So guys, here we are again, um, two months later, still dealing with the rain. And I'd love for for you to have some comments on this video
00:00:08
because we're at a loss. Again, as you can see behind me, this 80 acre field, uh, there's about 30 acres here.
00:00:14
I'm standing in, that's, I'm not gonna say they're dead, but they're close to dead.
00:00:20
The other part of the field is approaching R two and then now it's, you know, the first week of June, and we've got a third of the field that
00:00:29
that's gotta be replanting. There's a lot of disadvantages going into this. You know, as far as the replant number one,
00:00:34
you're gonna have two totally different ages of soybeans. Number two, when you're needing to irrigate the older beans,
00:00:41
which are up up top, you're gonna be flooding out the lower end, which are the small beans that don't need any more water.
00:00:47
Anyway, let's just give you a prime example. You know, this is up here on the top of the turn row. Don't mind the coffee beans.
00:00:55
And then as you slide closer to the drainage ditch, That's what we get into. What we've got is we got the bud gone,
00:01:06
and then we've got some little auxiliary buds coming out at the bottom of the plants.
00:01:10
So that's why I'd love to have comments on this video. If y'all been in this situation before. See, this one's got a, a new bud coming out down here.
00:01:19
I guess that would've been at the third node. And then another bud here, and then a little bitty leaf there.
00:01:25
So do we keep these for another week and see what happens? See, this one here has got a little auxiliary
00:01:32
branch coming out here. Uh, roots don't look real good. So question is, what do we do? This field was planted April 15th, so we're looking at,
00:01:42
you know, if we, if was there supposed to be a rain this weekend, it's too wet to get in here now. So if we catch the rain this weekend,
00:01:49
that we probably gonna get, you know, we could be June 15th getting in here. So that 60 days difference, the beans up top are 40 acres,
00:01:57
is our two bees down here are gonna be, you know, really small. That's gonna be really hard to manage.
00:02:03
Um, and this wasn't caused by one particular rain. This was caused by weekly floods or weekly rains, and they stood on the lower end.
00:02:12
So these beans were okay, the first flood, the second flood, as the temperatures rose, things got hotter sitting
00:02:19
underwater and hot water. Um, it just finally kind of finished them off. So we do, I do encourage you to, uh, comment on this video.
00:02:27
Let me know what you think because we're in uncharted 00:02:30.565 --> 00:02:30.765
