00:00
So you've seen me talk about, in episodes about, you know, the tiling and, and, uh, lift stations and all that.
00:04
Well, here it is where a picture's worth a thousand words, right? So this is what we're looking at when we put this in.
00:10
Remember, we have irrigation out here first. So I just decided, you know, I run the power line from the road
00:15
underground to the base of the pivot. But when we went to tiling the area that we had on the backside of it, I didn't feel like
00:21
that we should cross it. You know, it, it wasn't much area like, oh, it ain't worth it, you know, it's just a few acres.
00:27
This is what I'd done wrong by not crossing that power line. You can see where the tiling stops.
00:33
And this side over here is not tiled. So when you look at it and it bowls off, that's where not tiled.
00:38
It barely had a stand. And we would've had several acres, several acres out here that would've been like this from the early
00:44
rains that we had at planting. But now the corn's uniform and this is not. And so that's what we get into.
00:51
And when we talk about how much these lift stations mean to us on getting this corn off to a good start, getting
00:57
that good uniformness of the corn, even through emergence and then up through its growing season as we come
01:03
through those spring rains, it just keeps the water down to where the corn can make the root system
01:08
and make the ear that we needed to make.
