00:00 The other day, I got a opportunity to go out there and see Kelly Garrett, um, out in Iowa and get, got to see what he does with stalk residue out here 00:09 where we are in the East coast and some people down south, our stalks, they turn very black. 00:14 And our, our biology kind of breaks down faster. We run stalk choppers on our, on our corn heads. And the reason that we do, it's 00:22 'cause we can get the breakdown faster. Now, what I saw out there was incredible. It's so exciting for me to see in a different environment 00:30 because in that environment they look like they just harvested their corn yesterday. Now you realize what the guys go through out, out west 00:37 and up north where they can't get their stalks to break down at all. So you realize that what they have to go through, 00:44 it's either they have a really, really strong, um, no-till game or they try to implement things to try to break down residue, right? 00:53 So whether it's a product or whether it's tillage, and that's why tillage is such a big deal out there. And maybe it's not a big deal to some of the guys down south 01:02 and maybe the guys in my area. Tillage isn't a big deal. But, and what we have here is, uh, 01:07 this was vertical tilled in, um, out here. So, uh, and we planted a cover crop. So we do that and we put cattle on it 01:15 and we try to bring it back. So this is irrigated ground, right? So in the past we've watched our irrigated ground 01:23 continuously go down, down, down, down, down in yield. I really don't know what it is, but sometimes I kind 01:30 of always wanna point the finger towards, you know, maybe it's the water quality, maybe it's something in the water, 01:35 maybe it's this, maybe it's that. I don't know what it is. But since we've been putting cattle on these farms that are, 01:41 have irrigation on 'em in the past couple years, we're starting to see that build back, change in and make a change, um, for the better. 01:49 So is it getting the nutrients out of the stalks and out of the cover crop and getting it back into the soil in a different way? 01:57 We don't know that, but what I can tell you is, is having cattle on the soil is making huge improvements in, in some of these environments. 02:07 Kelly is seeing that. I saw Kelly's different versions out there. We rode through his fields 02:12 and I can't get over how he can plant no till into some of those fields. And, and in my opinion, if he didn't run that, you know, 02:20 that airway that he's got along with running cattle out there on that ground, I don't foresee him, I don't know 02:26 how he would get a corn plant to have a, to actually have a good emergence there. I, I can't see that. 02:34 You know, you have to have a strong no-till game if you wanted to do corn on corn, on corn. But in some of them versions where he did it in September, 02:41 hit it with an airway and then he's got cattle on it, man, he could go out there and if the, if the conditions were right, 02:48 he could plant it tomorrow and it would do a great job. I mean, talk about changing our soil and quit treating our soil like dirt, 02:57 treating our soil like soil. Guys, we'll be back to you soon with a lot of information on this. 03:02 I'm going to run some trials on this year. Kelly is as well. I can't wait to get back to you with this information.
