00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Gere from Extreme Ag. I'm out here today checking on the cover crops that are coming up from our early harvested soybeans. 00:07 We're very fortunate over the weekend to get an inch of rain, which has really given these crops a good start. We finally got some moisture. 00:13 It's been incredibly dry here for the last two years, just like it has been in other parts of the country. We've got a nice stand coming. Our cover crop mix is two thirds oats, 00:22 one third rye. The oats give us more growth in the fall. The rye, of course, comes back in the spring. 00:28 I'll be happy to move the cattle in here in a couple weeks. The cover crops should be big enough then to provide some nice fall forage. 00:34 The cattle, of course, are provide a carbon transfer, is what I call it. Carbon is not created nor destroyed by the cattle. 00:40 It just speeds up the process, getting those nutrients back in the soil faster. I feel like the cover crops are kind of an earthworm effect. You know, they, 00:49 they talk about earthworms going down and turning the soil over. That's what the cover crops do with the nutrients in our soil. 00:55 They turn that nutrition over the roots, bring it up, put it into the plant. The plant dies, 01:00 lays on tops of the ground and creates that circular process continually turning that nutrition over, helping provide available nutrition for our other crops, 01:07 soybeans and corn. I'm happy to work with TER and my cover crop systems because they've got programs that pay farmers to put the cover crops in, 01:14 pay farmers for the no-till. Different soil health initiatives and programs coming all the time that are good for agriculture. Um, really happy to be working with Tru Tera.
