00:00 Johnny Vare with Extreme A. We do things a little bit different than, um, most farmers do as far as across the country, but we, uh, 00:08 we sidedress our corn with our sprayers. We use a, uh, four nozzle stream bar. It shoots down four individual streams at one time. Um, 00:16 we put anywhere from 40 gallons to 80 gallons out depending on if it's irrigated or dry land or the potential of that soil. So we kind of do that and it, 00:25 and to help mitigate that burn that can be associated with spraying 32% on corn. That's, you know, V4 V five. 00:32 We've add a 12% humic to it and we run a stabilizer in it, but for us it just really works well. Um, you look at today, 00:39 the soil type is extremely heavy. We got rain here, um, two days ago about an inch of rain. So if we were trying to knife corn right now, 00:47 we wouldn't be able to do it because we don't put our post emerge out. So we'd be messing it up. The tractor would probably be slipping some, even, 00:54 even running duals or anything like that. But the main reason we do it is for 20 inch corn, which we're on, it's the easiest way for us to get across the corn and to tear up the least 01:02 amount. So we didn't do this originally. Some of our neighbors were doing it and we did a study on it on our farm for about two years before we made the swap. And we compared it to knifing, 01:13 to stream bar and to wide drop. And for us, in our environment, our soil type for us, 01:19 we see really there's no bushel difference on yield in between the three different types of applications. It's just what works best. And for us, 01:26 we're running 120 foot booms. And like I said, we're this field here, we're running 60 gallons to the acre. We got real high humidity today, uh, 01:33 temperatures in the mid eighties. So if we're gonna have a burn, it'll be on a day like today when the sun's, uh, real bright, 01:39 the temperatures are hot and the humidity's high. But the big thing that we've learned over the years is never spray a herbicide like Hax or anything like that the same day as you spray the fertilizer. 01:51 Especially, don't put the herbicide out first. It causes the, uh, fertilizer to stick to the leaves a lot worse, 01:58 and it really melts on that corn leaf and burns it real bad. But we get very little burn as long as we're done by V five going into v6, 02:05 we can get a little more burn and it, and we have seen a yield loss going after v6, not a bill, mid yield loss if it's a weather issue and we can't get across the ground. 02:14 But there is a yield loss it seems like, on our ground at after v6. So just gotta give you an idea of what we do. Had a lot of questions about it. 02:21 Um, some of the other guys with extreme ag have asked me how we're doing it, how we don't get a, a burn, how we don't get a yield loss. 02:27 I'm not gonna say we don't get a burn, but it's a very minor burn as long as you run that humic acid with it. And we put a good stabilizer in there also. And also run these stream bars. 02:35 You wanna run the least amount of pressure you can. So we're trying to run in that 40 50 psi at most, trying to stay under 40 where we can, but it has 60 gallons. 02:44 I think my sprayers are running close to 15 miles per hour trying to keep that pressure around 40 psi. Like I said, for us it's a good fit. 02:51 We tried it for several years before we implement it across the whole farm. I would really recommend for you doing that on your farm before you go 02:57 widespread with it, Because maybe it's the conditions we're in versus where other parts of the country are. But for us across west Tennessee, this is done on several acres. 03:06 You know, it's just a, a good, easy way for us to get across and not disturb the soil if we've already put our pre-emerged and post emerge out. 03:13 It's just a good way to get across in a hurry also. So, like I said, we're running about 15 miles per hour, running about 60 gallons to the acre. 03:20 And, uh, our sprayer holds 1200 gallons, so that's not, you know, 20 acre loads is a pretty good deal for us. So thank y'all.
