00:00 That stream Mac food report here. Today. We're Pontiac Illinois. We're at the Precision plant in PTI Farm. 00:06 Got Mr. Tommy Roots here with Natures. But Chad Henderson. We do a lot of experiments for nature on our Farms Mr. 00:15 Tommy. He likes to get a broad representation of what's going on on across the United States see what products works and then we tell them which ones don't work, 00:24 which he says he has always works always will never know. But anyhow, comment down below a little bit. 00:30 what to do right here So there's a lot of cropping system studies here. A lot of fertility systems studies here. 00:38 We're standing in front of that for most of us looks kind of weird. But it it's kind of neat when you think about the mechanics 00:49 of it. We still got to figure out how in the world we're gonna harvest the logistics the whole Logistics of it horn and that means we 00:58 got still got to figure that out. But you know, welcome. This is it's got this is exactly where I fit in because I'm always 01:04 here we're Brown seal, and I'm still trying to figure out a harvest it but you know, I got a few weeks left, so I'm good. Don't let that small thing in. I 01:14 just love that. It's just a little things again a little bit Rose above the road. But Jason Webster is done 01:20 a fabulous job. If you're ever in the area, you really need to come out and see because this is a this is unbiased report on what your products do is I'm gonna tell you 01:29 this is the first time I've been able to make it. I've been up here for the winter conference, you know, but this first time I bet up make it appear and I'm I'm 01:35 amazed at the amount of work that goes in it again. We do try work here at extreme mag. And and we do a lot of stuff this this they look 01:44 real bad on my trial work, you know, it's not good. But no joke. I mean the amount of work that Jason and his interns and 01:54 the people up here put in and and if y'all ever get a chance great information great showcase and and you need to make it one of you trips. That's 02:03 for sure. This is like the mega of Plot work trial work systems from strip tilling to dry fertilized broadcast all 02:13 the way to all kind of inferior setups to the two setups simulating mess ups simulate mess ups had a plot over there where they planted corn 02:22 at literally up to half inch or one inch three quarters. But anyway up to one each deep, you know, I mean, it's just all kind of stuff going on. They got no Rawson. They got no 02:31 red face and you The worst thing on farm. He said well you seen it. That's like I ain't seen nothing bad yet. You know, it's come down. 02:39 Here's a clause. Yeah. I mean I got I don't look I took y'all. I've got my backpack. I dumped all my clothes out. I told Maria as I look 02:48 out clothes you sent I'm gonna throw them away. I feel my backpack up with dirt. I'm gonna take all that home. Now. This is all we 02:54 got so yeah. So anyway, yeah, but it has been a good time and To stay safe. Stay safe. Stay tuned stay with 03:03 nature. They're more common.
