Why Matt Likes and Does Not Like About Residuals

So guys I want to talk to you about something that we that we run into a lot here in the Delta. You know, we have a terrible amount of we call pigweeds Palmer amaran. So that's something that we have to always lay residuals down. I I did about 400 Acres this year real early like early March. and didn't put the pre-mars out because the pigweeds weren't even. Thinking about coming up. After about three or four hundred acres, I got nervous, you know, I get nervous and we started back laying residuals out and I'm gonna show you residuals are a must for us, but I'm gonna show you some reasons why that we don't like them. I don't know if you can see this but this is from what we call puckering and you see that leaf that's off of our first try folding in his shaped like a heart. So if we were going to Valentine's Day, you know, I could take this to my wife instead of flowers. I could save a lot of money I'd say. Hey I got you. I got you a heart for Valentine's Day, which is also her birthday. So I get a double whammy there I'd have to have a gift with me but we get a lot of Poker what we call poker from mainly from you know from a tuna core burn and I'm gonna walk you over here and show you irrigation. Well, this is where the sprayer so he's coming through here putting a prayer job behind the planner. We put premiered out different ways. Most of most years we're on us. We've got a spray spray system behind our planter. So every every being it goes into grounds got pretty murders behind it this year. we decided to try to be more efficient with the Planters with all the wet weather. We've had get more acres and we put the sprayer behind the planter putting out the premier, but I'm gonna walk over here and show you around this. Well, where as a sprayer is coming up that well, you know, he starts having to think. Okay. There's the whale boom's gonna hit the well, I've got to slow down. I've got to get that Wing in and I'll show you what a double rate of premier's does so you can see here. This is this is the last few row so it's double Planet here in a spot, but I want you to check this out. So you see the whale? Look where he comes up here by the whale. Look at the stand of beans here. So you can see the beans as we're going down. You can tell exactly what's going on here and right here. He actually has the stop. And regroup because of this whale and kills the beans. I mean, you know, it's a small spot. But if you got telephone poles ditches trees to work around and you're putting out a you know, putting out a pretty stout pre is something you need to pay attention to the pumpkin or the leaves. There's nothing we can do about that. We can either have weeds or we can have a semi injured soybean plant and you know, we've chosen in the past looking at some of the places where maybe residuals are not used as much we'd rather have the, you know, the kind of stunted up plant. I actually think and I'm not being Guru Temple is but I actually think sometimes I like my beans to stress and and he may be doing the same thing with you know, when he burns them back with the sofa product and we're gonna try that more this year. But you know, I think young and being in a beans life. That's why I think you plan them early they can take stress and I can't take death like some of these are out here at this pole, but just be mindful with your sprayers and your spray guys and And the guy that runs this sprayer Chris Anderson, he's been running it for me for 25 years. And I mean there I put him up against anybody in the world running a sprayer and these are things you just can't avoid so just goes to show you too much of a good thing. Sometimes can hurt you. If we we'd have messed up on a raid put too much, you know out in the sprayer you'd have some of this same injury across the whole field. Some trees are worse than others. What I suggest you do if you're gonna lay a pre-down is maybe take a field and do 20 acres of each one that you're thinking about choosing and you know, we've we've kind of got ours down to where we think we've we've got the best weed control. With the least amount of damage we use some in the past that are cheaper. But we had more injury, you know, so, you know, I guess you just kind of got to pick your poison. If you're gonna put a pre out with some of the new technologies with the you know, in list beans and the dicamba beans maybe a priest not as important as it should be but in my opinion we always Kind of use this as like preventative maintenance. We want to think we're grown up even when we're not and if we do that as a preventative maintenance, then we always stay clean dark clean. Stay clean and that's kind of our motto here.
