Temple's Custom Starter Blend

00:00 Hey guys, it's Temple Roads are Extreme Ag. We got Brandon Laws from FGS Fluid Growth Solutions. So Brandon, we are standing in one of your trials. 00:08 We each got sent two products. Tell about, tell us about the two products that you sent me. Yeah, so the first product was, uh, you know 00:14 what we're kind of calling your, your starter blend. Your infer blend. That's one that you and I sat down. Yeah. We put together kind of a blend of, uh, 00:22 the FGS phosphate. Well, You made it basically specifically for us Correct. To fix my problems on my farm. 00:29 Yeah. So we looked at kind of what your soil needs, what your crops kind of, uh, what your yield goals were. Kind of come up with the demand, 00:35 obviously here in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, keeping the, you know, the nutri management plans in mind 00:40 and kind of came up with a blend that, uh, that works for, for What you're trying to do. And then, then we 00:45 added your carbon as well. Correct. What I ended up doing here was I actually didn't add the carbon here. 00:51 This was just the starter blend that you made up for me. Right. Because I figured I I wanted to see 00:56 your starter program versus my starter program. This is my starter program. You know, basically from this, this row that way. 01:04 This is your starter program from that, from, from where you're standing that way. What I was trying to show on my end was I blend myself a 01:13 bunch of products you sent me. You don't mean a tote already done of that. Right. Customized. So from what I'm seeing 01:20 so far, it looks the same. I actually said something to you a minute ago, like, I actually see a little bit of height difference. 01:28 Um, I'd really like to do a root dig out here and see if there's any differences. I don't know that we're gonna see any differences in roots, 01:35 but if we can, you know, I I think we'd like to showcase that if there is a difference. 01:39 I don't see any deficiencies in either one of the plants. I think that whatever we did, we captured 01:44 what we needed so far. Right? Yeah. And as far as the, the blending and, and sending you the one product, that's kind of 01:51 what, what we like to do. Keep it simple for you guys. Yeah. Um, we've got our activated carbon technology reacted 01:57 with the nutrients, blend it all together based on what your farm needs. And that's, that's what one thing 02:01 that farmer every farm's different. I mean, there's a hedgerow over there. There's another farmer over there that farms that. 02:07 His program is completely different than mine. His needs are gonna be very different than what my needs are. 02:12 Right. I think it's important that when we sat down, we went over, you know, what my prior history was, you know, with yields, what, what I was using in my previous years, 02:22 what exactly what was my total program. And then we looked at soil, um, our soil samples and we went over all that 02:29 and we said, this is what we think that we need to put in one blend. And then I get one blend and it looks like it works. 02:34 Yep. It looks good so far, but we'll, uh, obviously look at the roots and then see what it does. 02:39 All right. Well let's go over here. Four or five rows. We'll take one and then we're gonna go over there. I'm gonna make sure that you don't cherry pick. 02:44 Alright, because I, I don't, I don't want you cherry picking one. We'll try to take a good, good sample. 02:48 Sounds good, Man. He's ripping roots up. He's, this is how he's cherry picking now. I picked the plant. He ripped all the roots off. I tried. 03:03 Yeah, You definitely did. What are you gonna do when I smoke you down with my roots? You're gonna be, you're gonna be very 03:09 upset when my roots are better. No, I mean we, we want good roots. I mean, but I, I, I think based on 03:14 what we did over there, I like, uh, Okay, so you're thinking that you're gonna smoke me down on the root system? That's, 03:20 That's obviously the plan Goal. Alright, let, let's go see. Alright, so what we did, we, we, 03:26 I got in a good even space over there. I'm not gonna let you cherry pick. So I'm gonna dig 'em up myself 03:30 and I'm gonna make sure that I rip off the roots like you did on my side. The ground is softer. Tell me why. 03:38 I mean, I, I'd love to tell you it's from the application of our product. That is one thing that we see with 03:42 that activated carbon technology, improving soil till soil structure, um, you know, from one planter application I'd, 03:49 I'd love to say that's what's happening. But, uh, you know, over time that's something we see with the continued use of that technology 04:07 Look like you ripped off 90% of them. It's, yeah, it's always hard doing these, uh, root digs A little later you end up ripping 04:12 off so many of the feeder roots. But I mean, I think we got a nice looking root system here too. 04:17 Yeah. I mean you're de definitely your feeder roots are deeper and you're definitely got more ma to 'em. I mean the corn plants look basically the same. Mm-Hmm. 04:24 I mean we're at the same leaf stage. Nothing looks a lot different. I mean, we got a little bit of purple in there. 04:28 Maybe we need to add a little more phosphorus next time. Yeah. Not a lot, 04:33 but there's definitely some, I mean all in all, I mean I'm pretty satisfied with that. I mean, 'cause I spent a lot of time 04:39 and a lot of years perfecting what we have here Mm-Hmm. To get to where we are. I got a pretty good feeling about that. 04:45 I mean, I'm, I'm pretty satisfied. So, um, from here I've got some more trials in soybeans and we did things a little bit different over there. 04:55 So why don't we go and, um, let's take a look at some more crops. Okay. And we'll get around out 05:00 'cause I, I really, I got some questions about it as well. Okay. Sounds good. Alright. Well guys, 05:04 we spent some time out here. Um, we're talking about customizing your fertility plan, um, around your own farm. 05:12 So as you see it worked out for us. So we're gonna take this thing to yield.
