00:00:00 Hey y'all. It's Chad Henderson with Extreme Ag and we're out here today in a harvested cornfield. Okay. You know, a lot of times we look at cornfield 00:00:06 and everybody's looking at, oh man, that looks good. There's nothing better for me than when the it's gone. You know, we finally, now we got some money, 00:00:12 we got some something for our hard work. So we are here today and we just want 'em to take a look. We're gonna look at this breakdown products, you know, 00:00:18 that we put out with a bio, eight hundred's, what we put out here. And we're not gonna say, Hey, this is where we put it at. 00:00:23 We're just representing, this is where the field is. We got some good data coming. We replicated this 40 acres right here with Wholeganics, 00:00:31 no wholeganics, and a couple more products and my normal program. So, and it was all strip trial in. So, any more questions? 00:00:38 Anything about what we did here, Caleb? What we was trying to prove? No, it looked good in spring when we were out here 00:00:44 and dug, I think Temple was here. Temple was here. He was pulling up a lot of stalks in the, in the organic corn. I didn't like that. 00:00:50 What was, what was, what was he out here saying? Y'all cherry picking, y'all cherry picking. You know, he'd give Johnny Rail big, big, 00:00:55 hard time about cherry picking, but, uh, we went every time he cherrypicked and we pulled, but that day we pulled, come in here 00:01:00 and we run your, uh, talk about the meter we run on it, the Crystal Labs probe. 00:01:04 And um, then we did a microbiome meter test and a leaf tank. Yep. What kind of things were you seeing 00:01:10 when you were out here in the field? Like what kind of results were those things telling you? Yep. So the bio 800 was working, yeah. 00:01:16 I had to, we had healthier plants. The healthier soil made the healthier plants. And, And I don't remember, you sent me, 00:01:21 you had it on your phone earlier about us, you know, but we increased on, uh, most all the numbers and especially on the leaf tissue numbers. Yeah. 00:01:28 It was good carbon, The organic carbon. So we'll have all those to share with y'all, you know, we'll be able to put that up. 00:01:33 We put the video up, we can put that paper up as well, you know, where everybody gets a good number of what we read. 00:01:37 Then we look forward to spraying some breakdown on this right here. And we're gonna leave some strips in it, 00:01:42 spray some breakdown, see if we can get these stalks on further down. We'll plant wheat right back here on top of this. Yeah. 00:01:48 So this'll be good to see how the wheat goes in. And I'll Tell you, you know, you put the life back in the soil, 00:01:53 the soil starts to work for you better. Yep. You do one application, it gets better. You do two applications, it gets better. 00:01:57 You do three, it gets better. It's all about building that, that flywheel approach. 00:02:01 Yep. Of, of soil health. That's what, that's what organic does for you each year. You'll see it in yield, you'll 00:02:06 see it when you look at the plants. So I'm looking forward to, to seeing the numbers when they come out. 00:02:09 And we'll see it in a bunch of different trials You did. Yep. And, uh, and this is, 00:02:12 these are the fields and we'll get the data And then that's what we do here. 00:02:15.885 --> 00:02:18.245
