00:00 We always talk about what the attendees of our field days learn. We also talk about what our extreme ag guys themselves learn 00:05 through, through some of the experiments and the trials and the labs they do. But what do our business partners learn at this? 00:11 Tommy Roach and Jason Worley with Nature's have been at all of our field days. Well actually Jason missed one. Tommy's been at all of them. 00:18 What is your takeaway after all of these experiments? We're just wrapping up our fifth and final field day here at Temple Roads Farm, 00:25 August 22nd. Takeaways. You've got So, Well, we started in, uh, mid-May, and now we're finishing up in late, uh, August. 00:34 It's been fun to see different growth stages, uh, of the crops. Uh, especially 'cause a lot of the same things 00:41 that we trial here. We've trialed in other locations, so it based on environment. It's good to see how, 00:48 how the same treatments vary based on environment. Also, you said different stages of plant growth. What we saw at Chad's in May, 00:55 even though he's in North Alabama versus say, you know, Iowa or the South Dakota, you're talking about plants 01:01 that were in, you know what, vegetative stage one, two. So, uh, plant stage at Chad's, which was mid-May, uh, his corn was anywhere from, uh, knee high to to waist high. 01:14 Then we went to Kelly's, which was, uh, late May. And because of weather and stuff, he just barely got his planted. 01:22 So crops were really young there. Fast forward to here at Temples and you're well into the R three R four 01:31 stage on corn. Yeah. What about you? When you go Jason and you say, all right, I was at most all these field days. What's the takeaway for you? 01:38 And you've worked in the industry and you farm, you're a farmer and you work for a facility company. 01:43 You still learn stuff. When you come to these, The thing that really picks up that all the farmers that are coming should have understand is different ways 01:50 to apply fertility because we give up on the crops so early in the game, we think that, you know, we're, we're right here, 01:56 but we're, we're showing with, with what we're doing. We're showing how the farmer can take and add fertility in. Yeah. Late season yield. Yeah. And we never talk. 02:04 We talk about it, but sometimes they don't quite understand it. But this is reality. They can see 02:08 what these guys are actually doing. Late season wind crops, You introduced a graphic that's one 02:14 of the best graphics I've seen in agriculture where it talks, it shows the plant and, and then it shows that the nutrient need as it goes on. 02:21 And the idea that you're talking about is the people that are flinging out dry fertilizer in October or April and thinking that that handles it. 02:28 You've got so much demand two months before the combine runs. Yeah. So especially with farmers, That's my biggest takeaway 02:34 from nature's from all of the field days that I've worked. Well, and another thing, so there some, some of the, uh, 02:40 growers that have come to these field days, they came to not only one site, there was multiple growers that came through multiple sites. 02:48 Yep. So say they came to Chad's in May, they were able to take that information, go to their farm and use it. And here they are today, being able to talk about 03:00 what they've seen based on what they did. Some of the things, what we talked about at the field days. Absolutely. 03:05 The good part, everybody's asked questions. Yeah. Because they, it's practices that I don't think they, they're not as, they're not accustomed to doing that. 03:13 And so they're asking questions, how can I put this into my pro? Yeah. How does it work? You know? 03:16 Am my timing, is my timing. Right. 'cause it's all about the timing of application. That's right. To, to see if you are going to get the benefit 03:23 of what Chad Temple, Matt, everybody's getting. So, alright. Last thought on what you both learned at all these field days you go to, 03:30 because we're all still learning, uh, anything that was like, oh my, this is the biggest thing I've seen in five years. 03:36 Or is it more incremental? A full liquid program. A full liquid program? 'cause on my farm this year we run a soil warrior 03:43 and I went from a hundred pounds in, in a, in a 10 inch band to 175 pounds in a 10 inch band. 03:48 And the thing that has throwed me to a little curve is that how the response has been to a plant versus going in 03:54 with a liquid and we're feeding it then. So The point is you got a big benefit or you saw a little benefit. 04:00 I think I'll see more benefit with a full liquid program having a balanced soil profile that you're working with. 04:04 Yeah. And that's what these guys have like about base saturation, right. And very, and things like that. And also the soil health. 04:11 Yep. Biggest aha. Um, so going This, see, I, I was gonna tell you my biggest I'm go ahead. 04:18 Set you up while you're thinking, seeing a willingness to adopt and, and, and even attempt a full liquid program as opposed 04:27 to all the years that from grandpa on down where it was, you always, you always do this, you always do this. 04:32 And so there's a willingness, I think because of the economics to make a pretty wholesale change. In order to stay in this game we're in, we're gonna have 04:40 to change the way we practice. I think one of the big, and another big thing that Tommy mentioned when we're out here on the stop right 04:46 here, is that our, our ROS that we're putting in the soil and our microbials, our biologics, we're killing off. 04:53 Yeah. So we've got to keep, we've got to keep the whole concept in mind of what we're doing from start to finish 05:00 Time. Roach and Jason Worley coming at you. It's not just about what the people that come to our field days and the extreme ag members 05:06 and the people like you that are viewers learned. You know what, these people have worked in this industry their entire careers, and guess what? 05:11 I looked at 'em both. Neither of 'em are in their twenties. So they absolutely are still learning. And so am I. 05:16 And so are you. So thanks for joining us. Kind of putting a wrap here on Field Days for 2024. We've had five of 'em, very successful. 05:23 Again, you can check out the footage@extrememag.farm. Thanks for being here, and we hope to see you in 2025 on one of these awesome field days. 05:29 Also.
