00:00:00
Hey guys, lane miles here. Uh, little something unusual for, for us here at Miles Farms.
00:00:06
Uh, normally even, even in just say a, an average wetter year, not, not a history of a wet year like we've had this year.
00:00:14
It's, it's been, well, I think it's been the, either the fourth or the fittest wet fifth wettest April in, in the history of, of either DHA County or Arkansas E.
00:00:23
Either way, it's been really, really wet. But even in the past when we get rains and and whatnot, we, our typical ground
00:00:31
we can get back on within about somewhere between, if it's really hot, two or three days. If it's kind of mild, it could be 4, 5, 6, 7 days.
00:00:41
Just, just depending on time of year. This particular farm that we rented, where I'm at right now, it's probably not as heavy as it looks,
00:00:48
but we rented a farm's, got about seven or 800 acres of, of some heavier, pretty heavy soils. We planted these beans back in the, uh, 1st of April.
00:01:00
Some of them we got sprayed and some of 'em we didn't. This particular field I'm standing in and a lot of the farm that, that, that's behind me.
00:01:08
We didn't get anything in. We, we literally just planted these beans and next day or so we got a rain.
00:01:14
We weren't able to get any kind of sprayer in here. So there was, there was no type of residual or anything on this ground.
00:01:21
All we had was, was our burn down application back in the 1st of March, which, which had a, had a residual in that.
00:01:28
So all in all, I mean, I, I really feel like our residuals from, from burn down are really working,
00:01:34
but we're in a little more grown up situation than we like to be. Typically, we're able to get in into
00:01:39
different fields a lot faster. This particular farm we hadn't, so from time of planting, we're just about to hit R one.
00:01:47
We're getting, we're just about to start seeing flowers here. Uh, just about to hit R one.
00:01:52
So, so these beans have abso absolutely nothing done other than a, other than a planting going through. And we're almost to r one very, very, uh, abnormal for us.
00:02:03
Like I said, we're normally able to do just about what we wanna do most of the time, within about a five day period from a rain this year has been
00:02:12
really, really wet. Been really, really crazy and it's just not really kind of went our way Mo you know, in most places.
00:02:19
All in all, we still got a pretty clean, clean crop. This isn't the most growed up situation I've ever seen in the world, but it's more than what we, what we like,
00:02:27
you know, we like to try to keep, keep weeds down. No weeds are the best weeds. So from the first of, of April till May 22nd, you know,
00:02:36
two months of not being in here, we're able to come through now. Um, we put down our first, uh, shot of herbicide coming in
00:02:43
and, and plowing the beans. We hadn't been able to do anything, so we gotta plow some middle two, uh, coming in,
00:02:49
plowing the beans, waiting just a couple more, a couple days. We actually got a little shower on some of it,
00:02:54
waiting a couple days spraying 'em again with our residual 'cause we do have rain coming
00:02:59
On on Monday. So hopefully we get that rain. Uh, we hadn't been wanting all of 'em, but, but we do want this one and, uh, get this pretty much set
00:03:07
and hopefully the, these beans will be set till, till, you know, when we, we get to R three. That'll be our next pass. But stay tuned.
00:03:14
We'll, uh, we'll come back, we'll see, we'll see how this, how this works, and, uh,
