Hi, this is Kelly Gibb from Extreme Ag. We're standing out here at my field day today talking with Ryan Harson of Agro Liquid,
00:00:06
and we're just discussing the importance of the approach of your two by two. Most farmers just wanna put nitrogen in the two by two,
00:00:14
maybe splash a little sulfur in on our farm. It's a wide array. It's, it's almost every nutrient that we can get, all
00:00:20
of the micronutrients because I need to have that balanced approach, you know, the mineral balance that we're trying to seek,
00:00:25
the nitrogen assimilation that we're chasing, things like that. Ryan, what do you find to be important,
00:00:30
good or bad about that approach? So, well, what's great about that approach is that two by two gives you a little bit more flexibility
00:00:35
than some of the in furrow does. So things you've done out here before and done some stuff with us has been zinc and calcium.
00:00:41
Right? That's a great place to put that in with the nitrogen while you're making that pass. That way you can kind of spoon feed
00:00:47
that crop along as you're going. I would agree with you on the approach of the, uh, a little, a little better approach or easier approach.
00:00:53
'cause in furrow we can burn some things, right? Uh, in furrow we can have too big of a rate at times. It's easier to put more gallons out there. Yep.
00:01:00
Easier to put more products out there. We don't have to worry about burning that seed. Yeah. We, uh, we very much try to keep up
00:01:07
with the nitrogen released to the soil here and that those micronutrients are what we need to spoon feed throughout the season.
00:01:12
It all starts with the planter, right. And then it goes on to the sprayer and goes onto the airplane or the drone later on season.
00:01:18
Uh, for me, spoon feeding nitrogen is the last thing I need to do. Right. I need to spoon feed all those micronutrients.
00:01:23
The two by two is a great place to start that job. Well, you know, and you talked about potentially having some seedling in furrow, right?
00:01:29
So this is a great place to put some of that sulfur, some of that potassium. Even some of that phosphorus load can
00:01:34
go with that in that two by two. So it's a very versatile application that you can get a lot of those nutrient needs for that upfront nutrition met
00:01:41
In our soils here. You know, temple and Matt always wanna talk about how great the soil is.
00:01:44
And it is, but it does present some challenges and there are base saturation challenges. Yep. And the ability
00:01:50
and some of these tougher base saturation areas to have available in nutrition is really kind of hard to accomplish at times.
00:01:56
So putting some of that base nutrition in that two by two is a great place to start and keep it available until the plant uses it.
00:02:02
Absolutely. And that, that brings up another great point, right? Using a, using a soil test early to make some
00:02:05
of these determinations, that's another great place to again, stick some of these nutrients to, to help with that deficiency on that soil test to help you get up
00:02:13
and going for that season's crop. I, and I, I think that brings up another great point for growers that two by two is gonna shine more
00:02:20
or have a bigger ROI in a tough field versus a high yield area. Everybody wants to push their high yield areas
00:02:26
or experiment there and it's a lot of fun. Yeah. You know, but if you're looking for an ROI, this kind of applications in a tough base saturation area in your
00:02:34
crappiest field will probably return the most money to your bottom line. 00:02:37.785 --> 00:02:38.665
