00:00 When I came to you and we talked about the plantar set up and how we wanted it set up, I talked to you about, 00:05 we do a two by two out the back and we stream it on top of ground. Now we're putting ic, 00:11 it's fulvic acids, some sugar in there. You know, basically stabilizing the, the fertility and I can, I banded on top. 00:17 Been doing it for years. It's worked out really good. So you came up with a system here and you put it on the furrow force. 00:23 I'm not familiar with the furrow force. I was skeptical about it when you first told me that you wanted to put it on the planter 00:29 and I wasn't sure whether I was gonna like it or not, but it works very well and especially in our situations. So This is our latest on Precisions closing technology 00:38 of the Furrow four system on here. So we've got an airbag on there and sensor. So it's fully automated. 00:43 So once you set your PSI pressure in your monitor, it's gonna keep that, um, consistent on here. So we've got the front wheels that are going into the ground 00:51 and they're breaking that sidewall. They're loosening that sidewall up and then you've got your stitching wheels in the back 00:56 that then come back and close everything up Nice and firm, keeping it consistent that way. And then with the dribble system out the back here, 01:03 you're putting your placement right next to the row where it needs to be next. Yeah, so I mean you ended up putting a infer system on 01:08 this and it's carrying 450 gallons on the side on these sidal tanks here. And then we got a thousand gallon up front, which I mean, 01:16 think about it like, you know, there's a truck over here and I've got a planter way over there in the corner. 01:21 I mean you can see it way over there. Sure. And he's gonna run out of fertilizer and he's gonna run over all the corn 01:26 and the turn roads to get back up here and fill up all the time. We've got enough capacity on this planter 01:31 that can really make a difference on the amount that we can get done two by two and in furrow is the biggest time consumer for us. 01:39 But being able to carry this kind of capacity is great. And again, I was skeptical about these and I wasn't sure I was gonna like 'em at first, 01:47 but from what I've seen so far, I mean it does a great job. I'm pretty excited to see 01:52 how everything turns out in the irrigated ground, what we've got so far that it's come up. Corn and beans, both the stand is phenomenal. Sure. 02:01 I'm really impressed with the, with the fur force. It was a little tedious with you and I when we were setting it at first. 02:06 Yep. But once we got everything set, we got it dialed in. I'm pretty tickled with It. Yeah. Yeah. So 02:12 we've got, uh, the three Cs of planting this we've come up with here. So you're gonna clean, create and close. 02:18 So with this system on here, we're doing that consistently with that seed placement 02:23 and just making it better for you guys. So far So good. So we're gonna continue on. 02:28 I can't wait to get my NCGA stuff and plan it with this thing. Let's go do some more digging. Alright, 02:33 Let's go do it.
