Johnny Verell Extreme Ag. We're out here today at the field today getting ready for it to kick off.
00:00:04
And me and Chad were just talking about some things that, you know, that I did this year on my farm
00:00:07
that he's demoed in the past. And we were talking about seeing spray and seeing spray's been out for a few years.
00:00:12
You know, everybody's talked about it, does it work? Does it not work? And it was an eye opening experience for us on our farm.
00:00:17
You know, they've kind of changed some things up Deer has on how they build it, but Chad had always told me he was saving
00:00:22
about 60% is what he was saving. We saw the same thing. We actually saved closer to 70% on some farms. So for us it's been a big deal.
00:00:29
That's really a big saving, especially when the cost of some of the herbicides we're spraying right now and,
00:00:33
And it started, you know, with the one way they built it, you know, it was like, Hey, it's so many dollars an acre
00:00:37
and it was so much for corn and then so much for cotton and, and now they're building it.
00:00:41
It is your only build when it does not spray. Does not spray, which is, you know, which which is fair. Yeah. So we've been looking at some of this
00:00:48
and you don't really think about it. You run through the field until you start getting a map. Yeah. And you start looking at a map on it, you're like,
00:00:53
oh man, it really didn't run that much. We're looking at this map here and this, this actual map here, we actually saved about 75%
00:00:59
of the time it was not spraying. Yeah. Which blows my mind. It actually looks kind of bad
00:01:03
because what we did learn, if you go 12 miles per hour, the boom's gonna turn on all the way across, so you gotta make sure you do your
00:01:10
part and stay under 12 and Stay under the speed. Yeah. But other than that is pretty far. And what about the height on it?
00:01:15
Yeah, we are looking at the height. Ain't there a height range on it too? Yeah. Do you remember what that was?
00:01:19
I don't remember exactly what, we didn't have any issues with that. Like if we went over a terrace it would kick on. Yeah.
00:01:23
But going through the field it was always on. Looks like it should be. But you know, at the end of the day it's just amazing.
00:01:27
'cause what we couldn't ever figure out is how full do we fill the sprayer? Yeah. If we couldn't ever figure out how much we were fixing
00:01:31
to save, so we just started going, we were gonna save at least 60% and that's what we ran our numbers on and
00:01:35
That's what we Gonna run out. We were actually saving 65, 70% most time. And, and you know, if you get one
00:01:39
with a double tank on it, that's what I demoed one with a double tank and I, I had a, it, it would take a learning curve to figure out like,
00:01:45
Hey, what are we going to do? What are we gonna spray? You know, I know you run some of the double tank with some, with some fungicide
00:01:51
and fertilize, easy drop fertilize, easy drop. So that, that, that worked real well as well. So there's, we're, as us as farmers are finding out,
00:01:58
we got way more uses than what I think they had engineers thought that they would use it for. So it's been real good.
