Johnny Verell Extreme Ag. I'm out here today with Stephanie Linco, temple Rose, Kelly Garrett.
00:00:04
We're talking about the big wheat competition we had this year. And we're talking about getting ready
00:00:08
to get to see the results, right? We do. The results are in, so just as a recap, this was an economic challenge.
00:00:13
We had a $30 per acre budget for a full year application at flowering. So above and beyond his grower standard, um,
00:00:21
fertilizer programs, we each spent $30 and put those programs out. So quickly go through
00:00:26
what you guys did for your programs. Yeah, I stayed simple. I actually went in around $25 an acre. I just stuck.
00:00:31
He, he has to stay simple. He doesn't know the difference in colors of a vehicle. Yeah. We're
00:00:34
Basically moving on colors of vehicles again. But at the end of the day, we kept it simple. I went in under budget 'cause I was thinking if it was gonna
00:00:40
be close, maybe four or $5 savings might, would make me win the competition. I did my typical approach, all of the micros to try
00:00:47
to achieve mineral balance, improve nutrient density, improve plant health, improve the quality of the grain. And I spent just about all $30 really close.
00:00:56
I'm surprised you didn't spend it all on calcium. 'cause the last two years that's all you've done is calcium. I've learned, I've evolved Livered ca That's right.
00:01:02
That's I'm Kelly Garrett slash livered ca. That's my middle name. I, I took the same approach. I mean, I kind of look at things the same
00:01:10
as I do in everything at Chesapeake Bay. I'm used to putting that phosphorus portion in, adding more sulfur.
00:01:16
But the reason that I did at that time, you can add a lot of weight to grain quality when you give the plant energy
00:01:22
and that late season like that, I was hoping to kind of build more energy, give that plant that extra jump. All right. So who do you think won? I th
00:01:30
I definitely did. We don't wanna hurt temples field. I would like to think Johnny won on his home turf to, So there was five bushel between the low yield
00:01:38
and the high yield five bushel. That's typical five bushel. So our yield goal was 120 bushel. Alright,
00:01:43
Wait, I'm now predicting Stephanie won. Nobody. Nobody. I didn't participate. You guys participated. Nobody hit the 120 bushel.
00:01:50
Um, but 1 0 9, 1 11, 1 14. So it goes in that order. 1 0 9. S**t. 1 11, 1 14. That falls for us. So
00:02:03
You guys stood in the right order. Keep it simple. So Johnny won, won On your own ground And I saved $5 an ac. Yep. And he
00:02:09
Sent the mustard. This money Amber Would tell you second place is the first loser. You know what third place
00:02:13
Is? I don't anymore. I, yes I know I'm here. I spend a lot of time in this circle. So here's our results. We're gonna have
00:02:21
that information with all the programs. Um, you can see what the yields are and we have a lot of fun and we look forward to the rest
00:02:26
of the results coming in throughout this fall. And we're gonna send Temple our programs to try to help him out in Chesapeake Bay.
00:02:33
He can use those as training videos. Yeah. He Told me all his, I'm gonna eat them. Yeah. What
00:02:37
Do you think con is the winner, if any, was say, wanna make A speech? Nah, I don't have no speech.
00:02:42
You expected to win? Yeah, 00:02:43.585 --> 00:02:44.785
