We all have our own opinion, just like a asshole.

He is driving too fast. Driving slowly reduces weed problems enormously!

Southern US here. Soil is mostly clay around where i live. So... i should just let it be and plant directly into the clay? Theres a small bit of topsoil, maybe like an inch or two, then its claymix. The soil is not well drained and while it is probably packed dense with nutrients because clay does that, its not really the most aeriated or easy for plant roots to grow in. You are basically telling me that i should till or plow, because it woudl be bad. I guess im just doomed to have crappy gardens, to hell with amending the soil!

smokes to much weed

Looks like you got some good farmers for neighbors. Take some notes from them.

Wow your so one sided ! Like all soil and crops have different needs .Your just another soil scientist that drank the no till juice. While I believe no till has its place the reduced till fits more soil types, and full on tillage is probably best in other types of soil and production.

We have in ground drip over 5600 acres, and use linear above ground on 4800. A throw back to when zero in pit, zero till organic mattered. It was just to valuable of a product not to invest in it. Now the market is saturated with organic in name only corporate farms. I’ve seen the price actually invert many times over the past 3 years on certain crops. The organic was cheaper. The only buyers who really care about nutrient density are animal feed buyers. They want the performance. The people food buyers are willing to coach you on how to grow crap that checks all the boxes legally, yet is inferior in nutrient density.. Think about that, the animals who consume those products have names, siblings, spouses and offspring. They love, hope and yearn for life and good health. Yet nobody cares about feed performance for them. CORPORATIONS SUCK, AND RUIN EVERYTHING! Buy local, dis enroll from the corporate food system whenever possible.

Excellent! This needed to be explained. As a wildlife biologist, the correlation of his data with the loss of soil, pollution, species diversity, etc is strong as iron!

I’m fully on board with regen ag but you said these farmers make excuses on why not to. Then you said you don’t even want to do the work, you want to lease it out.

Brave talk especially if you we’re giving it to conventional farmers

There is a time investment involved in going to regenarative that the large farmers are shying from the had rather pick up more acres with that extra time . Also you gave away your end game in years 4,5,6 and beyond increase rent .I both own and rent and only do regenarative on the acres I own at this time but that could change over time .

So guess what? If taxpayers are funding payments that Farmers, get, text Paris get a say in Howell, farmers farm, and the operations that farmers do affect the public waters and the public air and the public soil and the farm program which affects all of us and so we get to say how we want the farmers of the station to operate. If farmers want to be independent, they need to run profitable operations that don’t require subsidization by the rest of us.

Always love hearing what Joel has to say. Lots of gratitude for his work in this field. Though I don't see every issue as he does, his frank and good-faith way of speaking his mind is refreshing way of engaging these things that everyone else brings their torches and pitchforks to.

The slide of the pyramids got me wondering where in Egypt they actually are. I found them on Google Earth. They're right on the edge of Cairo, atop a bluff that defines that part of the Nile delta valley. It kind of wrecks the mysticism of the photo, but there's a Marriott golf course (>_<) 800ft beyond the rearmost pyramid in that photo. The Sahara was greener once upon a time, but that part of the world largely gets its water from the river, fed by rainfall further south in Africa. It's very possible that the elevated site of the pyramids was still desert back when they were constructed since the civilization was likely verdant less than a kilometre away. I raise this more as an aside FYI, not to argue against the general point Jason's making. The Sahara, Gobi, and other deserts are expanding and the world is losing arable soil at an unsustainable rate and Mr. Savory's work is very important. The Aral sea, and the history of cotton farming around its tributaries from the Soviet era onward, is an interesting but tragic case of this.

Hello! Liked your presentation 😊 I'm not a farmer, but a non-energy appreciator of the LAND... Questions in my head while watching, imaging myself on the farmer's place are: -where do I get seeds? do you have resources or mentoring to provide? are you vouching for the resources you offer? - are there specific techniques to improve a deserted land? what's the timeline to try those on a small scale (how soon the results are seen)? - Are you interested in mentoring in different us states? have you already tried? if so, how big is your network of supporting like-minded people? I'm curious, for non-experienced person how doable it is, how much energy needs to be involved for such a project like rejuvenating the land and reversing deserted land to a life? Just wanted to share my questions and see if you have an interest in sharing your thoughts? Thank you!😊

Hey I bud how are you making out I hope everything is going well for you love to stay in touch

Hippy types who didn't do a squat themselves teach and preach. Yawn. Too much of that bs.

This guy certainly will not feed the world or even himself using his philosophy, but redncks getting triggered by "climate change" to unleash usual flow of talk radio bs is hillarious and predictable.

I'm a farmer, and I've raised corn/soybeans both orgaincally and with chemicals. Corn is an excellent food. It's used in corn chips, corn meal, etc. If you want a cheap human ration, make it like hog feed. Corn, soybean meal, and a human tailored vitamin/mineral premix, make it by the ton like I do for the hogs. You also don't take into account the labor hours/bushel of corn/soybeans. I raised it organically like they did in the 1950's, it takes ALOT more man hours to make a bushel of corn organically vs. with chemicals. 3 to 4 preplant tillage passes to somewhat deplete the soil seed bank, then rotary hoe once before and once after crop emergence, then 3 to 7 row cultivations, where 1/10th of a mph makes a difference in throwing soil around the plant to suppress weeds. Have you ever farmed organically? Have you ever burned the tops off of weeds in soybean fields manually by using a weed burner operated by hand doing 2 rows at a time in a loader while someone drives the tractor? I have. If S ever HTF, I will raise corn with hand tools. Why? It is a highly efficient use of man hours to raise a crop, and you only lose 30% or so of yield by selecting the seed of hybrids to use in your next crop. Easy to weed, easy to store. Grind it by hand, hand thresh and roast soybeans for protein, you have it made. Don't even get me started on weeding soybeans in my 20's for so many hours I used a cane while weeding organic soybeans because my back ached.

Context is everything and no one thing works for everyone. Where I live in the SW USA bare soil temps can reach 140 degrees. nothing can grow in soil with that type of temps it kills all the life in the soil. We have done some keyline contour plowing on our pasture land to great benefit using a V ripper with curved shanks. This stopped run off and soil erosion but did not leave bare ground. Earlier this spring we were driving through dryland farm country in west Texas and the blowing soil was so thick it was dangerous to be on the highway. I would feel horrible if I were one of those farmers and someone lost a life driving through that blowing dirt. Having all your soil blowing off your crop land cannot be profitable. Some people are having very good results with no-till into rolled cover crops. Each farmer or rancher has to do what is best for the land they are trying to make a living on. We did find out a couple of years ago that planting alfalfa in bare ground was a losing proposition the stand was very poor. The next year we planted into haygrazer stubble and had a wonderful stand. My opinion is that no-till and chemicals kind of defeats the purpose of no-till. When we farmed 25 years ago we used much less chemical and just spot sprayed the parts that were infested.

You could go over it with a roller. We are planning on going over our notill oats with a land roller after seeding to help cover and for rocks

Great video. Barley as a cash crop? Will you follow with corn next year? Thanks for the up close view of the JD 750 in action. I run a 750 as well and that was fun to see. IMO, learn to run without the markers in daylight. However if you run it after dark, you will likely need them!

Definitely think this is the way to keep ourselves and family's healthy by growing our own vegetables in truly nutrious not these low quality foods

I agree with you there are a lot of lies under those world economic forum and the farmers in the Netherlands its all about control there are going to start cracking down on our private farms

And shit like mcchunda and choke e cola isn't food

he asked where is it going ....it is evaporating as co2

Thanks. Good info.

These links pertaining to soil degradation caused by early humans, as a consequence of burning, deforestation, plowing, and poorly managed grazing, may be of interest.

Oh boy we really need an AI detector to scan the soil, we don't have much energy to work up in the fields, the air quality is making much harder, this is the reality that we need to combine the effects of both natural and artificial with the minimum damage

Hello Jason, I really like the straight talk you employ in your discussion of this complex topic. I have recently moved onto a small parcel of about 45 acres in south central Ontario and have devoted myself to providing as much food as I can for my family of five. I am not a farmer but my family has farming roots as far back as you care to look. Health issues with my grandfather, whom I never met, redirected my grandmother into town and effectively off the land. I have been amazed just how much food can be produced with thoughtful gardening practices. I made an observation recently that I can drive for hours and not really see 'food' at least not any I would like to eat. We have local family farm stands nearby but the reality is that they are not really growing food either, a quick morning run to the food depot is more than enough to trick 'locals' into thinking they produce it themselves lol. All the info you mention about the importance of limiting soil loss is great and I commend you for swimming against the current. I have a degree in mathematics and can honestly say that growing in the natural world has provided me with me most elaborate forum for problem solving to date. My father claims I should have been born in the 60's as he thinks I am living in the past but what I find most interesting, however, is that this concept of growing food sustainably is not a thing of the past but a new problem for the future. A rototiller was the first implement I acquired when we began gardening and I have had my eyes, nose and ears opened with the concepts of cover crops and related no-till practices for gardening. I am excited (and a little concerned) to learn that growing food isn't something that our species has figured out perfectly yet, as it makes my interest in this relevant and not just a hippie(ish) lark. I realize that the scale I am talking about is small in comparison to your discussion, but that the overall ideas appear to remain the same. Sorry for the novel, but in short I would just like to again say Thank You for the thoughtful video and for the detailed graphs you use to inform your discussion and conclusions.

Keep up the awesome work JW!

Nothing wrong with plowing and tilling. Turning over last years died out crops adds biomass to the soil. It basically HAS to be done. It doesn't hurt anything. Like your video said....it's been going on for 7,000 years. There is a reason for that.

Another great video bud thanks for sharing do you farm by yourself or do you have help

Jason, maybe dig a small hole there and make some photos of the amount and composition of the roots

Great presentation! #savesoil

wind farm!

You happen to be coming to the Moultrie/Douglas County Illinois area any time? Seems one good thing about our current farm situation is that so few people do it that it also doesn’t take a lot of people changing their ways to make a difference.

Fantastic video!

Superb! All in such a short video.

😬😬😬😬😬

Very much enjoyed your presentation and appreciate you sharing these facts and so much information. Spot on.

I would love to talk to you more about regenerative farming and meeting Gabe Brown I also have his book I’m just unable to try or do anything like this right now unfortunately but I definitely want to

Hi bud great video I agree with you and want to do what you are doing I’m a farmer from Alberta Canada

Good video. Over the last few days, I've seen articles about growing small grains as maslins (a historic practice that reduces crop failure) and growing wheat between rows of Walnut trees (recent study where yield for both increased; my concern here differs from shade and water criticisms, I don't think that qualifies as true polyculture farming; instead, it comes off as two monocultures in my opinion).

😁✌️thank you for introducing Joel Salatin to me 🙏

Do you have data to show how this benefits the average farmers checkbook? Because at the end of the day everyone has a bottom line and if its not met youve just created yourself another problem. Would love to see statistical results of studies with real data and not just heresay please.

One of the most educational videos I have ever seen!!! Totally agree with you ,the question is ,how many of us will get this. Thanks for sharing

I highly recommend "Humus and The Farmer" by Friend Sykes, published in England around 1950, as he turned a worn-out chalk downland farm into fertile and productive ground again. I was born 65 years ago on a beef farm in South Devon in England, and although never a farmer myeslf, I have owned land, and have always tried to treat it as well as possible. Now without land, I grow potatoes in buckets and bins, having started with a vert small amount of Earth, and a lot of crumbly old bricks and mortar, as well as chalk ( I am in Sussex now ). I broke up Earth, bricks, mortar and chalk, and ran it through a fine sieve, which makes handling the Earth very easy. When planting, I would add chopped up twigs and cardboard, and as the potatoes grew, I would add more Earth, twigs, and cardboard, with a mulch finally on top. My ground is mainly concrete yard ( sadly ), with borders and one small earthen area, so I put sheets of cardboard on top of a sprinkling of Earth, on top of the concrete slabs, and worms soon find their way in, allowing me to steadily add to each pot or bin as many worms as I can possibly find. When I harvest, even if the 'Earth' is a first blend, and was recently old bricks and mortars, chalk. etc., the action of the worms in converting the twigs and cardboard into compost, turns the entire contents into very good Earth. I see Earth as my friend. I use Working with Earth as a healing meditation - far better than the idiots prescribing horrid pills for those whose minds are not happy. And growing potatoes is so simple, anyone can do it. And enjoy eating fresh potatoes - far better than from the supermarket. .

I learned through you

☝🏽no you are wrong. A lot of plants need loose soil to have a healthy and productive root system. There are so many things wrong with what you're saying.
