Hey guys, it's Temple. So, um, let me tell you something that, that I did. This is a Holganix video on the, the breakdown.
00:00:09
You know, they have a breakdown product the way that Holganix has their system now. Um, I, I guess kind of, I'm trying
00:00:16
to reinvent the wheel somewhat. Um, I'm trying to make it easier process for me to be able to put it on somewhere versus, um, right now the way
00:00:24
that they're doing it as, as the moment, it's a two piece part. So one, you put it on as fall breakdown
00:00:30
and you break down your residue and then you come back in the spring and then you add some more biology to the soil
00:00:36
and you're waking up the soil. It's all about soil health. And does it work? Yes, it works. From what we've seen with these trials
00:00:42
that we run all the time, yes, we've seen it work tremendously. Work. It not only works it, you know, it improves in ROI,
00:00:49
it healthies up our soil and we are definitely cutting back on fertility for sure. And of an environment like where I am,
00:00:56
where we are already cutting way back on fertility, it's allowed me to even cut back further. Or, you know, the amount of fertility that I've cut back,
00:01:04
it's waking up my soil and maybe I'm getting a little bit more something out of my soil that I couldn't get before.
00:01:09
So remember what I told you two pieces. One in the fall as a breakdown, one in the spring prior to planting all about soil health.
00:01:17
For a lot of farmers in the north, it's a little hard to get a combine or, or let's back up a sprayer, sorry. Um, to chase a combine.
00:01:26
A lot of our, our, our sprayers are already winterized. They're put in the shed or we're making an extra pass. Us as farmers,
00:01:34
we don't really wanna make a lot of extra paces. So I thought maybe I can reinvent the wheel a little bit. Maybe I can apply this Hogans product somewhere else
00:01:43
besides after the combine and maybe get some type of a benefit. Did we find it? I feel like we did.
00:01:50
Um, so what I did was, is I put it down in the spring and I put it down in my late season wire drop. I did that because I was aiding to a trip
00:02:03
that I was already making across the field. I didn't wanna make that extra trip. So I thought maybe if I could still put it out there
00:02:10
and still get something out of it, it would be great. Now, is it gonna break down my residue? No, not necessarily. But if I have to put it on twice in a year,
00:02:19
I felt like it would be a better place for me. Well, according to my trials, and I'll, I'll try to put this on there.
00:02:25
This is all my trials that I did on that farm. So my wholeganics check where I didn't, I did it the old way.
00:02:33
It was 265 bushel and this, and it was 32 rows. Its replicated twice, 32 rows all the way down the field. Then I went in there with a late season wide drop
00:02:42
and I put it in the late season wide drop, and it was not on the fall applied. Um, I skipped that and I went to this.
00:02:50
Well guys, I can tell you right now there's a seven bushel increase and you guys can see it.
00:02:56
This is real. I don't know what it's doing, But maybe we found a different way to get this into our program without aiding an extra trip.
00:03:04
So, um, we're gonna keep studying on this and we're gonna keep letting you know how it's turning out 00:03:08.605 --> 00:03:08.845
