00:00 Hey guys, it's Temple Rose from Extreme Ag. So we're doing something a little bit different out here today. 00:05 We got some old school stuff running in the background. Um, you, Kelly Garrett would have a heart attack out here. We're disc ripping. Um, we're trying 00:15 to improve our soil health. You know, I, I, I guess I'm kind of going the opposite way. I'm not talking about, you know, cover crops 00:23 and breaking down residue and getting it back into my soil profile. Right now, today I'm fixing problems that I've got. 00:31 You know, sometimes we gotta go back the old way and we gotta go back and we gotta, we gotta take a different stance, you know, 00:38 I'm not saying it's always, always better. Um, but we got a problem out here. We got massive compaction out here. 00:46 We've had a ton of rainfall on this particular farm, and we're gonna fix some of these problems. So we got two disc rippers out here, 00:54 and we're getting underneath that hard pan. We're breaking it back up. We're getting some oil, um, some air into this ground, getting some oxygen in there. 01:01 Um, it's kind of like really sealed up. This farm was, uh, dis ripped back in 2013. We looked it up and that was the last time 01:09 that it was dis descrip, um, and ground, just, I, it's taken a beating over, over that time and there's no products that we can put on 01:19 that can actually improve this and try to break that compaction up and to get it broke up, get some air into that ground. 01:26 And I was starting to struggle. And sometimes when we start to struggle, sometimes we gotta kind of go backwards. 01:32 And I hate to say that because this is nothing that I want to do. Um, I do like plowing. I do like turning up dirt. 01:40 I do like the smell of the dirt in the air, and my boys love it too. Um, but I'm not saying that that's the best thing. 01:46 What I'm saying is, is sometimes you gotta take a step back. You gotta go back to the basics, know where you came from. 01:53 And this is kind of where I came from. I came from a world of plowing and um, I guess I'm going a little bit old school, 02:00 but cover crops, yes, they help, they, they help tremendously, but sometimes when you have such a problem, 02:07 there's only one way to fix it. And that's to go back, you know, we've got ruts out here, you know, am I destroying the, 02:14 the carbon credit market that I was in? Yes, I am, I'm giving all that up to fix ground. You know, we, we treat dirt, like dirt, that's the problem. 02:24 We need to treat soil like it is. It's not dirt, it's soil. And I'm trying to improve the health of my soul. 02:31 And sometimes doing some things, old school, going back to the old way, sometimes that's the way to go. So be back to you soon guys. 02:40 I'm out here doing a little bit of fall tillage. Not something that I like to do a lot of, but, uh, we got a lot of ground that needs 02:47 to be fixed and we're gonna fix it. See you soon.
