00:00 Hey y'all, this is Chad Henderson with Extreme Ag and we're doing a little late night mixing. So I got my fearless helper with me, Marie, 00:06 she's doing some videoing right now. And what we got going here is this is our brown steel application. 00:13 You've heard me talk about it before We come in here and we try to run B 10 to B12 with a application to get ahead of tassel. 00:21 We'll have a light fungicide in there, we'll have some micros, some fo, and then we wait and we just sit on it, wait and wait 00:28 and we see what happens through the pollination period and we look and engage the plant and then we come back at brown silk. 00:35 Now the old for us down here in the south a long times we can get ahead of the heat. So we won't fungicide all 00:40 of our corn on the brown silk application and we won't even do it on all of our corn. On the early application, we have a lower yield gold. 00:47 A lot of times our yield goal is 180 or 90 bushels. We have good hybrids these days and a lot of 'em can make that. 00:53 So we're just kind of in that medium frame right there and we'll do some testing on it. But this is for irrigated ground. 00:59 So we have all these popes mixed up. We try to take care of our airplane man, because you know me like I don't want him to fire me 01:05 'cause he does a really good job. That's a big shout out for towel flying service. So they do a really good job. Me. 01:10 So I do a lot of the mixing. I'll have mixed up and each one will be Farm and Load Swan Cotton Load one, hunt Hill, load two, 01:19 I mean it won't matter, like we'll keep popping 'em. So when you see all these totes, it may say be Squasher on it. 01:24 That was just the toe thats left over. So what we got in here is we've got about every one of our sponsors in this game. 01:31 I mean, there's something we like from every one of 'em, whether it's, you know, c, a Tiva, 01:36 or whether it's, you know, something from triple option, maybe from Tommy M. 01:40 So it may be Sureca from Agri liquids. So a lot of these have good, good products and so we put 'em into game a lot 01:49 of times on different loads here. So this is our load. We got a little bit of water about yay much. Definitely got some pulic in there, got some potassium, 01:59 got some phosphorus, got some boron. So it's just a pile of micros. Good for late season. We're trying to drive in, uh, weight. 02:07 This is for weight and we're trying to drive that home. So we'll see how it goes. Y'all hang in there. Don't forget about the Brown Seal application. 02:15 We gotta put the weight on stream Ag.
