 Terramar that promise to enhance stress mitigation. Lee gets a preliminary look at the results of his first trial on some of his toughest acres.


00:02 It's got done way in. One of our Terror March X. This is on a quarter. The traditionally is probably in our bottom one third when 00:10 it comes to yield but we don't want to test on the best of the best and cherry pick. I don't think that's fair. I know there's 00:19 people that would. Look at soil types like this and be happy to have them so got done and wait on each end. 00:28 And it ended up being showing that the terramar is 7% better. Then the untreated and in this field, we 00:37 got spots that are running 80 bushel and a lot of spots from in 12140. And I know that's not like 00:46 a stellar yield but this is our 2012 event and I've been here in a lot of talk in our neck of the woods of 1580 Bushel 00:55 And even worse and a fair amount probably been chopped for silage month and a half ago. So this is winter winter chicken 01:04 dinner in our yield environment this year to get a piece of ground to do this and then to see a 7% increase if we take Dad times 120 01:13 bushel that's gonna be about 60 bucks an acre to our pocket. I'll take that all day long and our other trial is 01:22 in a higher yield environment so types so that will be I think better results kind of looking forward to that. I walked into it this morning 01:31 it you can see a noticeable difference in my opinion. So stay tuned. We'll have more trials coming on the terramar that like what 01:40 we're seeing in this first trial 7% That's pretty big. I'm Leigh lubbers the extreme egg. Let's do it.
