I wonder how much this topic has to do with resistance to herbicides because people weren't treating it correctly. And basically the effectiveness wasn't as good in just building that resistance up in plants. I think it's not going to take care of all of it, but I do believe there's a decent amount that if we were to take care of the water quality... and take care of our pH, and we can talk about half-lives here in a minute, that you're going to have so much more active ingredient that you're going to see a pretty good response. And what I like to ask people, and Caden, I'll put you on the spot, you think about a post-pass, I mean, how many dollars per acre are you talking on your post-pass in terms of hard chemistry?
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.
We need a handle like KPQX. We could do one of their, what's the boron, what's the molybdenum, what's that product? M-O, moly. Boron dual. Oh, boron. XR5. XR5. KSB. KSB. Right? Yeah. Can't go wrong with that one. I'll have to give it like talk like November Henry 802. The XR5 KSB radio show. Morgan. I was going to say, now you're no longer a pilot and you're a radio. Yeah. We could do it all. Well, wherever we pick this up, listeners, thanks for joining us. If you got to listen to some of that, that's what it's like day two of Trade Show Morning. Glad to be sitting here in the AgX booth. Going to have a great conversation here, talking a lot about how important water is and probably not the conversation that you're thinking we're going to have.
It's very important after a night of karaoke. It is. What would be your karaoke song, Dave? Oh, David Allen Co. For sure. You never even call me by my name. Yes. Wow. I'm a Johnny Cash guy. Yeah? I like a duet.
Why is water quality crucial for herbicide effectiveness?
I can get my wife to come up. What's that one song that you just... Like, you just... Tequila. That's it. That's all you... Tequila. That's the me one. We did not go karaoke last night. What were you guys singing? We sang Simple Man, Leonard Skinner, some Eagles, I think. And then, yeah, I sang the Jack Black Tenacious D. Can't go wrong with a little Tenacious D. Yeah. I think we should hear a little bit. Yeah. Maybe tonight. Yeah. Maybe tonight. Deal. Got it. Pixar didn't happen. Well, that's a really fun opening to a pretty serious show. It is.

You can also see us on Spotify. That's cool. You can. It is. And coming soon to Apple Podcasts. Video? Oh, I feel like that's a relief.
What chemical interactions occur in the spray tank?
That's like news I didn't know. It's news that not very many people know. We're going to be part of the trial of putting video out on Apple Podcasts. So more to come. Hopefully it goes smoothly.
