Farming Video | Matt Miles Tests R5 Soybean Timing with Nachurs

14 Jun 26

Matt Miles tests an earlier R5 soybean application timing in the Delta to see if better timing can beat the heat and add yield.

5+ Years - Grower Standard Practice

00:00:00 Guys, we can go step into about any field we want to and be in a soybean field that has Nature's products on it, or corn, either one. 00:00:09 I'm Matt Miles on behalf of XtremeAg. We're doing some trial work for Nature's. We continue to do trial work for Nature's, but we continue to have it as one of our 00:00:17 grower standard practices. In this particular field, we've had our R3 application done last week. We've been working on 00:00:25 that R5 application that Kevin, Chad, and some of those guys do, and I found out this year at a grower meeting from Kevin Matthews that we're 00:00:33 probably going a little late. We were trying to piggyback that with our R6 application of stink bug. That's normally when we have to hit stink bugs. 00:00:40 And I asked the question in the meeting to Kevin, I said, "What about when we're doing it?" He said, "We're too late." 00:00:48 Me and Mr. Tommy have been trying to figure that out. Is it the heat, or is it the timing, or what is it? So we've got some pretty good trials this year with Nature's, where 00:00:58 we're going to be going out at that late R4 to early R5 stage. We're going to be applying Moneyball, Finish Line, and definitely 00:01:06 Knockout, which is potassium acetate. We're going to do some combinations of different ones to see, can we pick up additional yield where that demand curve's the highest in the 00:01:15 Delta with the hottest part, the most heat we have? Can we make all that fit in? So we've tried it a couple of years in the past with limited to almost no success. 00:01:25 Think we were going too late when it's really hot. So this year, we're going to have some good trial work based on that R5 application, the timing being the right time, hopefully not have really hot 00:01:35 temperatures, and make it all work 00:01:37.019 --> 00:01:41.339
