00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Garrett coming to you today with a problem we have with weed control. Weeds continue to get harder and harder to kill. 00:06 We are continually tweaking and changing our weed control program with Mike Windrow of Integrated Ag helping us. 00:12 He is our weed control specialist. He's the guy we go to with the chemical type problems with. His chemistry is always evolving, things like that 00:19 to help us with the weeds. In the past couple years, Wingrow has helped us treat the water switch adjuvants. We put fulvic acid into everything that goes out now, 00:27 be it a chemical program or a foliar program. And today we're talking about some new products coming from FMC. 00:33 We've used authority branded products for a long time now. We also have Anthem Max. 00:37 This is a program we're gonna try with FMC this year 'cause we've got overlapping residuals. Windrow is gonna explain to us how it works. 00:44 Yeah, so, like he said, mentioned, we use authority, the authority first, um, authority branded products before we've had great luck with them, 00:51 but we, we have seen some escapes here and there and we're looking to get some overlapping residual using these new products. 00:58 They sent. We got the dual dual mode, um, dual group herbicides with these, and we were, we were excited to try 'em. 01:06 I think most farmers, you know, they spray their pre and they, they don't want to go out and spray again until they see four or five inch Swedes. 01:13 We need to rely more on our residual products as we have here today and let them do the work. We, we don't wanna wait to spray, 01:20 we wanna spray early and often. And when it's coming to a chemical program and we're talking about controlling weeds, 01:26 weight is definitely a four letter word. Yes. If we wait too long, obviously the weeds get tougher to kill. 01:32 Um, the resistance in the weeds we have you, you have to look at different programs, different, um, escape routes like so to say, to kill the weeds. 01:41 So we need to go out, you know, pray, spray our pre, and then 21 days later let's go out and spray the post with our residual. 01:48 Get those residuals overlapped and rely on the product to do its Job. As farmers, we 01:54 try to wait as long as possible to make sure we have a control. We don't want to have to come back. 01:58 Of course, that's why we need to choose a good residual program so we don't have to come back. 02:01 But we also need to use the product, be it a chemical program, a foliar program for what it's intended for. 02:06 When we kind of get outside that circle of the, what the product intended use is, and then the product doesn't 02:12 work, we wanna blame the product. Right. And that's what waiting to spray is. We're getting too far away from 02:17 what the window was designated to be as a farmer. We need to use the product, what it's intended for, and you're gonna have much better 02:22 luck. Much better success. Absolutely. And we need to be more proactive with all our chemistries 02:27 and get, like, like you said, get out there early. Often we like to go out and scout after we did our pre and wait as long as possible. 02:34 You know, canopy helps with weed control, but we need to get that residual out there and then let, let it do its job. 02:40 Then the canopy can take over and A little easier, easier to kill than big weeds and things like weather can happen, things like that. 02:45 Uh, sprayers can break down, but by and large, we need to be out there early and often. We need to let the product do its job 02:51 and we need to use the product, what it's intended for to have the best success. We can Absolutely.
