So we're here at Chad's Field Day and we're looking at some of these flights and the first thing I noticed, why,
00:00:06
why is this corn small on, you know, down there close to the end? So Chad, Chad immediately told me exactly why, what
00:00:14
I don't see any, I don't see any small corn. Well look up Rows. Jack, look up.
00:00:17
Yeah, it just takes off. It just, it just gets a little more, you know, it's just like it's growing up. It's just like a kid.
00:00:22
But now tell me this is smaller, that's bigger. It's lapped up there, not lapped here. Tell 'em why This is Matt Miles corn on the end.
00:00:29
And this is Chad's corn out there now. So what Matt's talking's a compaction. What we did here is this field stripped tilled
00:00:36
and when we stripped tilled it, we stripped till it and, and we did it in the fall.
00:00:39
I wasn't really sure where field day was going to be, where the test plot's gonna be. I just done what I normally do. Actually Lee did.
00:00:45
Lee done what he normally does, strip tilled it, come in here and strip tilled the ends, you know, just like you plant inroads.
00:00:51
Well then we come up and said, hey, I'm gonna put the field day there. So I planted across the strip
00:00:55
and when you plant across it, the ground was that much harder. So that's the compaction, whether the yield will be there
00:01:00
or not, whether it took off from yield or whether it just took off from vegetation is yet to be seen. Yeah,
00:01:06
No trees look the same but the color looks the same. Color Shorter, but you can see the compaction as it goes up
00:01:11
and gets out there to where the end rows would be it. The corn just rises right up. So that's one of the things we talk about with having to
00:01:19
get the corn off to a good start. Is it going to hurt me? Is it going to yield? Who knows? We'll see what the season brings.
00:01:25
And let's see what the ROI is. 00:01:26.645 --> 00:01:28.645
