00:00:00 Johnny Verell Extreme Ag. I'm out here today in our agri liquid plots, so you know, this year we're all doing competitions. 00:00:06 I'm going up against Kelly going up against Temple, you know, and Temple knew we were gonna do these competitions this year and you know, I did wheat 00:00:13 and he decided not to even raise wheat. He's always made the best wheat outta the whole group. He thinks he's the best wheat farmer there is. 00:00:19 You know, Kelly sees wheated as just a good way to make hay, right? He's all about making the haylage out of it. 00:00:23 We're gonna carry this wheat to harvest all the way through this wheat's. Probably in about 25, 20 6%. 00:00:28 We're gonna start harvesting probably another two or three days where I actually get started on this wheat and we'll see how it's gonna go. 00:00:34 But you know, I got to looking back over some things yesterday and I was like, I'm gonna come out here and make a quick video. 00:00:38 Kelly threw the kitchen sink at it. He's got about eight different, nine different ingredients that he put in, or different fertility things 00:00:44 that he threw into this package to try to push this yield. We all had a budget, you know, 00:00:48 I'm gonna say Temple stayed under budget by 5 cents, so we'll see how he does on it. Me and Rob, we're about $5 under budget, 00:00:54 so we're gonna see how that goes. It looks good. The wheat looks good. It's, it's had a lot of rain over the last few weeks. 00:01:00 It's had hell on it, which is unusual for us. It's had about everything that you can throw at it as far as from a weather event, and 00:01:07 we're just gonna see how it turns out. We're hoping we don't have a lot of disease and stuff like that, but I'll keep you in touch 00:01:12 or keep you, uh, up to date on what's going on. We start harvesting from the combine and we'll have some good results 42 00:01:16.855 --> 00:01:18.695
