[00:00:00.000]The Nebraska Extension On-Farm Research project dealing with Pod Ceal, dry beans, and an area farmer just completed its second year.
[00:00:08.440]John Thomas, Nebraska Extension crops educator, tells us more on the project they are working on with the help of Box Butte farmer Tim Hashman.
[00:00:17.200]Quite a few people up in our area, which is the northern panhandle, use a product called Pod Ceal,
[00:00:24.220]which when you're direct harvesting beans, you spray it on the beans with the desiccation.
[00:00:30.000]It's a coating that goes on the beans that makes those pods just a little bit tougher.
[00:00:35.320]And so that when you harvest, the pods don't shatter as readily and you don't lose as many beans on the field.
[00:00:43.080]It's
[00:00:44.380]the second year at Tim's that we have this product. There's a lot of variables. So from
[00:00:50.960]one field to the next or from year to year using a product, there's going to be some different
[00:00:57.340]variables that can affect that. We've just harvested the study. I'm not sure what our
[00:01:02.680]results are yet this year, but we have to look at something more than one year. We want to look at
[00:01:07.680]something two, probably three years before we determine if it's really a value or not.
[00:01:13.920]So this is the second year with Tim. He's just been a good grower to work with.
[00:01:18.880]Again, that is John Thomas, Nebraska Extension Crops Educator.
[00:01:22.760]Ag Watch has been brought to you by the UNL Panhandle Research Extension and Education Center.
