00:00:00 Okay, so this is Chad Henderson again with Extreme Ag. And here we are talking about lift stations. You know, and you've heard me talk numerous times about a 00:00:07 lift station and, but it, but they've been so instrumental to us in changing the way that we're farming because we can get this water off. 00:00:13 We've always wanted to put a little tile in. But then when we come across and was able to do lift stations 00:00:18 where we can tile all these lower areas, especially then it's just changed the way we farm. It's changed it so much that the way we farm. 00:00:26 Check this out. So this is the lift station that we've put in last, this is one of the duck holes that we've had. 00:00:32 They're not gonna flood it this year. We're gonna plant wheat on it. We've got wheated out here. This is the elevation. 00:00:40 This whole area will hold water if we dam it up. So we're gonna leave it undammed. So that just tells you how much, 00:00:46 what the water table is here. We're gonna leave it undammed. We're gonna fire this lift station up 00:00:51 and we're gonna grow this wheat crop in this duck hole. 00:00:54.855 --> 00:00:56.245
