00:00 Johnny Rell, the extreme Ag. We're out here today, me and Chad Henderson are, we're out here at field day. 00:04 We're actually gonna shell corn. And we were fortunate enough to get a new John Deere S seven 800 out here 00:10 and we're gonna see how this thing performs. You know, it's got a lot of new features all from the front of the combine to the back, some of the features, 00:15 what's always been there, but the technology piece is coming. And I think I saw a new chopper on the back of the side, 00:20 Seen a new chopper on the back. You know, man, we, we excited about that. Talking about the cameras on the front. Yeah. 00:25 Excited about that. And this thing's got a clean new look to the outside of it that's gonna be interested. 00:29 Yeah. You know, we're talking about the cameras. That's a pretty cool concept they've got and they're, they're thinking that they can make the farmer 00:34 more efficient with the machine we already have. And technology. That's the only way to really do it because the farmer's either gonna send it too far, Chad, 00:40 or send it brother or pull back Or pull back or Pull back. And then you're constantly fighting it. 00:44 We're able to fly aerial imagery prior to harvesting this field here and they can sit there and see what expectation is coming. 00:49 So basically they know where the green spots are, where the dead spots are, and we're gonna see how this thing works. 00:55 You know, I never dreamed that we'd be overlaying maps even from planting. Right. So we're overlaying maps 01:00 and we're looking at the crop all the way through the year and then it puts in this combine what it's gonna see. 01:04 Yeah. At the end of the season, you know, because all this crops brown, the combine don't really know it, 01:08 but it's seen that imagery Yeah. From before. And that's pretty cool. And We're talking about corn, you know, which is one 01:13 of sometimes some of the easier ones to shell, yeah. Less residue going through the machine. You start running, you know, this machine with this type 01:19 of technology on wheat, how much more efficient that's gonna let you be. And we're not talking about, oh, we're gonna go 01:23 out here and we're gonna run a bunch faster. But just think if you could run a half a mile an hour, let's say, not even faster, 01:27 but more consistent, the machine stay more consistent. We're talking two or three more acres an hour. Easy, you know, easily. 01:33 And so that's where the, that's where it's gonna come in. We're being more efficient. 'cause there's using the same 01:36 fuel, it's running on the same time. You're getting the same hours, you know, for what, you're using a machine for cost per hour. So, 01:43 And loading the machine correctly is the biggest way to make it shell efficient. Exactly. So Exactly. I think that's one step forward, 01:47 you know, for us going in the future and hopefully this fall we'll get to run this thing and really see what it can do. That's 01:52 Right.
