00:00 Alright, so we're doing, uh, drones here at Garrett Land and Cattle. You can see behind us on the flatbed trailer, Mike Gro 00:05 with his remote control stand in the shade and all the, uh, supplies that he needs. And a drone is flying right over here over my right 00:12 shoulder, putting on, uh, treatment on this corn, which is pre, uh, what, uh, stages this V 10. Alright, so 00:19 What are we doing out here, Kelly? So The work that we've done with spray tech is really what started Evans and Wind Grove 00:25 and I on this balanced journey. Yeah. Where we're trying to assimilate the nitrogen achieve, uh, uh, achieve, at least for us unforeseen plant health. 00:32 You know, it started with John Scott's soybeans, my good friend here in ota, bode, Iowa. It started with Temple's pythium problem in Maryland. 00:39 And then with further research with our friend Jared Cook and our friend Clint, we now talk about assimilating the 00:44 nitrogen, balancing the crop from a nutritional perspective. And this lab with spray tech is all about 00:50 trying to accomplish that. So at post chem we came out with impulse corn, which is many different macro and micro rather 00:58 Impulse corn for the viewer. It's not a set seed variety, it is a product made by the company spray tech that Kelly and 01:03 and integrated ag solutions are doing. A, uh, a lab with this is 40 acres of corn. It's a lab you're doing in conjunction with spray tech. 01:10 It's not really with integrated ag solutions, it's just he's doing the treatment and also making sure that it goes on per the specs. 01:15 So on this 40 acres, you're the first time we're using the, the drone for it? Yes. And we're putting on, uh, 01:21 aft at the herbicide treatment that happened. Uh, post herbicide treatment you put on That product is called impulse corn 01:27 And it is a mixture of a bunch of Things. Many different macro and micro elements. 01:31 Too many to list on here. Check out your spray tech dealer if you want, but it's a great product. 01:35 Many different macro micro elements. Okay. Then they have a product called Cube. Did it go on at post-service or is it going on now? No, 01:40 Now we're putting on the cube and full tech. K. Okay. Full tech. K, same thing. It's Full tech. K is 01:46 a spray tech potassium product. Okay. Cube is five different products. Nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, boron, and copper. 01:54 It's all about plant health and again, balancing that crop. So Kelly, what do you expect to see? 01:59 And then, you know, we got the, we got the drone out here flying. What are we gonna get outta this? 02:02 Well, what we're hoping to see is a higher assimilation of nitrogen. The definition of balance 02:06 to us is 95% nitrogen assimilation in the SAP test. And by applying the different nutrients in the cube, the full tech k and even the impulse corn at post chem, 02:16 we hope to help the plan achieve balance. And we have validated that our soil produces so much organic nitrogen that the corn gets out of balance, 02:23 the beans gets out of balance. This is all about trying to achieve that balance. Okay. Kelly Garrett talking about a spray tech lab on 02:29 40 acres of corn right here. We've also got a soybean lab they're doing with spray tech. We'll be talking about in a separate video. 02:34 Make sure you check it out using the drone for the applications. Kind of exciting stuff here. The year 2024. 02:38 We heard it was coming. It finally is here. Damian Mason, Kelly Garrett, Garrett Land and Cattle. Check out all the great stuff@extremeag.farm.
