Hey listeners, welcome back to the Farm for Profit podcast. This podcast is going to have two introductions. It's going to be a little bit different than normal, but we want to share with you ahead of this episode that we had a great conversation. Husker Harvest Days, this is going to be one of the most amazing stories that we get to share. Two things. It's probably going to get turned off. Some of you are never going to get all the way to the end of this episode. Don't. And I would encourage you, listen. Stick it out. But two, I want to give you a warning. Between the 10-minute mark and the 20-minute mark of this episode, if you are a person that gets queasy, doesn't like potential gruesome stories, there are no visuals.
If you're watching this on YouTube, there is no visual that is going to cause any of this. But there is a portion of this story that... If your stomach is weak, we want you to know it's between the 10-minute mark and the 20-minute mark. You're welcome to fast-forward through that. You're not going to miss the meaning behind this episode. But I know that because I sometimes get that way. My family gets that way. Maybe this is a message more for my sister than anybody else.
I was going to say, everybody I know will be all right with it.
Yeah, you're also a former firefighter that is in a position in which you can... A little calloused. A little calloused. It's a fantastic episode. Super pumped to share it with you, but wanted to give you a little bit of that warning. So if you're here, stay in it with us. This is going to be fantastic. If that is the type of person that you are, 10 minute, 20 minute mark, fast forward, come back and join us.
Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, farmers, ranchers, and distinguished guests, thank you for listening to the Farm for Profit podcast, where we discuss the latest ideas, methods, trends, and techniques available to help your farm achieve higher levels of farm profitability. Remember, if you aren't farming for profit, you won't be farming for long.
So here to talk nitrogen stabilizers with a great representative from Corteva, I've got Andrew Luzum here. And welcome back to the podcast. Thank you. Appreciate it. You are in your role with Corteva. You get a lot of pushback. Maybe not pushback, but maybe there's a lot of myths that are created. What are some other things that you can help debunk for our audience as we talk today?
Yeah, I think some other myth that we hear is nitrogen stabilizers tie up our nitrogen or make it not plant available, right? That's not the case at all. By keeping it in the ammonium form, we talked through that a little bit ago, but keeping it in the ammonium form, the plant can still utilize it in the ammonium form. It actually prefers it. So it's not tying up your nitrogen, but it's going to keep it there in the soil profile available when the plant does need it. You know, we really look at corn needs, you know, the majority of their uptake between B6 and tassel. So it's got to be there when the plant needs it. And if it's lost before that, it's just a waste of money.
That's a good point. What about the myth around it's harmful for the soil?
Yeah, we've heard that before too, right? And we actually did a lot of work this last year with Trace Genomics, if you've ever heard of that company. Yeah. But they do a lot of biological testing, right, and tell you overall soil health, bacteria, etc. And we did a lot of this testing between where we have N-Servant Instinct and where we don't have it. And the reality is we're not killing these bacteria. It is an AMO enzyme inhibitor, but we're not actually a bacteria. So we're not killing these bacteria at the rates we're using commercially today.
If somebody wants to learn more about nitrogen stabilizers, how best do they do that?
Yeah, they should be able to do that through their local retailer to reach out to a local Corteva AgriScience rep. If they don't have success there, please just go to nitrogenstabilizers.com and you'll be able to see everything we've got going.
