JY is all about soil health. He lives it out on his farm and he lives it out in his faith. Mark 4. Thanks for being a faithful sower of the Word, Jay
Hi Jay .... I love your videos man...your definitely one of the biggest and best Regenerate Agricultural channels..... along with Greg Judy, Joel Salatin and Gabe Brown. Man your energy's awesome and everything you say is brilliant...definitely need a lot of conventional farmers to switch to your ideas and methods, because it works and it's cost effective and healthy for the soil and us.
Thanks mate...keep up the great work
Jamie
I'm not a farmer but do enjoy a home garden. I like to see what real farmers are doing and these latest regenerative techniques are becoming more mainstream.
Jay, buddy; you are my favorite farming video producer-but-you’re making me crazy. It’s INfiltration, not filtration. The rest of your commentary is exceptional.
I’m attempting a regenerative home vegetable garden which is essentially a perpetual seed starting and planting process and it’s starting to really work. Your experiences with Johnson-Su is helpful.
Keep filming and teaching us.
Lol
That’s not the only mistake I’ve made. I just got roasted on TikTok for calling nitrogen a micronutrient instead of a macronutrient
And I said corn doesn’t share corn with corn
When I was meaning to say corn doesn’t share micronutrient with other corn plants
Found your channel recently and find this stuff interesting. What about 10th gen dairyman though?
I don’t follow your question. Is that a channel?
@@youngredangus6041 yeah 10th generation dairyman, that's my channel.
@@10thgenerationdairyman61
I’m embarrassed
I didn’t read your name. 2 your channel is huge and I didn’t know about it.
What is the best video to start with?
@@youngredangus6041 lol it's all good. I guess pick one that interests you, hard to say. I like the corn silage harvest videos.

That was so funny and educational, even for me because I'm a gardener and I still glean new knowledge. Keep it up. Maybe your neighbor will come visit and asked what you're doing. I watched Dr. Johnson do a webinar with Dr. Elaine Ingham. They both said the mature product of the JSCB is a vermicompost. when I thought about it, It made sense since we're using worms to process the compost after it heat up. I use my home food scrapes with some mulch when I feed the worms in the worm bins. the end results is vermicompost.
I’m seeing more armor left on the soil in the counties I bowhunt in SE Nebraska. Think it’s increasing. Love Regen Ag.
That encouraging
Did you have any luck hunting?
love the creativity...laughed a lot
Well done and explained in terms anyone can understand.
Thanks David!
Hey Jay! Fantastic video! I really appreciate how you summed up a lot of REALLY IMPORTANT information clearly and concisely, but also with enough background information to highlight WHY these things are essential to regenerative farming methods. And that #6 principle of "context" is really important, as I can remember feeling like I was failing every time I had to do tillage on our farm after we started using regenerative practices. Once Ray and Gabe and those guys tacked that extra line-item onto the list of principles, I think it helped a lot of folks feel more comfortable with the process of figuring these methods out on their own farms, and knowing there's no single perfect way to do it.
Just for context, we're doing a lot of the same things you are, but on a small family farm up in Minnesota. This was my first year using compost extract, but we made our compost using the Soil Food Web method - mainly because we didn't have a conditioned space to house a J.S. Bioreactor. Luckily, I had some well-aged compost that was very fungal, so I think we'll be in good shape. There are some clever farmers up here tucking bioreactors into heated shops, old root cellars, and I've even seen one hanging out in the corner of a cozy milk house! Folks are finding creative ways to get onboard, and it's awesome.
I'll be putting some videos up this winter showcasing how we made our compost, did the extraction, and retrofitted our old equipment to apply the extract in-furrow. I think it's important to show folks this can work on operations of all sizes.
Love the channel! Thanks for putting the word out on all of the things you're doing. We're all stronger and more innovative when we work together and share ideas!
You overlooked the major reason making the difference in yours and the neighbors. More soil moisture is lost by the neighbor because after a root takes its available moisture there is still much Hygroscopic moisture. The air can remove more of this tightly held moisture, surface tension competes with roots. Soil moisture has to be brought up in soil before roots can take up moisture again. Your soils have 1/3 fine sand with mostly silt and montmorillonite clay. This clay holds water between clay sheets that your dry air can remove more than roots.
Jay. Couple questions. 1. Does the extract process kill the biology and fungus? Seams like if tillage would do that then breaking up the compost would too? 2. What does the freezing process do to the biology? Does it hibernate it? Do you have to keep your reactors above freezing during winter?
Yes
You will kill some of the compost when it goes through through the extractor but not all of it.
No where near having your ground tilled because it is exposed the biology to the sun and the elements
Freezing it will kill a lot of it but they also put out spores so it will still have some benefit.
We keep ours in a heated shed
freezing causes the microbes to go to sleep. You can go on the internet and even youtube to see how they will go to sleep in winter and drought. It a protective mechanism God design into them for survival. They form a covering and will be ready to go to work when things warm up or become moist again or both. The worms will die, but they have thousand of eggs that will be ready to hatch out as soon as it warms up. My JSCB is outside. Jay is inside which is awesome. He has control temp and can protect the JSCB from the element. Some of the fungal hyphen will be broken during extraction but they will be alive. actually Microbes are very tough.
If it makes you feel better, I think it’s the greatest farm UA-cam channel😂 at least it is for me because you have the same interest and passion about soil health as me, and that’s hard to come by on UA-cam. I think it’s fun learning more about regenerative ag and you provide that.
Thanks for the encouragement!
If more farmers begin the quicker we truly save our little or big chunks of the planet.
Grow everywhere.
That’s the plan. Do you farm Howard?
@@youngredangus6041 Yes sir , I am a Ytube to Gabe Brown convert doing what I can on the patch of dirt the Lord put me in charge of .
@@howardryburn9646
awesome where is your farm?
@@youngredangus6041 Close to Sherwood Oregon. We have a 290 acre wildlife refuge on 2 borders of our family 3 acre property. Local regulations only allow 1/2 acre of production which give us space for critters later on .
Your “real farming.” I enjoy the posers, they are entertaining. But your really talking about stuff that matters. Strategies, methods, principles. I appreciate that about you.
Thanks Tom. I think the others do a good job of showing what they are doing and taking people on a journey with them. I don’t watch the ones that do that though because I like learning about the science that is going on in the soil
I am a small part time farmer with my dad and cousin. They don't buy into regenerative agriculture really. With did plant a couple fields with cover crops but they like tillage. How did you convince your dad to go to regenerative agriculture?
Great question
I’ve been asked to do an episode with my dad I probably need to do that episode
He has been hesitant but the money we have saved with compost extract has been the biggest eye opener.
@@youngredangus6041 Thanks for reply. I know the cover crops gave a 6 bushel increase on soybeans in one year. It was enough to convince them to try some more. My dad is 68 years old. Hard to convince them to change after the same process for so long.

Are you guys close enough to me to come to the free workshop we are doing Dec 7th?
@@youngredangus6041 We are in southern Illinois. So not really. Also work. I will continue to watch all your videos and try to change my little world. I have implemented rotational grazing and increased weight gain on steers by .3 pounds per day.
Where can you buy the compost? Do you apply it all as liquid?

Im experimenting with the bio5. I have an indoor setup. 1 bucket with bio5 and one bucket without. Sweet corn germinated at the same time in both buckets. I wish I could figure out how to attach a picture. Results are not what I expected. I need a second opinion.

I'm really enjoying your content! What video editing software do you use?
I use InShot. Brenda with farmgirl films edited this.
I’ll ask her what she uses
She uses Adobe premiere.
@Andrew Malcomson, hello! I use Adobe Premiere when I do the edits for Jay. It's the third platform I've used. If you are looking to begin and would be editing on a computer, I highly recommend DaVinci Resolve. There is a free version and it has a lot of the bells and whistles that Premiere has without the cost. It is what we use at my school for my students.
have you considered 60-inch corn rows with cover crops to graze after the corn is harvested?
We will do test strips this year
Have you done any 60inch corn?
@@youngredangus6041 No. I am not a farmer....I work for the Dept of Defense in Washington DC. I have seen folks (online) who are doing it and I am wondering about it as a method for expanding the ability to graze cattle while making good use of cover crops.... You strike me as a very thoughtful and practical person (who happens to be a farmer) and so I wondered if you had tried 60-inch corn and/or if you had views on that question.
@@shawnsteene5499
Thanks for the encouragement.
I’m going to try it on Dryland and irrigated this year.
A guy in Wyoming has had good success in dry years on 60inch corn with cover crops interseeded.
@@youngredangus6041 I am very interested in watching you try it out....
There ia a TED talk on the benefits huge herds stampeding the soil doing what you are talking about.
Do you have the link
@@youngredangus6041 Hi Jay, I think he could be referring to this link. When I post it on Ag forums I get a mostly negative reaction with some people saying he's a crook and it's been debunked. I haven't had time to do further follow up. Love your channel btw! ua-cam.com/video/vpTHi7O66pI/v-deo.html
I would love to try your system but I farm in costal South Carolina with our heat in summer runs 100 plus will not be able to hold micro
Correct
Any place I can get additional information

Russell Hendrick is close to you in North Carolina
I’d watch as much stuff that he has on UA-cam as possible
I live in Denton, tx outside of Dallas, Tx. My JSCB is outside in 110-116 heat index in the summer. It's made up of wood mulch, llama poop, molasses and humid acid. Thee worms and microbes do fine as long as you provide 1-2 mins watering twice a day in the heatwave. Right now I watering 1 min every 2 days cause it winter. tonight we will hit 28. A month ago we hit -5 for 2 days. I have it on an Orbit 62061Z Single-Outlet Hose Watering Timer, 1, Green . I got my orbit from lowes. They have a 6 yr battery. i hand one last 4 yrs, they replace it. I'm a gardener, not a farmer, but they principle is the same.
have you considered 60-inch corn rows for better light down to the cover crops and for each corn row…and then grazing those cover crops afternthe corn is harvested? you farm for a living, so I would not presume to know more than you but that notion seems sensible to me and I am curious about your take on the practice….
Are your wheat field dryland? Are you able to use your cover crops dry land in your low rainfall area?
It works well if you can graze cattle on them. If you can’t get cattle on them it’s hard to make it pencil in. One thing I’m working more on next year is doing more cover crops interseeding into our dry land. (Milo, corn and wheat)

The wheat in the video is dryland
Yep, build the oxalic acid crystals with the fungi
Is a vertical till lumped in with the no disturbance principle?
Yeah I’d put that in this category because it breaks up the armor on the soil and kills your fungal populations
Do you farm Dustin?
Jay is there any sort of organization that you know of up here in Canada? This is so important that it would be nice if we could get some one to come and talk at our ag show in February.
Let me ask around and I’ll let you know what I find out
What part of Canada?
Are you on Facebook?

I guess the USDA has a communist style garden registry called "the Peoples Garden" but you have to be commercial farm in the first place at this time. Commercial farm or not 'they" seem to have data scraping bots that automatically register you anyways to (the Peoples Garden).
All your data is online and your gonna have to check and unregister yourself probably at some point in time. Regardless the USDA wants your garden revised in some form or fashion just like your firearms. A national registration is in place.
Hi Jay...just got around to watching this video - indeed, a great one with basic explanations of how to build and maintain soil health. You're becoming a soil farmer for sure. However, I personally will be much happier when everyone STOPS using these two words - no till. No till is an oxymoron [my rational with explanation is too long for this comment except to say anytime you break the soil's surface with whatever method you be tilling]. Minimal till is more factual. Keep the great videos rolling! Cheers...
Yeah
I’ll still use it just because so many people think a vertical tillage machine only going 2 inches deep is the same as a no-till drill and I disagree with that one
Cattle do a of surface tillage! Also cause more water runoff by compaction and organic decomposition.
@@robertreznik9330 I'd appreciate any documented research you're aware regarding your last sentence claim [thank you in advance]. About your first sentence...beyond this channel, Gabe Brown has a lot of information worth the time to investigate. Cheers...
@@ross6343 I have one circle of continuous strip till corn that has for last 4 years been winter grazed. It was making 265 now the yield is slowly getting down to 225. This field is impossible to strip till. The others are still around 260-270. The best way to seal a water tank is with cattle!
