00:00 Hey y'all, this is Chad Henderson with Extreme Ag and we're standing here in our reallocation plot. Me and Tommy here, we're doing one 00:07 and this is a dry land part of the field. And we're had, we've got three different blends of dry fertilizer. 00:12 Again, this is strip tilled here. So we've got three different blends of dry fertilizer and then we gonna reallocate what we didn't spend in the dry 00:20 into either infer a tub by two herbicide pass, foer, fungicide, you name it, wide drop. We're gonna reallocate it. Wide dropping. So, 00:28 So we started out with, on that side over there, we started out with 150 pounds pre-plant strip till. And we don't get to spend any more money the rest 00:38 of the year except for, except for nitrogen. We'll put nitrogen on. But that's all we get to spend the rest of the year because 00:44 We're looking at, what we're talking about here is $4, $5 corn. Right? That's what is real world right now. 00:50 And so that's where our number's at and why Tommy says we can't spit no money because at 150 pounds we was somewhere 00:57 around $45 is what we spent in fertility. You Know? So if the reason why we want to do this is the problem 01:05 that a lot of people have is they will spend, they'll blow all their fertilizer budget up front. Yep. And then if you get a good year, I've already spent it, 01:14 so I can't, can't do anything the rest of the year. So kind of the one thing we wanna show is what happens if we relocate 01:22 or reallocate some of those pounds of dollars to where we can target periods of influence during the season. But 01:29 You have to be committed. Absolutely. Well, 'cause I promise you we're short. We're gonna be short. The corn plants look great 01:36 and they're still here, but you know, this beautiful corn plant ain't what we sell. Right. So, you know, we have to be committed in that. 01:43 Yeah. Uh, talking about we don't sell plant unless you're silage dairy farmer. That's right. Then you sell plant. 01:49 But we get No, we get paid nothing extra for producing the sexy plant. We want to fertilize the plant, not fertilize the bulk soil. 01:59 That's exactly right. That's right. That's why we are here on this farm. We're strip tilling. That's why we do wide drop. 02:04 That's why we have infer or two to two, either or, you know, that's what we got going. So with our first one over there with all of these here, 02:12 we have zero infer on it. Right. There's no infer on any of this plot here. It's only tub by two is what we got. 02:19 And Tommy didn't want me putting two by two down. I said, look Tommy, I can't do it. I just, I can't do it. So we just put, he 02:25 Wasn't fully committed, so I wasn't Fully committed, you know, it's just so far I'm gonna let him take me. 02:30 So we did put nitrogen in the tupa two by two across all this. But then over here on the, on the a hundred pound pre-plant, 02:38 then we can add NP and K and some micros in the two by two. Then you come over to the 50 pound, guess what? 02:45 We get to do the same thing. Add NPK micros on the two by two. But now we get to add fertility in the herbicide pass. 02:53 We get to add more fertility in the Y drop. And what we're doing is targeting known periods of influence. 03:00 Because as the herbicide pass, guess what's happening? We're making, we're making rounds on the air. Yep. You get later. It's, 03:07 It's, it's our V four V five round. Absolutely. Then you get later in the wide drop pass, say V eight to 10 to 12, guess what we're doing there? 03:15 Yep. Influence We're make, we're making how many kernels we're gonna have on that ear. So guess what, we in this 50 pound spot here, we get 03:23 to that more fertility then. Yep. Yep. We, I mean we have a few weeds, you know what we'd call weeds? 03:28 We have a few plants that's, that's not up to par. And you going, you gonna get them. It might be in a seed coming, it probably wouldn't shed 03:33 No, it's always Nothing you did farmer. It's never the farmer. It's always a seed company or it's a fertilizer company or maybe just sunshine. It's 03:40 Never the fertilizer Company. It's never the fertilizer company. It's never the farmer. Definitely than the 03:44 Seed company. That's right. So if you look here, look, I wanna point out this. So if you look here at this plant here, 03:51 there's, don't know what happened. Could be, could be seed, uh, seed treatments on the corn. Could have been plant depth, could have been depth. 03:59 But this, we call this, even though it's corn plant, we, we call it a weed now 04:04 because what's gonna happen is this plant here, it won't produce a ear. It will rob nutrition. 04:11 It'll rob moisture from these two plants here. So we would be better off. It's funny, we sit down right here, 04:17 but we're actually missing a plant on this side. Yep. You know, so it's, so we'd be better off to be like this and just have a wided gap. 04:24 Right. Because then these will fill in, this'll be a nice area, right? Because these, if you get right moisture 04:29 conditions, right. Environment, heck, these two plants may produce a double. Yeah, same thing over there. 04:36 But this, this is gonna be a weed. So that's funny that we sit here and there's this hole here and then there's a bad weed there 04:41 and there's the same thing over there. So it kinda makes you wonder what was going on here. Maybe it was operator here, 04:48 Blame Jackson. Yeah, let's blame that. We started this venture back four months ago, Four months ago. You know, we 04:56 planned this, so, and We planned this. So we know where we at, we know where the prices are going to be. 05:00 You know, obviously we hope we was wrong on that, you know, but, but we know where the prices are going to be and, 05:05 and we're, we're making plans for it. And we're making, this is what we do is do these trials so that we know when the prices run up 05:12 or down, we know where to Land. One thing you've said you have to have a plan when you start out 05:17 and you have to stick to it. Yeah. What Mike Tyson say, I don't Know. Everybody had a plan 05:22 until they got punched in the mouth. That's true.
