Goes into feed. Feed. Run it through the roller mill and feed it.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of people that don't, you know. Yeah, the people from the outside. So we get a lot of tour groups that come through and different things. And they're like, well, why don't you try different crops? Like, there's got to be a market, you know? I mean, it's hard to beat corn. Corn and soybeans have the markets. They do because they grow well where we grow them.

And so it's hard to find something that can compete with that, you know? Yeah. Which is unfortunate, but it's the reality of the world we live in.

the N unit or N row unit, they called it. We started with that because I was convinced I had to have a 24 row to match up with my 24 row planters, which turned out, you know, the machine worked fine, but we have since then

uh traded for a 16 row coulter machine which i i like for our situation a whole lot better um number one the rock um but uh also i just i like the strip it makes better i need a wide you know i need a nice 10 inch wide black berm here um and i felt that does it better than that mole knife did um but yeah we do most our strips in the fall

Um, we, we put down a little potassium in the strip, maybe like 50, 60 pounds. And that's about it. Um, we do not hardly buy any, uh, DAP or MAP or anything because of all the manure. So we have our feedlot manure, and then we have, um, relationships with a bunch of, uh, large swine producers. So we pump, we pump about 10 to 12 million gallons of swine manure as well. Wow.

So we don't, we don't buy hardly any PNK fertilizer other than a little bit of potassium in some strips here and there. Um, And so, yeah, we strip in the fall. Mainly we're just making a strip other than if we're putting down a little bit. Some of our cattle manure acres we'll put, we'll VRT them. So we grid sample and then, you know, how inconsistent cattle manure can be in a bedpack situation.

So we just fill in them holes with a little bit of P and K and, you know, just little low spots. But for the most part, we maybe put, you know, fertilizer on 10 to 15% of the acres of the field, you know, just to even it out. Um, and then, uh, and then, yeah, we just roll in, in the spring and plant our corn on corn acres. We do freshen if we didn't bail the stocks off of it.
