Farming Video | Temple Rhodes & Kelly Garrett on Efficient Weed Control with Anthem Maxx

11 Aug 253m 4s

Temple Rhodes teams up with Kelly Garrett to explain how using Anthem Maxx across all his acres has simplified his chemical program and boosted efficiency. By planting corn and beans at the same time, they reduce sprayer cleanouts, minimize crop injury, and save time—at $250/hour for a sprayer, that adds up fast. Temple values Anthem Maxx for its residual control in both corn and soybeans, often eliminating the need for additional passes with glyphosate, which can tie up micronutrients. He emphasizes that true weed control success comes from “stacking” nutritional balance, proper water treatment, and a quality herbicide—not just mixing more chemicals.

00:00:00 Hey guys, it's Temple and I got Kelly here with me. And the one thing that we're gonna talk about today, Kelly, is that, um, in my program, 00:00:06 a hundred percent across all my acres, I'm using Anthem Max. And I'm not here to promote something. 00:00:10 What I'm talking about is I'm promoting ease. That's what we always wanna do as farmers, right? We wanna touch that easy button. 00:00:16 We wanna touch the easy button, and we wanna have crop safety when it comes to our chemical program, 00:00:20 Right? So when, when we talk about, like, now, it's kind of changed things, right? Like with us planting, we plant beans earlier and earlier. 00:00:28 We used to go and plant all the corn when we got done. Mm-hmm. We'd go back, switch planters over and then switch the sprayers over and then we'd go to beans 00:00:35 after we got done corn. Well, now we don't do that. We got planters running corn planters, running beans, sprayers, trying to chase 'em. 00:00:41 Well, you always end up having that, that problem. It's nice to choose a product as a chemical program that's can go back and forth. 00:00:49 You don't have to worry about cleaning out sprayers so much. How many times have you seen the first 50 feet gets burned? 00:00:54 Maybe isn't even by the other crop's chemical might just be by cleaner. Well, look how much time we waste. Yes. 00:00:58 Your sprayer sitting there running, we're paying $250 an hour for a sprayer. It's sitting there running it there, 00:01:04 Rinsing out. We're rinsing out. Like that's a problem for me. So, I mean, you think about the whole thing 00:01:09 that we can't make money in agriculture right now, but what can we do? We can be more efficient. Yes. 00:01:14 This is an efficient thing. There's Hidden profits inefficiency. Exactly. And nobody wants to realize that. 00:01:19 So these special little things like when we're talking about Anthem Max, man, look at the corn, the corn's clean. 00:01:26 We've used Anthem max there. It's a residual, the beans, they're clean, there's residual there. 00:01:31 That's, I mean, majority of my beans, I don't even go back and spray. Like, I don't try to put any roundup on 'em because, 00:01:37 or glyphosate on 'em. Because I believe when every time we make a past across soybeans, we end up having some tie up with micronutrients. 00:01:44 Yeah. You, Mr. Micronutrient can, can testify that like you don't want tie up any micros. No. 'cause then you're fighting another problem. 00:01:52 So this is one of these things that I really have found have really helped me with efficiency, make better money, uh, 00:01:59 less time on our sprayers. All these things add in. I believe that nutritional balance in the soil really aids in weed control. 00:02:07 I really believe that Could, the books, I read the book when Weeds Talk and the nutritional balance that you strive 00:02:12 to get in the Chesapeake Bay because of the water regulations and things like that, I believe that that helps you. 00:02:17 Then you use a product like Anthem Max that OnePass program is holding for you. And I, I really, 00:02:22 really believe your nutritional balance helps and a quality product helps and you're doing all of those things. Yep. Yeah. 00:02:27 But we have to, you know, we always say start clean and clean. Yes. And that we, we have to kind 00:02:32 of stack things nowadays in order to keep that cleanliness. Because the worst thing a plant can do is fight another weed 00:02:40 and then they both become weeds. The, uh, okay. And, but the average person thinks when we stack, we're talking about multiple chemicals. 00:02:45 To me, here's what you're stacking nutritional balance, you're treating the water correctly, and then you have a quality product. 00:02:51 Those are the three things you're stacking and you have better results than stacking a bunch of chemicals. 00:02:55 You better believe it. Alright guys, 00:02:57.085 --> 00:02:58.525
