00:00:00
So a lot of people ask me, you know, what, what do we do at R three on soybeans? And, uh, you know, one of the cool things about some
00:00:07
of these products that we use, we don't have to worry about extra applications. We're standing in our, uh, nature's high yield soybean plot.
00:00:14
And these beans are actually R three beans. So R three beans, if you count down or you count down four nodes and the pod is three sixteenths
00:00:23
or bigger, you call it R three. Well, you can, you probably can't see this pod right here, but it's probably close to a half inch.
00:00:30
So we're a full R three, if not a little bit past R three. We've had tremendous amount of range,
00:00:37
not all the time heavy range, just like this last, the last 12 days, we've been in the field one and a half days.
00:00:43
So timing's been a little bit of an issue, but we're still on time on this field. The cool thing about these nature's products is, you know,
00:00:50
they piggyback, they have a free ride. And so when we're putting out our, um, our post chem pass, you know, we're able to put a product in there to, uh,
00:00:58
just kind of build it up a micronutrient pack. On this R three application, we're fixing to run a, uh, gallon and a half a knockout.
00:01:06
We're gonna run a quar to finish line and a pint and a half of, uh, money ball. So those are three nature's products we've done
00:01:13
really, really good with. So all those products will be mixed in on this R three pass, which actually will have a herbicide in here too.
00:01:20
It won't be nothing major. It'll be just an application of glyphosate to uh, kind of control any grass that might come up in it, you know,
00:01:27
or might be some sprigs of grass up or something we missed on our po on our second post Chemp Pass.
00:01:32
So, free ride, very decent. ROI on on these products. Uh, we all need micronutrients. We overlook those sometimes where a lot
00:01:40
of the guys in the Midwest soybeans are kind of a means to a rotation for a corn crop. That's the way we were in the past with a means
00:01:48
for a rotation to a bean crop. We didn't rotate a lot of beans in the cotton because cotton was just
00:01:53
what you had to plant to make a living. That's one thing. If you'll treat these soybeans like you treat your corn crop or you treat your cotton crop,
00:02:00
pay attention to 'em, do the things to 'em, you know, make sure you've got the micronutrients there. You've got drainage, you've got, you know,
00:02:06
the right varieties and really pay attention to what a soybean crop can do. It can go upwards of 80 bushels pretty easy.
00:02:12
So we'll keep you posted on this field all year. We've got high hopes for it, even though we've had some really bad weather.
00:02:19
The beans have actually fared pretty good. Tissue samples are showing everything, you know, sufficient to above sufficient.
00:02:25
So if we can take this R three pass and load it up with fertility, we'll also apply fungicide for frogeye leaf spot.
00:02:32
But if we can take these fertility products from nature's and keep those tissue levels
00:02:37
above sufficient like we are now, you know, once you see a tissue sample and it says sufficient, you say, well, I'm okay.
00:02:43
It's just beans. But this, this crop will start tanking as it's putting on pods. We've got several pods at the bottom here, you know,
00:02:50
that are two inches long. These are gonna tank the, the micros and the nutrients in the plant
00:02:56
and the products like Finish Line Moneyball and Knockout will, uh, will keep that, that fertility up. 00:03:02.815 --> 00:03:04.455
