Hey guys, Jacob here with Live Oak Ag. I'm Grace. And today we're gonna discuss the results we got from the planter performance test that we did
00:00:07
with the flags back in the spring. Uh, got our day one ear, got our day four ear and grace. And I have got some information that we're gonna give you
00:00:14
and also put on the screen where everybody can read the different numbers. We got, what was our day one, uh, projected yield,
00:00:22
Um, 2 48, Day 2, 2 33. Day 3, 2 38, And day 4, 2 12. Okay, so all respectable numbers. What was our, what was our anticipated average, right?
00:00:39
2 33. The good part about that is we had 72 ears that we counted, uh, among these two rows, 13 foot nine inches, which fits a 38 inch situation
00:00:49
to measure a thousand of a there. The yield that we got off the field through the scales was 2 33.
00:00:56
So we, in this particular instance, projected the yield for this field. Now the good part about this is we got some numbers that go
00:01:04
with this, basing it on a $4 and 25 cents corn. I realize that it could be different whenever you're seeing this video, but
00:01:10
for right now we're looking at $4 and 25 cents corn on the board. So the, the day one we ended up with a $64
00:01:17
and 24 cents average above the projected yield. Day two was $2 and 21 cents, a little bit less, but a, a positive return on planter maintenance.
00:01:30
Day three was $21 and 5 cents. Now, can you tell 'em what this number is? This is day four. And remember the all of it,
00:01:40
87 and 49 cents. Negative. Negative. So they lost money on the day four ear versus the day one ear, didn't they?
00:01:49
So whenever we were looking at this and we were talking about this is what happens whenever you do some planter maintenance
00:01:55
and make sure all your corn comes up in those first couple of days, you get a positive return on your money,
00:02:02
I think. Yes, Sir. So how important is that? Do you want money in your piggy bank or outta your piggy bank?
00:02:07
And so you never want me to take money outta your piggy bank? Exactly. Okay.
00:02:12
So what we're looking at today, guys, is, is the opportunity of doing planter performance and planter maintenance
00:02:18
and doing your flag test to make sure that you've got good per planter performance. So you can hopefully end up making money
00:02:25
and end up with more of these ears and with these ears. 'cause these ears don't work, do they? Mm-hmm. This is a negative here, isn't it? Yes.
00:02:32
And that's a positive here, isn't it? That's positive. This is negative. Exactly. So we'll put this up on
00:02:37
the screen where everybody can read it. 00:02:38.405 --> 00:02:39.845
