If you just make one pass with this, 00:01:42 you probably won't see much, but if you make multiple passes, 2, 3, 4 Temple even talked about in one 00:01:48 research area, he made six. Holy cow. Does it really show out? Temple hasn't run a lot of SAP analysis 00:01:54 or things yet, research like that Temple does. What's tried and true with him? Um, I've learned a lot from Temple on Soybeans. 00:02:00 You know, this is the value of extreme ag in the peer group, that it really is. Uh, temple has talked about the more passes he makes, 00:02:06 the better the product shows out and he thinks it builds on each other. Well, I think that really goes along with what Evans 00:02:12 and I saw in the SAP analysis that we really need to get that calcium, magnesium, and sulfur up there. 00:02:18 Um, the one field of beans we had this year made 72 in the area where we had the trials in that field with the calcium, 00:02:23 magnesium, and sulfur. The beans made 87, 15 bushel better than the field average. Um, I thought that was a tremendous statement. 00:02:30 Makes me excited for next year. It makes me even more excited when, uh, when I hear what Temple has to say. 00:02:36 Uh, temple for example, had one trial with magnesium acetate from Nature's had an eight bushel yield advantage. 00:02:42 It just goes to show you the need for secondary nutrients in the crops. It, there's way more to it than NPNK. 00:02:49 The need for the secondary nutrients in these crops is greater than what, uh, I know I anticipated. And I'm excited to use Detour next year in my soybeans. 78 00:02:58.655 --> 00:03:00.255
