00:00:00 So we're right here today picking our whole organics trial. Timothy's running the combine, 00:00:05 and I come by to check on things, pull some ears so we can kind of see what was going on. Pretty impressed. Um, gonna be interesting 00:00:13 to see the yield results. We left 120 foot strip across this field that was, uh, grower standard with nothing applied 00:00:20 to it on the whole organics. Pretty interesting. It's been through some pretty good dry weather. Then we got some good rains 00:00:27 and then we got the flood with Hurricane Helene. It got water up onto the ears. You can see, I'll show you here in just second. 00:00:36 But what impresses me right now when I look where the holganix was used at, and I'm gonna walk over to where it was not used this, 00:00:44 I'm gonna bring my probe out here and do some soil testing on it. See how tight the soil is. 00:00:50 I gotta figure out what's going on because this is pretty impressive. But where I'm talking about is, so we had saturated roots, 00:00:58 but yet the plants is still, you can see the green all the way up. Very, very healthy plants still. 00:01:05 And as much water as we had. How much water did the water get to? Right here's the mud line on the here. 00:01:14 Got to right there. You know these stalks should not be green right now, so it's kind of interesting. You can still see some of the debris. 00:01:25 One thing that did help, it turned dry and we've had to dry cool air. It's not been hot. Uh, perfect harvest conditions, 00:01:33 but these are 18 around. I've not counted the uh, length on them, but I pulled several years. 00:01:41 We're going to put 'em on the board. We're gonna get a good look at 'em. And uh, I'm gonna go jump the combine with Timothy 00:01:47 and I'm gonna see what kind of yields he's seeing cross the farm. Drain quality is top notch. Very pleased with that. 00:01:56 We'll get some test weights on this. I'm have to do some more looking just organics. 00:02:03.745 --> 00:02:06.785
