00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extreme Ag out here in a bean field today, Richie's out here with our four 12 sprayer with the sea and spray. 00:07 We're just cleaning up a few weed escapes and, uh, I'm very excited. I waited till today to do this video. 00:13 We didn't even know if this would work. We didn't know if the sea and spray technology would capture the weeds when the beads were 00:20 starting to canopy this far. However, I wanted to try this because this is the time 00:25 of year when the escapes show themselves and you need to go out and clean 'em up. So we went out here today. It worked perfectly. 00:31 You know, the cameras, the sensors, they were picking everything up and we're, we're cleaning up this field. 00:36 It's so fascinating to me that this technology works. I would say the three biggest pieces of technology in my time have been auto steer, 00:45 the automatic row clutch, you know, for the planters. And now the sea and spray technology. Margins continue to get tighter. 00:52 Labor gets more and more scarce. This product saves us money because it saves chemical. And Richie can spray a lot more during the day. 00:59 We don't have to fill as often, you know, depending on how many escapes are out there. He might be able to spray all day on one tank. 01:05 You know, I've heard of people doing that before. Really excited for the efficiency and the cost savings that this product provides. 01:10 I can't wait to use 'em more.
