00:00 So guys, I'm out here today just, uh, kind of doing a mid-season report on the a DS tile project. Uh, this is the second project we're doing with a DS, 00:08 where we, this one has not got the subsurface irrigation, just the, uh, you know, just the regular drain tile. 00:14 And you see these beams behind me. You know, they, they're pretty good beams, I think. I think they're gonna be, they, uh, 00:21 they wouldn't be here today without the tile. So we planted this field was one of the first fields that dried up on the farm ahead of some 00:27 of our sands due to the tile. And then, uh, come in here and planted a field. We got some flooding rains, you know, 00:33 the lower ends actually of the other fields that didn't have the tile in them didn't come up. You know, we had to come back and spot plant some of those. 00:40 So we're pretty excited with what we see. Uh, you can actually see the tile lines today, you know, still in the field. 00:47 I think that's because, you know, we were able to break that soil up as they install the tile. So anyway, just a mid-season report. 00:53 We'll, we'll know more after we get the yield off of it. We got this field, which is 40 acres against a 40 acres on 01:00 the top side of a little better soil, but with no drain tiles. So we should have some yield data information on 01:06 what the tile's doing in the delta, and, uh, we'll keep you posted.
