Johnny Verell Extreme Ag. I'm out here today at a field day that we're gonna have here in a few weeks
00:00:05
and we're looking at different plots we had. And on this side of the field here, we actually did a product with Gerson, a product
00:00:10
of Gerson's called Terramar. And we did this product across our high management, uh, high management zone of this field
00:00:16
where we're gonna really push the beans. And one reason we, we did the terramar is we were trying to see if we could help mitigate stress from heat.
00:00:22
And a couple weeks ago we had some extremely high temperatures. You know, we were in that 95
00:00:26
to 98 degrees for several days there. And talking to Scott Lay and different ones with the Reson, they were telling me
00:00:31
that this would be a prime time to go out there and, and actually uh, apply the, the terramar. So we actually put it out
00:00:36
with a herbicide pass across these beans and you know, and I was talking to Scott and he was trying to tell me all the different
00:00:41
beneficials that we're gonna have out of it. But the biggest thing I took away from it is it actually will help the plant cool the canopy.
00:00:47
And so when you're getting them temperatures up there close to a hundred degrees like we were during that time,
00:00:50
we're prime flowering time of the year like we were. That could be huge. We're actually got it going out on corn also.
00:00:57
And we're actually gonna put it out on cotton and just basically try to take away is here in the south where we get these extreme high temperatures.
00:01:02
Sometimes they last three or four days, sometimes they can last three or four weeks. When that happens, it are their products
00:01:07
that we can put out there to really help mitigate that stress. You know, a lot of these products have got a seaweed base in
00:01:12
them and a carbon base in them, and Terramar actually takes both those technologies, puts 'em together and really helps keep this plant healthier
00:01:18
and at a cooler temperature. And that's what we're looking for out here to try to see if we can help hold more pods
00:01:23
and hold more flowers throughout this period of this crop. So these beans are looking really good right now.
00:01:27
It's been cool the last week or so, so they're not been stressed. If another stress event comes,
00:01:31
we're actually gonna apply it again. That's the best time to do is right before a stress event go
00:01:36
out there and try to help that crop. So we'll see how it goes. We're taking it all to yield to see what it is,
00:01:40
because at the end of the day, if the R i's not there, it doesn't really matter. But what we've seen in the test that they've showed us,
00:01:45
it's really gonna help pay off. Maybe not in every year, but in years when you have this 00:01:49.355 --> 00:01:51.555
