[00:00:22.190]Our next speaker is a Chad Bell. who's a farmer.
[00:00:25.940]he's going to present some of his, experiences that he's had.
[00:00:30.110]Becca did a nice job of, of introducing him. Now,
[00:00:33.800]when I messed up and assigned him the state of Iowa, which he
[00:00:38.570]is not from. So Chad, I apologize for that.
[00:00:43.340]Chad's
[00:00:44.720]presentation today is experiences and economics using cereal rye as a
[00:00:49.490]cover crop in Chad, you can go ahead and,
[00:00:53.600]start sharing your screen whenever you get ready. You may begin. Thank you.
[00:01:01.340]Okay.
[00:01:05.870]Can anyone see my screen?
[00:01:21.530]How does that look? Good, Chad. Okay, thanks.
[00:01:26.300]so my name is Chad bell. I'm a farmer from Marsha County and Illinois.
[00:01:31.130]So I'm quite a ways from, Nebraska,
[00:01:35.210]but I feel that some of my experiences are,
[00:01:39.320]very relevant to, the state of Nebraska and Iowa. So,
[00:01:44.570]it's a little bit about my background.
[00:01:49.130]sorry.
[00:01:52.880]34 years old had been farming full time since 2013.
[00:01:57.140]I do have a agronomy background,
[00:02:00.080]graduating from Illinois state university and,
[00:02:03.650]working in ag retail for a few years. And so I've been,
[00:02:07.260]been home on the farm now for a few years and farming corn, soybeans,
[00:02:12.290]wheat, and hay,
[00:02:13.700]and also have a 2,400 head wean to finish hog building
[00:02:19.370]then using cover crops since 2012.
[00:02:23.600]So here's a map of,
[00:02:28.670]Of,
[00:02:30.140]where I'm at here in Illinois and then in comparison to,
[00:02:36.590]or a at, versus Nebraska.
[00:02:38.900]So this picture on the right-hand side is the plant hardiness
[00:02:43.580]zone that I found on the USDA website. So,
[00:02:47.520]it looks like where I'm located versus at least a good portion of the state of
[00:02:51.950]Nebraska,
[00:02:53.660]is similar in minimum temperature or cold temperatures. So,
[00:02:59.230]I should have some pretty good relevant information to share.
[00:03:04.090]So a little bit about what I'm going to talk about.
[00:03:06.610]I'm going to have to go quick, cause I do have, quite a bit of information,
[00:03:10.420]but one of the talk about my experiences using cereal rye,
[00:03:14.320]and I just want to preface that by saying,
[00:03:18.460]if I use the term rye that I'm also referring to
[00:03:23.110]cereal rye, so, I'm going to use those,
[00:03:27.010]cereal rye and rye, interchangeably.
[00:03:30.310]So just remember that as I'm going through,
[00:03:33.640]I'm also going to talk about my management programs that I'm currently using.
[00:03:39.040]Also some management tips, if you're just looking to get started or want to,
[00:03:44.080]try to do some additional things with sir,
[00:03:47.650]your eye and corn in your, in your corn and soybean crops,
[00:03:52.240]as well as,
[00:03:53.500]talk about some economics of using cereal ride for weed control and soybeans.
[00:04:01.090]So I'll start with some good experiences that I've had using rye and corn.
[00:04:07.930]I learned early on that rye was very good at,
[00:04:11.830]slowing or stopping erosion.
[00:04:15.580]mostly on soybean stubble is where the biggest issue is that I have found.
[00:04:22.210]and a lot of that has to do with the late winter early spring rains that we
[00:04:27.130]get, that could possibly be on frozen ground.
[00:04:32.260]most of you probably have experienced a rain on frozen ground and
[00:04:37.240]it's not pretty, and there's unfortunately not a lot you can do about it.
[00:04:42.940]at times also I noticed improved soil tilts. So,
[00:04:47.830]the planning environment and a no-till situation,
[00:04:52.150]if you can let the ride get, some size to it,
[00:04:55.240]it really does change the top soil at the planning depth. And so it's,
[00:05:00.240]it's something that's kinda hard to describe without,
[00:05:04.240]experiencing it for yourself. And I've,
[00:05:08.320]been able to,
[00:05:10.090]limit my yield losses with a cereal Ryan corn.
[00:05:15.040]I know that's, that's a big concern of a lot of people that,
[00:05:19.240]either are just getting started or haven't started using any cover crops
[00:05:23.440]because, they hear about all the,
[00:05:28.600]bad things that can happen. And,
[00:05:31.210]and don't remember all the good things that can also happen.
[00:05:34.930]So I want to preface that with, with proper management, you can,
[00:05:38.980]you can achieve a little or no yield loss at all.
[00:05:45.130]some learning experiences,
[00:05:48.200]that I've went through,
[00:05:52.000]weather is a huge factor,
[00:05:54.880]and you can see this picture on the right.
[00:05:59.270]it was a pretty rough spring around here and coupled that with,
[00:06:04.940]doubled up aerial application area in a field with cereal rye,
[00:06:09.920]that picture probably had maybe a hundred pounds of rye in that specific area.
[00:06:15.050]You can see in the foreground, the corns really choked out and stunted,
[00:06:19.010]but then in the background, like horns much greener and more vigorous.
[00:06:24.020]So where the rye rate was doubled up,
[00:06:28.040]inadvertently really, hampered the corn in that area.
[00:06:33.500]And that was also coupled with a wet and cloudy cold spring. So,
[00:06:38.180]you put numerous issues together into one.
[00:06:42.080]They can compound each other and cause some, some issues,
[00:06:47.570]termination timing,
[00:06:48.890]I've experienced terminating first thing in the spring,
[00:06:53.180]all the way to after the corn is planted.
[00:06:56.180]And a little bit of everything in between,
[00:06:59.330]recommendation of mine is don't terminate the corn or don't terminate the rye
[00:07:04.100]if, your corn isn't planted yet. And it's approaching that,
[00:07:08.780]foot tall stage and your forecast doesn't look very conducive to getting
[00:07:13.340]planted soon because you can, you can terminate that rye.
[00:07:17.450]And if for some reason,
[00:07:18.860]the forecast keeps you out for several weeks that rye can,
[00:07:23.870]start to die down and fall over.
[00:07:26.810]Especially if it's a taller height, can shade the ground and prevent it from,
[00:07:31.790]warming back up when the sunshine finally returns and
[00:07:36.980]the feeling of watching everyone else plant around you while your soil is
[00:07:41.720]still mud. not a great feeling. I'd rather watch paint dry,
[00:07:48.440]also have to watch for army worms. So keep,
[00:07:52.460]monitor moth flights, and I'm sure the university of Nebraska,
[00:07:57.320]follows that pretty closely.
[00:08:01.010]So I haven't had a major issues from that front.
[00:08:05.600]I did spray a couple of fields here, the spring,
[00:08:09.110]just as a precaution.
[00:08:12.890]So my current program right now in corn,
[00:08:16.460]I'm using a 15 inch planner following the combine,
[00:08:20.840]to seed cereal ride. I'm doing that,
[00:08:24.740]on an angle to the rows and then I'm, strip-tilling anhydrous in the fall.
[00:08:30.560]And then coming back into the springtime and planting corn on those strips.
[00:08:35.870]And up until the spring, my planner set up was,
[00:08:41.210]heavy duty down pressure Springs, some standard row cleaners.
[00:08:45.170]And you had her spike closing wheels with drag chains and that's,
[00:08:49.610]that's in a strip till situation. I, I used very similar setup,
[00:08:54.320]prior to converting,
[00:08:55.860]mainly to strip till and a no till situation that I'm spraying
[00:09:00.720]the pre-emerge and Roundup together,
[00:09:05.100]when I'm planting green, at least,
[00:09:08.340]and that's following the planner pass and using a minimum of 40 units
[00:09:13.320]of nitrogen as UAN. And then,
[00:09:17.130]also adding five gallons of ammonium thiol sulfate for a
[00:09:22.050]boost, a sulfur, and,
[00:09:25.410]running about 44 ounces of Roundup. So a little contrary to,
[00:09:30.000]what Rebecca mentioned as far as a court rate of Roundup.
[00:09:34.350]The reason I'm using the higher rate is you can couple
[00:09:38.910]Roundup with a fertilizer source like UAN,
[00:09:42.270]and you can have some antagonism. And so I've even,
[00:09:45.990]I've even ran the 44 ounce rate of Roundup and,
[00:09:50.580]not had a hundred percent kill, on the, on the ride, but it's been,
[00:09:56.100]85%, 90% something that,
[00:10:00.500]I'm still happy with is just not a hundred percent.
[00:10:04.140]And then I follow all of those passes up with,
[00:10:07.950]broadcast with a row Gator of 46 units of nitrogen is super you right
[00:10:12.840]around that before timeframe management tips for corn,
[00:10:17.520]keep the seeding rate low,
[00:10:19.500]unless you really have a problem area for erosion. And then,
[00:10:24.450]I would go higher than that, but I see mainly 30 pounds.
[00:10:29.640]and the earlier you can get the rice established.
[00:10:33.120]You don't need quite as much seeding rate because that rye will tiller out,
[00:10:37.710]given good, weather thereafter. But,
[00:10:41.760]if you're seeding in that late October and November,
[00:10:46.680]December timeframe, the higher the rate,
[00:10:49.290]the better and consider a 15 inch rows over drilling or
[00:10:54.210]broadcast.
[00:10:56.610]a lot of people are using 15 inch planters for soybeans. And so,
[00:11:01.710]you have that equipment already sitting in the shed, so you can easily,
[00:11:06.240]well, hopefully easily, depending on the planter Mac manufacturer,
[00:11:09.210]convert that and use it to plant cover crops terminating less
[00:11:14.100]than eight inches or 12 inches as soon as possible in the spring are planting
[00:11:18.360]green. And like Rebecca mentioned.
[00:11:22.080]And I also mentioned before that,
[00:11:24.270]you can get by with 32 ounces around up as long as you don't have a are not
[00:11:29.070]running UAN with that pass,
[00:11:32.900]applying a minimum of 40 pounds of nitrogen at planting, either broadcast,
[00:11:37.860]with your pre-emerge chemical or planner applied.
[00:11:40.740]And that can be a starter fertilizer combination of starter
[00:11:45.360]fertilizer and furrow. and you don't necessarily have to,
[00:11:50.460]increase your total nitrogen rate for the corn crop,
[00:11:55.420]but it's important to reallocate,
[00:11:58.420]a larger portion than maybe what you're used to,
[00:12:02.200]from either fall or side dress and put it right there at the planning
[00:12:06.970]time,
[00:12:07.780]do it more of a front-load program at planning also
[00:12:12.670]consider strip tiller bio strip till.
[00:12:15.490]So this picture here on the left is a strip till,
[00:12:18.850]right after the planner pass,
[00:12:22.030]actually after the first rain on it, I believe. But, so it's,
[00:12:26.440]you can see that strip is completely clean of any,
[00:12:31.240]soybean residue or mainly clean,
[00:12:35.770]but it's definitely clean of the cereal rice. So when that,
[00:12:39.940]stripped toolbar, which is what I'm just using a standard DMI,
[00:12:44.260]anhydrous bar, when it goes through that cereal rye in the fall,
[00:12:49.060]it does clean that strip out. So,
[00:12:52.660]so far I haven't had to worry about,
[00:12:55.570]the cereal rye regrowing in that strip.
[00:13:01.480]So just some management tips for corn to sum it up a basic program would just be
[00:13:06.340]a broadcasting or Ariel terminating it,
[00:13:10.360]first thing in the spring,
[00:13:11.680]and then no tilling your corn and broadcasting some nitrogen at
[00:13:16.450]planting. if you want to advance it a little bit more than that,
[00:13:21.370]a drill or use a planner post-harvest,
[00:13:26.110]planting your corn green and then terminate it right after planning
[00:13:30.760]pre-emergence, you can strip till,
[00:13:33.730]and then also outfit your planner with liquid nitrogen and in
[00:13:38.320]furrow, next steps in corn,
[00:13:42.070]I'm considering a hydraulic actually I'm beyond considering I do have a planner
[00:13:46.750]now that's got hydraulic down force.
[00:13:49.720]and that was just mainly to ensure that I'm getting adequate
[00:13:54.520]depth and consistent depth over the,
[00:13:58.450]heavy duty down pressure Springs currently,
[00:14:01.780]considering in furrow starter on the planner.
[00:14:05.590]I haven't quite made that decision yet.
[00:14:08.680]and then I'm starting to use MESC for the sulfur and zinc.
[00:14:12.340]That's a dry fertilizer product. sulfur deficiency,
[00:14:17.050]I think, is becoming a bigger, bigger issue.
[00:14:20.200]And so I'm looking to transition away from using a
[00:14:25.210]map or 1152 zero,
[00:14:27.970]for the mez for that reason and a hog maneuver.
[00:14:32.650]So I mentioned I have a wean to finish hog operation as well.
[00:14:36.880]So in the background of that picture,
[00:14:38.530]you can see the hog building and right there in the middle is the split
[00:14:43.030]between, hog manure, in 2020.
[00:14:47.620]So in the background is my standard program with the fall strip
[00:14:52.460]till, pre-emerge UAN and then side dress.
[00:14:57.560]It hadn't been side dressed yet, but,
[00:15:00.680]still had 140 units of nitrogen in the
[00:15:05.240]background.
[00:15:06.260]And then the foreground had the hog manure and then 40 units of
[00:15:11.180]UAN planning. So you can see a pretty big color difference there. And,
[00:15:16.640]with the hog manure, it looks like there was a tillage effect,
[00:15:20.300]possibly running the applicator through there,
[00:15:24.590]as well as running the strip till bar through that,
[00:15:27.050]just to build a strip to plan into.
[00:15:29.390]So there's probably a couple of different factors influencing that,
[00:15:33.740]and there was a yield difference in the end,
[00:15:35.990]but you can see early on the corn in the background,
[00:15:39.500]I don't know if it just looked that bad or was that bad, or it just,
[00:15:44.480]the manure ground just made it look worse than it really was,
[00:15:48.320]but still respectable yield. And,
[00:15:52.160]compared to the hog manure,
[00:15:55.280]apparently I'm undecided on termination timing,
[00:15:59.360]doing it a ASAP or,
[00:16:04.610]continuing on green good experiences and soybeans,
[00:16:09.380]it's easier to manage than corn,
[00:16:11.900]simplest way like Rebecca mentioned to get started in cover crops.
[00:16:15.770]don't need a big, planner, fancy planner set up,
[00:16:20.990]in termination timing I have found is less critical in regards to,
[00:16:25.310]soybean yield.
[00:16:27.950]the more cover crop seed you put on,
[00:16:30.770]the more height you let the rye get,
[00:16:33.770]you can get more weed suppression and water happens is the biggest weed
[00:16:38.390]challenge we have in this area and this particular field,
[00:16:43.040]I turned in some samples, do you have I in 2013?
[00:16:46.940]And it was confirmed Roundup resistant waterhemp.
[00:16:50.070]So that was kind of an eye opening experience. And so I've really focused on,
[00:16:54.650]more residual or heavier residual herbicide programs
[00:17:00.290]coupled with the cereal rise, weed suppression.
[00:17:03.530]So owning a sprayer reduces some of those timing issues,
[00:17:07.550]learning experiences, aerial application plus good weather,
[00:17:12.560]warm weather and rainfall. You can cause some,
[00:17:17.600]issues with the ride getting pretty big in the fall.
[00:17:20.330]And this was a picture from 2016, I believe,
[00:17:25.400]and low on the rye off with the Draper head and running that green stuff through
[00:17:29.780]the machine. It wasn't a big issue,
[00:17:31.250]but as soon as the Duke came on and in the evening, it was a dead stop,
[00:17:36.530]select max. So I'm gonna talk a little bit later about,
[00:17:40.400]using non GMOs or growing non GMO soybeans now on a portion of my acres.
[00:17:45.500]And so I had to,
[00:17:47.510]use select max as a right burned down the spring,
[00:17:51.570]and I knew it was slow obviously, but I didn't,
[00:17:54.960]you don't realize how slow it is until you're using it for the main burndown.
[00:17:59.640]so like shaded the beans a little bit, and they got,
[00:18:03.750]spindly and lodged a little bit, not too bad, but,
[00:18:07.260]definitely not something that I, was wanting to see.
[00:18:11.220]And then some additional straw running through can slow everything down to,
[00:18:16.680]these two pictures are, post application of the select max,
[00:18:21.120]which I believe was right around the 1st of June, first pictures, June 8th.
[00:18:25.470]So you can see it's driving by,
[00:18:27.810]you wouldn't even know that field had been sprayed yet.
[00:18:30.780]June 28th on the right. Oh, you can see it's pretty well,
[00:18:35.070]browned up, but it's still standing. That's a difference that I've noticed,
[00:18:40.200]using Roundup is that it,
[00:18:42.660]breaks down that rye pretty fast and lets it go down
[00:18:47.700]current program plant 15 inch rows.
[00:18:50.460]Same as I had a corn I'm spraying my residual early
[00:18:54.870]spring and I'm just making that a sacred pass,
[00:18:58.200]planting green and then terminating the rye, after planning.
[00:19:03.060]And then I'm following that up with a residual herbicide plus a little bit
[00:19:07.590]around it for grass insurance.
[00:19:11.100]And this is in my Roundup ready soybeans.
[00:19:15.210]and I've seen with the better weed control from a combination
[00:19:20.040]of the heavier, residual program, coupled with,
[00:19:24.750]using cereal rye. I really have no need for,
[00:19:28.860]the extend or enlist platform, at least at this moment,
[00:19:32.310]except for a couple of fields that we have picked up in the last couple of years
[00:19:36.690]that, didn't have our current management program being applied. So,
[00:19:41.760]we've had to use some of those,
[00:19:45.540]programs on those particular fields just to kind of get weeds
[00:19:50.700]under control and kind of start in our program.
[00:19:54.060]Successful programs require hand polling and spot spraying and your problem
[00:19:58.080]areas.
[00:19:58.500]And that's where I've seen the biggest benefit and slowing weeds
[00:20:03.360]down mainly waterhemp is keeping the field edges and Ben's throws
[00:20:07.980]clean. I think that's a big,
[00:20:10.440]big key for me management tips,
[00:20:15.150]sitting rates not as important,
[00:20:16.800]but if you're using it for weed suppression or weed control, the higher,
[00:20:20.370]the better, spraying a good residual ahead of planning is what I do.
[00:20:25.110]And I think that's key for, for any program.
[00:20:30.120]And you can add the Roundup for simplicity to terminate the ride at the same
[00:20:33.930]time,
[00:20:34.710]especially if you're planting beans and April or even may.
[00:20:39.390]You can also, sprayer,
[00:20:44.150]residual only and come back later to maximize your cover crop.
[00:20:47.320]If you're unhappy at that moment with what it is,
[00:20:51.670]narrow rows equals earlier, canopy planting green, like I mentioned,
[00:20:56.770]doesn't take anything real fancy, just a standard, no till setup.
[00:21:01.930]And then you can terminate it with a quarter round up pretty easy,
[00:21:06.820]basic management tips, broadcasting and Ariel in the standing corn,
[00:21:10.810]before you harvest,
[00:21:12.340]then you can terminate in the spring with your residual has one pass,
[00:21:17.260]or if you want to do things a little different,
[00:21:20.680]to ensure a better stand you can drill or planet after harvest and then,
[00:21:25.060]spray the residual only first thing in the spring and then terminate a post
[00:21:28.900]emergence, after the beans are up,
[00:21:31.990]which are not crop insurance approved after remind people that,
[00:21:36.490]with Roundup or,
[00:21:38.440]Rebecca also mentioned a roller crimper is a good option to next steps.
[00:21:43.090]For me, I'm considering a weed wiper attachment,
[00:21:46.870]especially for, my non GMO's.
[00:21:51.400]maybe it's a terrible idea. I haven't really bounced it off too many people yet,
[00:21:55.120]but,
[00:21:56.560]being able to use a weed wiper to run Roundup in my non GMO
[00:22:01.390]soybeans to terminate the cereal rye.
[00:22:03.850]So terminating four or five,
[00:22:06.820]six foot tall cereal rye with a weed wiper when the beans are B2 or
[00:22:11.680]B3. So, just a couple inches tall at that point,
[00:22:16.150]it would kill and melt down the cereal rye much faster,
[00:22:18.670]and hopefully it less cost than using select max
[00:22:24.670]next step, possibly roller crimper as well as the,
[00:22:28.990]weed wiper, but it requires higher seeding rate.
[00:22:33.040]And the units that I've seen at least for brand new ones are pretty
[00:22:37.690]expensive. and it would allow for a better sunlight sooner.
[00:22:42.010]And it's just a different mode of action for,
[00:22:46.450]stopping weeds, probably better for the soil to
[00:22:51.160]cover crops and wheat.
[00:22:52.090]So I mentioned first thing that I do grow a little bit of wheat,
[00:22:56.680]just put in my second crop. So I'm still figuring out how to,
[00:23:01.900]how to manage wheat, but,
[00:23:03.970]it really opens up your options for pretty much any cover crop. So,
[00:23:09.040]mid July is when we harvest a typical wheat harvest timing around here
[00:23:14.590]and that opens the window to doing fall forages or any diverse
[00:23:19.480]mixes. And it maximizes your opportunity,
[00:23:23.260]and your investment by adding a couple months of extra growth,
[00:23:27.760]available growth time. This picture was sorghum Sudan,
[00:23:32.110]grass that I put in falling wheat,
[00:23:34.630]for a neighbor to chop for his cattle.
[00:23:37.930]So I guess it wasn't necessarily a cover crop, but,
[00:23:41.620]I grew fast and they chopped it.
[00:23:43.390]And then we came back in behind it with cereal arrive for a fall cover.
[00:23:48.650]So hopefully I got enough time to get through the cereal rise, weed control.
[00:23:54.050]these are just some standard, a standard program on the right with,
[00:23:59.060]a standard program for me,
[00:24:03.470]using cereal rye on the, on the right. And those,
[00:24:08.780]two costs down at the bottom application costs are already figured into there.
[00:24:12.920]So there's an $8 nacre difference there between those two programs.
[00:24:19.880]So, at least in Illinois,
[00:24:23.810]they are offering here the last two years,
[00:24:27.500]a crop insurance discount for using cover crops. And I don't know,
[00:24:30.890]I'm not familiar if Nebraska has any programs available yet through
[00:24:35.570]RMA, but that is something that,
[00:24:38.450]Illinois is had the advantage of here, last year.
[00:24:42.050]And then for this upcoming year paying $5 an acre.
[00:24:46.550]I saw a lot of my soybeans are Cargill and they're starting to pay some money
[00:24:50.750]for, cover crops.
[00:24:52.640]So between those two different programs,
[00:24:56.090]I've been able to gain 15 bucks an acre on,
[00:24:59.990]on several acres of soybeans by using cover crops.
[00:25:04.040]And there's a lot of talk now with new administration on,
[00:25:08.180]potential carbon payment programs. And so that's,
[00:25:13.370]I guess we just have to stay tuned on, on that with,
[00:25:16.520]individual companies and, some others,
[00:25:20.960]so that eight or $8 an acre difference gets you a nutrient sequestration
[00:25:24.980]water-holding capacity, more biological activity.
[00:25:28.550]And also some funny looks from your neighbors and the retailer
[00:25:33.740]that you work with.
[00:25:36.860]Here's a non-GMO Bain program versus the non GMO
[00:25:41.750]program I used, this past year with cereal rye.
[00:25:47.000]So there's really no difference in the end, with this program.
[00:25:52.310]And so I'm just going to finish up by, comparing,
[00:25:56.900]the cheapest program,
[00:25:58.280]which is just a standard run of the mill Roundup ready program versus the
[00:26:03.200]most expensive one of non-GMO with cover crop.
[00:26:06.890]So you can see the differences about 13 bucks, an acre and herbicide costs,
[00:26:12.650]and assuming $11 90 cent fall soybeans as of a couple of days ago,
[00:26:17.540]we're off from that now, but, you can see,
[00:26:21.260]non-GMO is paying about a dollar 40 for premium in the area now,
[00:26:25.820]and it's,
[00:26:27.350]can give you 70 to $98 an acre depending on,
[00:26:32.090]what you figure for a yield goal or yield estimate.
[00:26:36.950]So I'm just gonna use 60 bushel per acre for the math,
[00:26:41.600]$84, an extra premium going with non-GMO,
[00:26:45.090]but you have $13, extra herbicide costs.
[00:26:49.350]Your seed cost is $20 less, at least in my case. So,
[00:26:54.270]there's pretty good profit potential with non-GMO.
[00:26:57.990]if you have a market in your area. So,
[00:27:01.470]coupling non GMO soybeans with cover crops is,
[00:27:05.330]looks like a pretty good situation, at least at the moment. So you can,
[00:27:10.260]you can afford to give up some yield,
[00:27:12.990]with non-GMO to break even on profit.
[00:27:16.980]that's just taking in consideration your herbicide costs and your seed
[00:27:21.840]savings costs. So with that, I think I'm finished. So,
[00:27:26.880]there's my contact information.
[00:27:29.820]you're welcome to email me or call me if you have any questions,
[00:27:34.380]after this, or, want to talk about anything. So with that, thanks.
