Hi, I'm Kelly Gear from Extreme Ag here in the office today because it's raining again. What a difference a year makes, you know,
00:06
after two years of drought, 22 and 23 being very hot and dry. Now here we are in the spring of 24.
00:12
Seems like I've spent a lot of time in the office as we get another rain. In the last week we received five inches throughout four
00:18
different rain events and, uh, very excited for the crop that's going in. 'cause I feel like we have adequate moisture
00:24
for the first time in three years. Today I'm here in the office and I've been talking with Mike Evans
00:28
about our yield trials. One that I'm especially excited about is from Corteva Biologicals that's got quite a name,
00:34
fortified Stimulant Yield. Enhancer Plus is the name of the product. This product is a three-way, PGR.
00:41
It's got Oxidants, STOs, and gibs, which are three different kinds of hormones that we put in furrow for, uh,
00:46
root stimulants and, and development. The product that we're currently using in my grower standard practice, we feel could be two oxen dominant.
00:52
You know, this is a research that Evans and I have come up with upon further trying to learn about our, uh, our fertility program.
01:00
And when you have a product that is too oxid dominant, it doesn't put everything in the right direction. So again, you want to have the right balance.
01:07
So we're trying this product, it's new to us because we feel it does have the right balance, and we're excited about that going forward.
01:13
I'm hopeful for these trials this year. Maybe we can make an improvement on our Grower Standard practice and move this into our lineup full time next year.
