So when you're discussing about controlling this tough weed, because it seems like it's gotten pretty out of control over there as well, what do you talk about? And is there any different traits where you're like, okay, this might help a little bit better than this one? Is there anything like that that you discuss?

Yeah.

So first, outside of the trait that you decided to plant, it's starting clean and making sure you're putting down a residual herbicide that can control those weeds even before they've emerged is really good for control.

Also diversifies your site of action, so you're delaying herbicide resistance and allowing yourself to get a lot more time in the spring to do all the other planting and things that you have to do on your farm.

But for post-emergence control, that's largely dictated by the trait package or trait that you decided to plant in either your corn or soybean plays probably a much more bigger role in soybean with the number of traits we have and also the kind of current resistance landscape that we're out with most of our populations being resistant to glyphosate or Roundup and then a lot of the ALS chemistry.

So knowing what resistance profile you have at your farm is important and that can then help dictate what trait you're going to be planting to make sure that you have an effective post to apply to those individuals that break through that residual

hey aaron that brings up a good a good question that i that i thought of is if you think that you might have resistant weeds out in your field should you send those things in where should you send them to and is this something you're seeing widespread or if someone sees something on their farm is it maybe just within their field or is it that area you can really start to find these things

It's a great question.

So Kicking things off for the Season 2 Origins Edition, we're excited to hear from Aaron Burns.

Sure.

Well, like a lot of people who are in film today, I started off making movies in my backyard with my cousins and my friends.

We had grew up with some woods and some land behind our house.

So I always have used to tease my dad that his greatest mistake is when he loaned us the chainsaw.

And we went in the woods and we cut down a bunch of trees and built this log cabin.

So of course we got to make a pioneer, you know, Cowboys and Indians movie now.

But I

So how exactly did this, uh, whole project, uh, about James Stewart, like come about and how was the decision made to focus on this particular point in his life and career?

There's an old saying, don't get too close to your heroes or you'll be disappointed.

I've found that to be the case with a lot of movie stars or classic people from the past that you fall in love with.

You dive a little deeper and you realize, eh.

You know, they're just broken like all the rest of us.

And of course, Jimmy is very much a human with flaws and foibles.

But I was familiar with his work, familiar with his everyman persona and blah, blah, blah.

So how do you get that out of him?

Why do you think now is a good time to release the film? Do you think that there's this specific time in history or where we are now, it's much needed? Or what do you think?

So 80 years ago is when It's a Wonderful Life came out this fall.

When we released the film, we'll be right around the 80th anniversary of It's a Wonderful Life.

And something amazing about that movie is something that I enjoy asking the question, what makes things timeless? Why are there some stories that are told over and over again, some movies that are watched over and over again, and others that are not? And with It's a Wonderful Life, it has that sense of timelessness and why? I think that's a good question to ask anytime.

But with Jimmy, with our film, Jimmy, I see so much division in our world today, so much even in just in our country of America.

There's so many people who want to put labels on others and then use the labels to fight against each other.

And it's way more interesting to tell a story.

sure

And if you can just start with sharing with us, how did your football journey begin?

Thank you for having me first and foremost.

It's a podcast that I've watched a couple of times and really enjoy, so I'm happy to be here.

My journey started in sort of like the early 90s.

My mum, I was born in 1987, but my mum was 16 when she had me a single parent and she didn't, finish her GCSEs because of my arrival.

So I grew up in Moss Side, which is in a city, Manchester, and at those points in the late 80s and 90s was notorious for some not so good stuff, even though the football was starting to thrive.

So I didn't really get into football until we moved out of the area.

Talk about that.

Yeah.

You have development, which is often the longest, 'cause that's when y- you have that idea, "Wouldn't it be cool if we made a movie about Jimmy Stewart?" And then from there, you're trying to get the opportunity, the rights to tell the story, and then working on the screenplay, and then finding the financing, and the distribution deals, and then the locations.

And that's this long, drawn-out, elaborate process.

Then you move, once that's all there, you get, at the end of development, you have what's called a green light, that you get to make the movie.

And you think, "Ah, great.

We're green-lit." But then the real work begins, and you're in pre-production.

And for this, on, on, on Jimmy, that's heading over to Ireland for a couple of months of building sets and finding your actors and hiring your crew and putting it all together.

Yeah
