00:00:00
All right folks. We're here at the end of the season. We've got our soybeans cut, we've got our corn cut, everything's harvested.
00:00:06
What little crop we got this year's into bin corn was very disappointing. The worst year of corn I've ever growed since 1998.
00:00:15
Uh, a lot of products that we know maybe was a game changer over the years that some of 'em didn't show out as good this year as others,
00:00:23
but the one that stood right by us that, uh, continuously kept us in the ball game where we had a little bit of moisture nutri charge.
00:00:31
One of the things I like about the Nutri charge is our soils are low in phosphorus.
00:00:35
That's a benefit to me. It helps bring those low fo, low phosphorous. The availability of that low phosphorous soils,
00:00:43
it actually brings it out more to where the plants can utilize and metabolize the phosphorus. And I actually personally think it's bringing other
00:00:52
nutrients along because if I look at the amount of synthetic fertilizers I apply when I'm using these type products, I'm cutting back on it.
00:01:03
I'm being very, very efficient and I'm protecting waterways. My streams, we're right here on the bank
00:01:08
of the Yakkin River right now. We're, um, three quarters of a mile north of the, uh, water intake pipe for the city of Winston-Salem.
00:01:16
And it's very important to me that I protect this waterway. And that is one of the products that we use,
00:01:23
that we keep all the fertility in our fields. We don't have to put no excess fertility. You can see in the tree behind me, you can see
00:01:30
where the flood debris got up from Hurricane Helene. Of course, it got a lot higher. And what you see right there,
00:01:36
when we have these extra floods, we're going to take it out of our fields and we're, it is going to hurt.
00:01:42
We know we're gonna lose some phosphorus. However, what we're trying to avoid is just having to put copious amounts out there
00:01:48
that are not necessary to grow a crop. When I can add products like Nutri charge in and offset that amount.
00:01:55
But this is our fourth year going into our fourth year with UltraCharge, uh, 2025. It'll be a grower standard just like it was in 2024.
00:02:05
One thing I do want to do differently for 2025 is I actually want to go ahead and do another test with and without and see
00:02:14
'cause in 2024, we just used it across the board. We, we did not hold back every acre of corn, every acre of soybeans got nutri charge put in for a but
00:02:23
before you do something like that on your farm, I really want you to try the product, do you some with and without test,
00:02:29
and see if it's something that'll fit into your program, because I can't tell you you're gonna get the same response
00:02:35
in your soils that we've been able to see in Piedmont, North Carolina, in this River Valley. 00:02:40.615 --> 00:02:41.245
