Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extreme Ag. We're out here today. I'm very excited with the trial we're putting in it's Pivot Bio.
00:00:06
This is Alex Obermeyer, an agronomist from Pivot Bio. He doesn't live too far from me. It's the first time we've met, but we know some
00:00:12
of the same people, so I'm excited here. We're out here west of Dunlap on a farm, uh, no-till corn on corn.
00:00:18
Um, you know, there's been a lot of conversation between Alex and I about my nitrogen rate. Uh, we, our variable rate nitrogen,
00:00:25
it's anhydrous 80 to 180. 80 to 200 pounds is the variable rate where we're putting on the pivot.
00:00:32
We've dropped it to 40 pounds because we wanna find out how low can we go, the 40 pounds plus the pivot.
00:00:38
We're gonna have 40 pounds without the pivot. We're gonna put some pivot on areas that have 80 pounds in the higher
00:00:44
yielding areas, things like that. You know, I've started to work with our cattle and our corn on nutrient density, you know,
00:00:50
some nutrient dense beef, nutrient dense corn, the health, the taste of the, of those products,
00:00:55
be it the grain or the crop. So I'm super excited to see how low of nitrogen can I get. And we, now we've not even talked about the input savings.
00:01:03
Alex, can you tell us, uh, this is a newer product that we're using. What do you, what can you tell us
00:01:07
about the product today? Yeah, So this is actually gonna be really exciting this year 'cause this will be our G three product
00:01:12
that we'll actually be able to be sold in the 26 growing season. Uh, so we've got multiple demos kind
00:01:17
of across the territory this year, but really kind of testing the limits of it, finding out what else we can learn from it.
00:01:23
The G three comes from additional microbes as well as third generation as well. So it's very exciting for pivot
00:01:28
'cause we're starting to move the mark even further than what we have and gonna, you know, try
00:01:33
to cut down more nitrogen that we can. It's super exciting for me because to me nutrient density
00:01:39
is 95% assimilation of nitrogen in the plant. And because of all the nitrogen that our soil releases that we have organically here, which the Pivot's gonna help
00:01:48
with, it's hard for me to get to that. It's hard for me to get to 95% assimilation. I very much wanna find the bottom of the synthetic I can get
00:01:56
to because of the cost savings and because of the nutrient density and the balance in the plant.
00:02:02
And so this is one of the trials that I'm most excited about this year for all the trials we're putting in.
00:02:07
What are we gonna find out here because we're in uncharted territory? Well, and it's gonna be pretty exciting with this trial
00:02:12
'cause we'll have some VRT scripts out here where we're really dropping our synthetic nitrogen extremely low.
00:02:17
So we're gonna truly get to see what these microbes can do and kind of help boost your yields as well with it.
00:02:21
That's exactly what I'm talking about. We'll be through here throughout the season. Like I said, Alex isn't that far away.
00:02:26
We can come up here, look at the field, compare things. We're gonna have two or three side-by-side out here. 00:02:31.035 --> 00:02:32.355
