00:00:00 So one of the questions that we get from the members with a economy on grain commodity prices where they are is we're seeing more intentions 00:00:10 of going corn on corn versus corn behind soybeans that are typical rotations that you have throughout the us. So when you do that, you need 00:00:18 to be thinking you're definitely going to have a little bit of a yield lag. There's no question about it, 00:00:22 but at the bottom line it's ROI to what puts money in your bank in a positive way. The corn on corn is something that we've done 00:00:31 for years here in the River Valley. We do that because of the flooding issues. Our best yields is always going to be rotating corn 00:00:39 and soybeans, but it is an absolute must to protect that plant as early on as you can. And by doing that, we want to put a fungicide in our tub 00:00:50 by two at planting and get a season long control because it's easier to prevent it than it is to cure it because once you got it, it can be a bear 00:01:00 regardless of the disease. And lo and behold, if you're in a tar spot area, that's even worse. 00:01:05 So the healthier that plant is, the better off it can defend different viruses that come 00:01:11 after it to attack it, whatever they may be. Gray leaf spots, uh, northern Southern, anything it, it's all of it. 00:01:19 It's just like an athlete. You gotta build that athlete up. He's gotta train and practice and get better and stronger 00:01:24 and stronger and stronger and it starts day one and that's how it is with this corn crop. So if you're thinking about going corn behind corn, 00:01:33 I strongly urge you to look into a fungicide. Full season protection, like the XY way. That's what's proven to us. 00:01:42 I highly recommend it in a two by two. I will say we have tried it in the infer with a select shot system 00:01:50 where we did not put it on the seed and we had success. However, it's risky. So I highly recommend following the label 00:01:59 and doing it in a two by two fashion. We get a lot of questions. How does it mix with, how does it play with other chemicals? 00:02:04 We've had no issues, no with fertilizers, insecticides that we've put in that we've tried on our farm. We've not had any issues whatsoever on compatibility. 00:02:14 It just goes right in, it's easy to use. Jugs are easy to rinse out. That's not an issue. So if you have any questions 00:02:20 and you are thinking that you're definitely going to go corn on corn this year, I strongly suggest you get where your FMC representative. 00:02:28 Talk to some of us at extreme Ag and uh, see if we can help you understand how this would fit into your program 59 00:02:35.305 --> 00:02:37.365
