One of the highest increases in cotton yield we have seen
Matt says his beans and corn did not yield significantly positive or negative returns, essentially breaking even, but cotton showed a notably positive outcome with the applications of Source.
00:00 So we've wrapped up our, uh, sound ag plots and got all of our data in on those. It was pretty impressive. 00:06 We think we found a bright spot on beans and corn. It was pretty much just, you know, not, not a, not a really positive return, not a negative. 00:13 It just kind of broke even. What we did find, though, is a positive spot in the cotton. We're still trying to figure this out in 00:19 the southeast here in the delta. We, we, we struggle with products working, you know, and showing a lot of positive return in the grains. 00:26 Where we are seeing some, some super positive returns on a lot of these products is in, is in our cotton. 00:32 This year was a big, bright spot with the, with the source from Sound Ag. We put it out within insect two insecticide applications, 00:39 one at Pinhead Square and one at First Bowl. You could see a difference in the cotton during the year. Uh, we thought we could see a little bit 00:45 of difference in the bowl counts in, in the, in the plot versus non-pilot. What we did see is one of the highest increases in, 00:53 in applying a product yield return. We've seen one of the highest increases we've ever seen. We got 150 pounds increase in, uh, in the cotton 01:02 where the source was applied. Now this was put in probably the worst field, uh, situation that we have. 01:07 It, it's the, the lowest yielding field cotton field we have on our farm. Uh, it's got really bad spots. 01:13 Uneven, you know, you'll be at three bales on one spot in the field and you'll be at a bale and a half in the other. 01:18 So very inconsistent field. You can pick the plot out on the yield mount, just like, I mean, a third grader could pick 01:25 the plot out on the yield mount. So, very excited about that. Uh, still wanna do some more work with it. 01:30 Still wanna try to figure out if we can make it work in, uh, in the corn and the beans. 01:35 But it is a, it is a promising product that we're looking at that we've gotten good results on the cotton.
