00:00:00
Out here in North Carolina. I got my, uh, rep here, Mr. Clay Bean, and he is a old Illinois boy, come out here, wife wanted
00:00:07
to get a good education and says she's learning to be a doctor. And then you can have enough money with her salary to that.
00:00:14
You can stay in ag cider. That's right. I'll Just keep, I'll just keep through. Walking through soybeans. Yeah.
00:00:17
You keep walking through soybeans helping us growers make some money, but no seriously here in North Carolina,
00:00:24
you know, we got some very variable soils. You know, some places if you got two inches of top soil, you're doing really good.
00:00:30
Other places you might have two or three feet. Not many of them, most of 'em are down on the East coast, but um, we're in the Piedmont River Valley here.
00:00:37
Yaking, yaking River, and uh, so we're traditionally got high mag soils and, uh, very low calcium.
00:00:44
This farm here, we worked for years built getting that ratio inverted to where it needed to be, where we've got a better calcium to mag ratio
00:00:50
and we're about a seven to one calcium to mag now on these soils. But then you go eight inches in the ground
00:00:56
and then you go right back to that high mag. So, you know, it's always a battle trying to get the nutrients into the plant.
00:01:03
And sometimes with soil applied, you can't get so much when you got por soils. But then, and maybe it's gonna go in concrete.
00:01:10
Chad's talked about that a lot. You know, it is, they're going to build on it next two years and you don't wanna spend a bunch of money.
00:01:15
You guys, I've been, I have opportunity to use your capitalized product. It kind of come from this farm actually,
00:01:22
you know, Stephanie and I working on it. I kept wanting more calcium, more calcium or more potassium, excuse me,
00:01:27
more potassium and more calcium. And uh, so we went with that, capitalized and liberate calcium and uh, foliar
00:01:35
and it's really worked good. Tell us a little more about what you see across the state. You, you're in your second year here
00:01:41
and you, you stay busy as a bee and I can't hardly ever get a hold of you and you can't hardly ever get hold of these. That's
00:01:46
Right, that's Right. Very mutual situation. So big, Big biggest difference is rainfall, right? You you have tons
00:01:53
of more rain than I did back in Illinois and what, This year, last year we didn't. Well you still probably had more though.
00:01:58
Yeah, but biggest thing the rain's doing is it's leaching a lot of the ions, right? So even with soils like this
00:02:03
where we see potassium levels real high, we're seeing that those foliar applications of potassium still help. Yes sir. And we like the calcium
00:02:11
and sulfur that's in that capitalized to also help move stuff around. So we've had great success.
00:02:16
What would you say is the, you know, for me, if I'm, I really get a lot of bang out of a late season, uh, you know, closer in that R four range where I can get
00:02:24
that potassium and, and help and alpha boron and a little bit of everything in there to try to build that seed size.
00:02:30
What timing have you seen with your products that you fill out? Work best? We like that R one to R three and you hit boron.
00:02:36
That's a great one because in our soils it's coarser textures, low CEC, less boron in the ground. But when it comes to late season,
00:02:42
that borons gotta be moving to where it needs to be. And borons not mobile in the plant. So that's another reason we like to see boron in
00:02:50
that foliar late season. Reproductive, we know what boron does reproductive, so it's important to get it late. We're
00:02:56
In a tight economic time. We got a lot of guys that's going to the field right now in the state, especially in the south
00:03:02
with double crop soybeans and uh, they going to hit a late shot of fungicide to keep these things healthy.
00:03:08
What, what would you recommend as a good bang for your buck other than not have kudzu bugs? Well, the bugs are one thing,
00:03:14
but uh, capitalize is definitely a good investment on, on uh, the late season. What you talking to.
00:03:21
We typically see anywhere from one to three gallons. If we're really pushing it on double crop soybeans, we're probably not shooting for that.
00:03:27
Alright. Now the agronomy side, what would you see? Not the sell side. What would, I'm just, I just, nah, you pretty straight up on that.
00:03:34
I've tried pointing you a couple times. Well, And, and hey capitalize, like you said, it was kind of born and founded right here in these soils
00:03:41
and we've tested it on different applications. We've had it in the two by two. We've had it, uh, late season as well
00:03:47
and we've seen good return on investment. I think last year we had three gallons on the soybean, two by two and five gallons on the corn.
00:03:54
Yeah, both were great, great returns. And given that the year you had, you know, droughty, droughty year, lots of stress, I think that
00:04:00
that potassium really helped. Alrighty, well y'all welcome to come out here and look at these plots and to stay tuned with extreme ag.
00:04:08
And you can see the results of these plots this fall once they're harvested and they will be harvested, weighed individually
00:04:15
and they will be measured with a wheel individually. So it's not gonna be no yield monitor stuff, it's gonna be just exactly like a university trial.
00:04:22
And we'll have extension agents out here helping verify the yields on everything.
00:04:26
And that's just the way we like to do it and have certified yields. 00:04:30.315 --> 00:04:32.565
