Please don't sell yourself short, Mr. Young. Your honesty is much appreciated; your commitment and enthusiasm are infectious; your results are justifying your faith in the science and proving the concepts. Thank you for taking the trouble to make these videos and sharing your real-life experiences with us. That takes commitment and courage. I wish you every success.
Jay, I hope you can sit back and realize your brilliance. You can see things and know that things could be better AND you have what it takes to put it into action! Cheers to YOU!
Thanks Dean!
been reading learning and watching for years now and this video has brought it together for me.
thanks for sharing !!
I'm retired and not a farmer. This is the first video of yours I've watched. It really impressed me. I have noticed that farmers are just pouring on the fertilizer and pesticides to increase yields all costs. I do understand that people need to earn a living. It's nice to see that there might be other profitable ways to do business. Also, the monocultures of corn and soybeans is negatively affecting us consumers. Everything on the shelves is full of corn or bean oil. Keep up the good work and be patient.
Thank
I appreciate that
I have friends and family that are farmers. And they told me over the last forty years they’ve cut spraying down a ton. So I don’t know why people just say oh farmers are spraying way to much. It’s like compared to what? Last year or forty years ago?
And a ton of farmers do spread cow manure on fields and don’t use manufactured fertilizer. However in some areas there’s probably not animal manure to use so importing fertilizer or shipping is probably cheaper then hauling tons of cow crap long distances.
Ya mono cultures may seem bad. But it’s also about consumers. If consumers buy products that are cheaper and from corn or soybeans producers will raise more. There’s truth in the statement people vote with their dollar.
What is bad is the government putting ethanol in gas and pushing it. The government basically converted a few million acres from pasture carbon sinks into corn. And then that corn gets turned into ethanol. If fuel consumption increases then there’s more need for ethanol and corn. The government has tied a human food product to energy or oil. This is terrible from a humanitarian standpoint. Corn should be used for humans or could be exported to Africa. Even decaprios foundation website says bio fuel is as bad as fossil fuel. And then the government is like carbon credits look good. It’s like we made a problem by pushing ethanol and destroying millions of acres of pasture carbon sinks and the governments like we need fo fix that so we’ll pay rich people and push carbon credits. They’re just creating another problem. The average small time farmer ain’t going to benefit.
But you make a good point most products contain corn or bean oil. But also palm oil, and soybeans. It’s not about products containing that I think is the issue. The issue is Americans are dumb and lazy. We’ve switched from a society that cooked meals and switched that for convenience. Home cooked meals are more nutritious then processed food. Does it matter if tons of food have corn or soybean? Processed food is usually crap regardless of what’s in it. It’s not healthy to begin with. And some even go one step further saying even ground food is bad like flour. I’ve not read enough to even have an opinion, but ah producers won’t change until consumers change.
For instance, I remember reading one case study. A company went to I believe a smaller bag for cereal. It was plastic I think but the amount of material used was less. Sales were actually bad even though it cut out cardboard. Here’s the interesting thing when they switched back to the box sales improved. The consumer was DUMB because the small plastic bag and the box both contained the same amount of cereal. Here’s an example of a company cutting waste or going green and sales decreased because consumers saw the box and thought they were getting more cause it’s bigger even though it has the same amount of cereal cause companies put air and extra space in cereal boxes.
All I can say about the green agenda is good freaking luck getting all farmers to run tractors, combines etc to be electric. Haha

Thank for the feed back.
I have been waiting for this episode! Kudos to you for embracing the risk and going for it with your farm. You're paving the way for others to follow.
David thank you for the encouragement!
Thanks for your sponsors. I'm jumping shark now with one to boost production while I get my reactors built for next year. Press on!
May God bless all you farmers and ranchers for all you do
I receive that!
@@youngredangus6041 huh
I love the way you "You Tubing" farmers share the wisdom. To our future farmers or those of us on UA-cam who wish we could be a farmer
Glad to see farmers taking the soil issue seriously!! Great job 👏!!
Thanks!
My first time on this channel. Farming on both sides of my family (eastern and western Canada), though I only spent teenage years working on a farm. Then studied agriculture and food processing at Guelph, Ontario and entered the dairy industry. A decade later I became an ordained minister. Now in retirement this whole idea of regenerative agriculture is I believe the only way we will have healthy soil in to the future. The use of compost is an exciting way to lower the use of chemical fertilizer which reduces the amount of nitrous oxide released in to the atmosphere, therefore contributing less to global warming. Thanks for your important efforts and spreading the word. God bless!
Thanks Ross
We're being lied to about global warming, now called climate change. I suggest looking at the main playlist on suspicious observers. It's the sun.. we just pollute. Weather will continue to become more extreme, both hot and cold until the sun fires off at us. The science is at the utube channel and their website. They're not government funded hence not towing the gov line and faking data and presenting flawed analyses.
Thank you very much for the wonderful education.
You are walking the right path my friend! Wow! Keep scratching at it. The world needs more of your perspective! I so appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to take a risk. Thank you for putting it out there. Keep on shouting!
Thanks man!
Thanks, Jay. Looking forward to meeting you in person in Greeley at the end of this month. I too, took the deep dive to understand the "why" behind the "how." We're trying to do the same thing as you, but with perennial, high elevation pastures. We'll get there.
I would love to see/ hear the before and after results of regenerative methods on pasture and hay ground. . I see this as an entry point for others who have some pasture and/or hay but hesitate to take the plunge to use these methods on other crops. Not everyone is as courageous as Jay Young. May this go very well for you!
You are a rockstar Jay Young! Such a positive influence and an open book. You motivate the rest of us for the betterment of our own journeys in agriculture.
Barry thank you so much for the encouragement!
This is honestly amazing. I myself have been intimidated big time into trying to go full regenerative. I’ve got my compost going and ready for next spring
Awesome man! We have all been intimidated at some point in our lives. Let me know how your compost goes
It will take years, he said he started in 2016 and only in 2020 did he see the results kick in high gear. But now he's set for life.
@@buildingwithtrees2258 gotta start somewhere
@@arfarms5711 It's just to say you will be frustrated for a few years, but stick with it!
Go for it! If you have any questions, there are plenty of good people and resources to consult. I'd encourage you to talk and compare ideas with as many people as possible, and come up with your core soil and farming principles. I have a friend of mine who's very knowledgeable when it comes to soil and nutrition principles, if you want to connect with him I'll be glad to make an introduction.
This is so cool what you're doing, and it makes both biological and economic sense. Talked with a friend of mine who's a hemp grower and agronomist, and said that if you have rootworm problems, it may be due to excess phos and sulfur, and your pH may be out of wack. Give that a look and see if it's the cause. Keep up the great work producing crops and content!
I can't wait to start composting and making my own souls and really starting to grow everything
Jay Young loves 3 things - Jesus Christ, his family, and regenerative agriculture 💪🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
If these farmers will devide their land into seven parcels and then leave one parcel to rest each year they will need no fertilizer on their land and will reap Hugh crops on the remaining six parcels! I know personally one farmers who planted this way , which is the way our Bible tells farmers to plant their crops ! This farmer who always raised a larger crop than the farmers around him did so by following the biblical way to plant! He had larger crops every year and made much more money per acre because he did not have the expense of purchasing fertilizer! To GOD goes all the glory! To all farmers read the Bible , learn practice what GOD has told you and enjoy the benefits!p
Could you spray compost tea on the seeds as a substitute to treating your seeds with fungicide?
Wow I'm going to show this video to the farmer who rents my family farm.
You must be doing something right 👍🏻
You should do an interview with your dad, I’d like to get his take on this stuff.
That is a fantastic Idea!
Yes yes interview Jerry!
I really enjoy learning about regenerative ag. I get that tillage folks have had tillage preached to them for generations but when your soils can’t infiltrate the rain God provides and it runs away taking some of the poor soil with it. Just not writing big checks for input should get some interest. Gabe Brown from N.Dak says producers should strive to sign the BACK of checks not the FRONT. Delighted and honored to have found your channel. Small town kid stuck in Omaha Nebraska
Thanks Don
I appreciate the encouragement!
Awesome information. I am looking at applying a alfalfa mixed compost and a cotton mixed compost to my ground to offset some of the extremely expensive chemical fertilizer we have used. If you haven’t watched Kiss the Ground on UA-cam, it is a must. Keep up the good work and God Bless.
Great video. Congrats on the success. I appreciate your openness and honesty in your second regret - I feel the same sort of regret. You are courageous. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Thank you for this humble sharing of your story that is real and straight from the heart. Farmers and ranchers and land stewards everywhere need to know that no matter how much they may be intimidated by this "new" approach to land management, that they are not alone and can learn right along with the rest of us.
Thank you for your encouragement!
Super awesome production. Much love and blessings.
Jadam and Korean natural farming techniques are awesome and scalable to large farms!
The Johnson su bioreactor is badass, love the easy design and results in the home garden
I was so excited I had to watch your video again. The chemical salesman have been lying to us since the Civil War. But for some reason we continue to believe them. I love your honesty. It’s the college educated farmers that cannot see God‘s creation. I’ve had a few of my neighbors on my front porch screaming in my face how stupid I am. Just think about the forest floor. No pesticides no fertilizers no crop rotation just gods creation. God bless and may we all start growing some thing worth eating❤
No, you've got it backwards. Fertilizer salespeople were responding to farmers ruining their 'god-given' land thru ignorance and stupidity. Farmers kept doing the same thing over and over and expecting different outcomes (the definition of insanity). Rather than eliminate tilling, farmers doubled down and bought fertilizer, further degrading their soil. It's science and education, not god and ignorance.
I don't understand why anyone would get upset because you're farming a different way? The dirty little secret in agriculture is that the "plow and spray" method of farming doesn't make much (if any) profit. But guys still do the same thing year after year, because that's what Big Ag has told them.
@@BAOchsner I agree they’re all brainwashed. My farm just got hit again this year by a GMO corn farmer. They’ve taken his chemicals off the window of my house and the food in the past with testing. But he continues to try and destroy my farm. I hope the farmer start opening their eyes before there’s nothing left of our country. The trees are dying very quickly with a new chemicals. I guess that’s why it’s banned in 30 countries.
Organic companies are the biggest frauds in the world
I've been planting comfrey for years and use it as a liquid fertilizer for all my plants as well as a top mulch. Even in Alaska it grows like crazy. I've had people buy it from I think most of the states now. I sell comfrey root and seed almost daily.
Awesome
How do you use it as a liquid fertilizer? Native Americans referred to it as knit bone for its healing properties.
@@YourMom-ro1ig Comfrey is not native to the Americas. It originally came from Asia Minor spreading to Siberia and then the rest of the world. It was the Romans who referred to it as knit bone. To make a liquid fertilize you simply soak it in water until it rots.
Wish i could remember even 5% of your info here. I heard of johnson su methodology too, have used compost tea a bit . Have not hooked up to my 16'roller for several years. Seems impossible to get ducks in a row and
moisture and so and/ so. I hoping to roll something besides daisy fleabane next
season. Actually i gave up on crimping since fleabane took over....Dennis
Ya know if you can get your crops analyzed and some other grain from another source analyzed and be able to show a higher nutrient density, there might be a specialty market for your that would pay you a premium.
Yeah I’m waiting to hear the results
Do test strips with Heirloom open pollinated corn varieties as well as several different hybrids you've used and liked. I used Reids Yellow Dent and Goliath White Dent this year while adding Blue Hopi next year and maybe one other. I know a hog farmer who switched to feeding heirloom corn saw litter size jump up 20% as well as general health improvement. I also heard that the deer tend to avoid recent GMOs because it tastes bad, perhaps cows may like heirloom better too.
Where are you getting your seed from?
@@SkyDavis100
There are a couple of guys that you can find online that sale Jimmy red corn.
@@youngredangus6041 I was more interested in Blue Hopi. I have not been able to find anyone selling that in bulk so I have so far had to buy little packets of several different blue hopi varieties and then build up the seed from there.
awesome video!
Thanks
Im more concerined about you're improvements to the taste and nutrients in the food than the yeld , I hope you see the many benifets of going organic with no chemical fertilizer we dont want to make the worms mad cuz they will packup and leave . Great Job !
Thanks!
@@youngredangus6041 You da man ! I through at first you were brewing tea but you dont give the fungi enough time to mutiply I guess yoy are stripping the fungi off the compost I would like to know if you have compaired compost tea were you feed the fungi and let it mutiply for like 8 hours or more to the method youre using ? Dr Elaine ingham has some great videos in this field on youtube .that you dont want to miss if you havent seen them alredy .
Great video, always enjoy seeing the results. Looking forward to seeing how 2023 turns out
Thanks Troy!
I was a commercial composted, back in the late 80s.
A composted down in Midland Tx. Spread 1/2 a circle of wheat with compost!
The other half with lab recommended fertilizers!
They put calves on the whole circle!
The calves grazed the composted wheat into the ground, and barely touched the other half!
When they went to the feedlot, those calves, didn’t get sick, grew faster, and more profitable!
Compost has been used for soil erosion control!
Food raised with compost tastes far better!
Florida State university way back in the 80s proved that onions raised with compost, used 75% less water!
You get me talking about the benefits of compost, and I don’t know when to stop!
I haven’t even started!
I haven’t even mentioned using beneficial insects!
After using lacewings in my field corn, I no longer called the crop duster for ear worms, and spider mites!
I used the windrow, aireated method, of composting!
You can’t beat Gods plan!
That’s awesome Les!
Hey Jay - a 30-min vid called "Undercover Farming". It's here on YT, so great. Your next coffeebreak

Very good
Thanks
We will cut this years in about 6 weeks or less
Please note this is the first video of yours that I have watched. I am a Canadian farm girl with some interest in soil science and science, while I haven’t heard of th “Johnson” compost I have heard of compost
Cool! I hope you enjoyed it. Here is David Johnson talking about the composter.

Check out the videos this winter and you will slide over the finish to 214 bushel corn and no damage!
Australian farmers, over the last 20 years have paid attention to the soil health and biota of their land. Without added fertilizers, and without "tilling the soil", they have improved their lot. Pay attention.
have you tried mixing black larve frass with your seed covering as a treatement.
It's great to see good news. We don't need the WEF micromanaging our farm economy. New understandings of soil science and management can usher in a new day.
Thanks so much for introducing to jhonson su method.
Anotherway to get good bacteria into your soil, is by using soils from nearby forests. The forest soil can be added to a big tank, along with some sugar containing liquid like molasses to multiply the bacteria. Then dilute this mixture and spray in your field.
Another way is to grow some acerage of gilicirdia trees. These tree leaves can be used for compost, the tree are leguminous and grow quickly back.
Thanks for the feedback!
molasses, by it's very nature, is anti- microbial......
Great information.
Thanks
@Young Red Angus I did send that video to my cousin who wants to build soil health without the chemicals from the coop. He did use the adjuvant for water retention and went from 150 bushel corn in the past to 220 this year. It was dry by him in July and his corn stayed green
Question: If all phosphorus is residual from previous applications, how is it replenished? What is the source of new phosphorus when the soil is depleted?
plants only need tiny amounts of it, most of which is recycled to be used again. The subsoil is brimming with potassium and phosphorous, you just need the biological activity and deep root systems so that plants can use it. If we farm long enough to deplete the subsoil, and the underlying rock... we're doing pretty good lol (and obviously haven't killed ourselves off with climate change or NCBR warfare in the 100's of thousands of years it took to do that lol).
Who fertilized the world before DuPont and mining companies? Plants have been around a lot longer than us, I don't think they need our help to go through their lifecycles.
Great video. Better in a higher resolution
You should look into complementary plants to go with corn. Not to get a bonus plant for yield, but to aid corn in fighting those problematic pests. On a different note, planting beans and clover would perhaps boost the yield of corn, since they will increase nitrogen in the system. Gabe Brown is worth looking into, he talks a lot about large scale crop production.
One more note... Don't regret not killing soil life with chemicals.
I have a couple of videos on inter-seeding cover crops into corn
And if possible if you could do a episode showing your soil samples year to year just so you know i raise cow calf pairs and run a feedlot i have fields where i do not apply any commercial fertilizer but i apply 4 to 6 ton to the acre of bedding pack manure
We did a complete soil digestion test this year on this field
I’ll keep records on it.
Great video, just found your channel keep up the good work. One other item to consider is mineralization. Dan Kittredge has a great 9 part series on the Living Web Farms UA-cam channel. He recommends a Kinsey-Albrecht soil analysis that reports micro and trace nutrients. Microbes can’t make minerals available to the plant if they are not in the soil. Dan walks through interpreting the test in part 2 video. It’s long series parts 1 & 2 will get you the mineralization info but lots of other great stuff and worth the time.
Awesome do you have a link to the video?

Have a question. What were your soil samples to start with. We have extremely low potassium levels. Where would k need to be in relitive to what your doing to make these juices to work best?
youngredangus@gmail.com
Email me and I can send you the soil sample results.
I also talk about that in the nitrogen myth video
I like your videos and what you're trying to accomplish with your soil, Jay. But I'm having trouble seeing how you wouldn't be mining your ground if you're not applying what the crop is removing. 207 bu corn is pulling out 138lbs. of N in the grain, so are you concerned about diminishing yields over time? I gather the compost tea is making some tied up N available, I wonder about the long term viability of the program though. Looking forward to trying it on our farm. We're building bio reactors this year after watching your videos!
That’s awesome Ryan. Time will tell. To start we already have 3000-3500lbs of organic nitrogen. So between that and building a system of healthy plants that can harvest atmospheric nitrogen I think we will be able to accomplish a lot.
I’ll keep people posted on how are levels of N do over time
Where are you located Ryan?
Absolutely love what you're doing here. But most farmers farm solely for the $$$ they don't care about the nutrition of their product or soil health.
True but it doesn’t change my vision and focus to getting the message out.
@@youngredangus6041 Perfect! I'm currently trying to grow a large junkyard business, then i'm getting deep into farming ! I just found your channel today, look forward to seeing you keep growing and making USA healthier
but if your yields are 85-90% of perfect, and your inputs are 60-75% of peak... you have increased profitability (your take-home is what matters, if you're going to stay farming for very long). The "biggering and biggering" (thanks for that one, Dr. Suess) mentality only works to a point, then it's just "biggering" inefficiency and potential losses. So even from a $$$ standpoint, it doesn't make sense to use the chemicals, especially not at the rates we've been told we need to use them at.
I love the info Thanks a bunch. I'm curious tho are those strips with no N (or limited N) and no Phos in the same exact strips for more than 1 year? Or are you using leftover synthetics from the last year or years?
No last year all 3 of these circles had cover crops and were grazed
So how are you applying the compost? Are you justspreading it or useing it to make a tea and irrigatting your fields with it?
In furrow 8 gallons per acer
Hasn’t made it to IL yet, till, spray, fertilize, tile state.
Isn't the necessary sequence of events that plants send out exudates to attract bacteria and fungi, who then attract protazoa and nematodes who then consume fungi/bacteria and excrete plant-available nutrients? That having protazoa and beneficial nematodes are the ultimate goal for plant health to reduce/eliminate chemical inputs and that bacteria and fungi are simply the intermediate steps required for healthy soil?
Hi. I am a farmer and I live in a one of those [bad]hole countries as pres Trump called them (and he wasn't completely wrong). So anyway, I have spent 2022 learning about things like lactic acid bacteria and how to find mycorhizzal fungi from nature and add them to compost. Previously I have been growing mushrooms so I know about composting and empowering the desired microbes by pasteurization etc., and why thats needed. So this year I have begun shifting to the no-till fungal soil thing. Pushed by economical crisis and because of people reaching new heights in greed, cutting profit margins for farmers unacceptably. The purpose of my post is to request material and/or guidance about finding the right kinds of innoculations for a compost pile. Should I mix both lactic acid bacteria and natural soils with white mycelia in them into a pile? Or how? My fields are ready to accept these cultures I believe because after harvesting corn and then rice I used machinery to chop all dried residue of the crops back into the soil. Thank you and God bless you.
Hi!
I am a farmer from Estonia, we grow wheat, rapeseed, broad beans and peas on 900ha( ~2250acres).
Thanks to your videos I came to this kind of technology, thank you very much for that.
I did 2 bioreactors as yours, and used wheat straw 50% and leaves 50% for one and for the other wheat straw 30%, horse manure-wheat straw combo 30% and 40% leaves.
I wanted to ask have you used compost tea for inoculating your wheat seed. How were your results there?

Great video Tnx! Maybe you heard of using Seasalt as fertilizer? Another suggestion is treat your seeds with ‘hydrogenwater’, its bubbling hydrogen through water and spray it once a day on your seeds. Good luck with your great work! Hns
Can you apply the Johnson Su extract foliar?
Yes
Great video! I’ve also been pondering the impact of seed treatment on my corn seed. Was the non-treated seed you used still gmo just untreated or non-gmo? I thought I’d try out some untreated gmo corn to see if there is an impact. You might consider a video discussing your crop rotation on these circles. Great progress!
Thanks man
That’s a great idea

Hi I'm a farmer in North West Saskatchewan how do you figure how much compost an acre you need? Would love to try on a quarter of canola against our 80-15-0-5 blend we have been using
If you are just treating seed you don’t need a lot
We do 16oz for 50lbs of Milo
35lbs of compost makes 70 gallons of extract for wheat and we treat 500 bushels

Then apply infurrow
What/equipment u using toapply compost/ and/or tea. How long and fermenting temp. Dennis
I turned on CC and looked it up on google. Then google suggests exudates. So root exudates are excretions from the root system which triggers soil ecosystem growth?
Exactly John. Root Exudates are carbon rich sugars for the microbes. Thus, the more roots and the more kinds of roots you have, the higher organic matter and the healthier your soil will be. I talked to Dale Stickler at green cover and he believes that root exudates is the #1 factor in building healthy soil.
@@awesomeness5464
I can’t say it better than that
im interested in what you are doing could you provide soil samples data from fields in your sample, so i may better understand your process, please upvote if others would like to know as well
I’ll make a video about it in the next few weeks
Hmm, organic matter really matters with regenerative farming because you need that sponge to catch and hold the treatment.
Nice! As far as the spider mites have you tried using JADAM natural pesticide (JNP)?
Pretty much you make JADAM Herbal Solution (JHS) which is.
Take a plant like pokeweed (what I use) and boil it in water with the lid on for 5 hours (4 hours for a pressure cooker). Take that and mix it with JADAM wetting agent (JWA), which is just a liquid soap, dilute with water. Dilution depends on how bad it is 5-15L of JWA, 10-15L of JHS per 500L of water.
Spray before sunup or right at sunset making sure to coat the top and bottom of the plants.
Also DO NOT LIST IT AS A PESTICIDE!!! If anyone asks it is an organic fertilizer, which it also is.
I’ll look that up
Thanks for the information
You say take a plant like pokeweed. Are there other options? Why pokeweed? Does it work on all pests?
@@YourMom-ro1ig gingko, bracken and sunchoke are the best because insects dont build up a tolerance from those. Other plants like pokeweed, tobacco, hot peppers, Jerusalem artichoke, garlic, peppermint. Need to be cycled so bugs dont build up a tolerance. Your looking for plants that produce lots of chemicals, generally they're considered poisonous plants.
That mix works on a big range of soft bodied pests. There are more formulas that involve making liquid sulfur, minerals, and NAoh but for all those recipes I would buy the JADAM natural pesticides, or JADAM organic farming book.
For hard bodied insects I recommend LIPMO but at that point I would highly recommend meeting with someone to learn how to make. Liquid Indigenous Predatory MicroOrganisms, LIPMO, is the process of harvesting chitin loving fungi, brewing it out and turning it into a liquid form to spray.
@@youngredangus6041 also look up STYLET OIL.........
Farmer from Manitoba Canada. Just finished watching all of your videos on Johnson Su composting.
I have some thoughts on the matter.
I think the fact you are on irrigation is a big factor in why this is working so well for you. If you think about it, it's the same concept of how you have to water your bioreactors everyday. These bacteria and fungi need water to survive. I would be interested if you know of any farmers having this kind of success with compost extract in dryland farming.
I understand you aren't a research farm, but usually in a trial you want a baseline check strip. I think you should do a strip of no N or P and no compost extract to see if A) Irrigation is such a big factor it is the main reason for your big yields, and B) To see if you are getting some residual action from your compost extract applied in previous years.
Interesting to hear you are getting such low yields with no seed treatment. Do you specifically think this is from insect pests or do you think soil diseases also play a factor?
Also, I'm wondering about your crop rotation. Are these irrigated plots corn every year? This could have something to do with your insect problems.
Great questions
Our biggest success on dryland corn was 86 bushels an acre with 40 pounds of nitrogen and no phos with 8 gallons of Compost Extract Inn Furrow
We have enough water to water to circles of corn but there are 4 Irrigated Circle tied in together.
One year two of them get corn and the other two get Cover Crops and we raise cattle on them the following year we will switch. We do something similar with a dryland next to those IrrigatedCircles
I think the cutworm has something to do with the poor stand on the non-treate corn seed.
If you subscribe to the channel I’m going to try to have some farmers do a UA-cam live with me one of them in particular hasn’t had as good of luck as I have had and we’re going to talk about soil differences and possible reasons for why it’s not working as well but he’s definitely a believer
The use of compost is an exciting way to lower the use of chemical fertilizer which reduces the amount of nitrous oxide released in to the atmosphere, therefore contributing less to global warming. Thanks for your important efforts😁
Totally random. Is the intro music by Eric Goodell from Shenandoah Iowa, now in Omaha?
#1, thanks for the Phosporus info! Been serarching for that myself. Maybe I am missing something; how is 50lbs N not using Fertilizer? Is that applied at planting/seed or side dressed? Sorry will look at other videos you made; you probably already said. =-)
50 if N is fertilizer. We raised 207 bushel an acre in the 5 acre test strip that had no N and No phosphorous
It was applied in the form of urea pre-planting.

Do you farm?
Where would you get the compost? Do you have to home make that yourself? If you buy it what’s the per acre cost? How realistic is it to apply that to 2000 acres? How well would that compost work in combination with Pivot Bio’s Proven 40 on seed application?
I have a ton of videos that cover these questions
1. I make johnson Su and I buy Bio 5 and I’m going to buy some verma compost from Dan Rasure in Kansas.
2 cost per acer is like $2 per acer
I applied it to 1500 acres in furrow and another 3500 acres by treating all my seeds.
Pivot Bio Proven has a handful of species of bacteria
Our compost has over 600.
Go to the compost play list on my channel and divide in to those videos
What is contact no. For dan. ...razure? I farm 100 miles or so east of you.dennis
How do you apply the compost in the field?

I cover it in this video
Watch this and let me know if you have questions
There are fungicides that beneficial fungi are not affected, this information was provided by a microbiologist I was working around, maybe Christine Jones will have the same info.
Thanks Steve
207 bushel corn sounds great but what were your yields like before?
Hey sorry I missed this comment
Did you get to watch least years video?

Did you get to watch last year’s video?
Great video, have you considered breeding your own corn ? Are you purchasing proprietary gmo seed?
I’m going to plant some Jimmy Red In 2023 to see how it goes
Yes most of our seed is GMO from major companies
Great question by the way. I really appreciate the feedback and interactions.
@@youngredangus6041 these questions are a bit selfish in one way as I'm seeking information but I know comments and back and forth helps channel grow with feeding the demanding beast that is the youtube algorithm. So just doing my part 😆 but yes I genuinely want to know stuff and am planning on breeding my own corn in backyard with genetics from hopi Indian corn as they have huge root system for droughty conditions which I definitely got in NC this last season. I don't do any gmo stuff though. But yeah I have alot of southern genetics and a few Mexican corn genetics to go with Hopi corn.
sounds to good to be true.
Are you close enough to visit? Or would you like some more information on Dr David Johnsons research?

Where's the financial display?
Jay are you putting out 8 gallons at one time? 1 lb of compost per gallon? Maybe I heard wrong....
1 lbs of compost makes 4 gallons of extract
8 gallons an acre in furrow on corn.
It’s possible I said it wrong I have to go back and look at what I said
@@youngredangus6041 That makes more sense, we do 1 lb of compost to 1 gal so that seemed like a lot of compost to me....
@@youngredangus6041 None thru the pivots?
@@81miguelnichols
We’re going to get set up to do that for the 2023 growing season
In the beginning of the video you said you applied 100# nitrogen to all 3 circles, later you said you didn't apply any nitrogen, which is it???
Where you able to watch the full video?
The entire field of all 3 fields we applied 100lbs of N
We did 2 five acre test strips on all 3 circles
Circle A had a test strip that had 50lbs of N and a test strip that had No N
The test strip with No N yielded 207 bushels an acre
What do you think about Pivot Bio Proven 40?
they have less than 10 microbes in their product. ours routinely has more than 600
Good video BTW
Thanks
Did you do a check with zero n and zero treatments? If treatment has no response, no need to look any further. Just means you had high residual or release and nothing you do will change anything. Years of over applying will do that
Can you generate these fungi in composted manure with bedding which is applied in the spring?
Where is all the missing soil from American farms? The Mississippi Delta, for one
Yeah bro nobody understands that there are more than enough nutrients in the soils already for many many years if utilized correctly. I absolutely hate how we farm today and also monoculture farming, but at least you are implementing better ways of growing that are better for the ecosystems. My main problem since obviously I'm a fish person lol, is the effect it's had on our waterways. When my dad was my age you could eat fish from the river and fishing in the river was popular and there were plenty of fish and now you would be lucky to even get a single bite and nobody would dare eat them. Heck, we used to be able to drink the water from our waterways as we should be able to.
plants still need phosphorus . But you are now managing it in a different way . By "eliminate" did you mean not applying phos directly to the fields in dry form? How about if we take commercially available NPK and compost that with straw first and then after several months apply that whole works to the filed in semi dry form? That is what I am experimenting with but I have no results yet.
Yes I won hundred percent agree a plant still needs phosphorus that’s really not debatable. No longer apply commercial Phosphorous because It hinders root exudate development.
That sounds amazing I hope it works out. Are you on the process of making it or you have made it and haven’t applied it yet.
@@youngredangus6041 I haven't made any yet. Just a theory I had. Your idea of not apply phosphorus also should apply to potassium and nitrogen. All three nutrients are industrially used with no understanding of how they affect the soil biology. That includes solid forms like ammonium nitrate and urea as well as gaseous forms like anhydrous ammonia. The reason this application technique is so popular is that its easy and cheap.
one way that I got my new idea was the ammoniation of straw for beef cattle. That uses anhydrous ammonia in straw to increase protein but at the same time it also increases nitrogen (protein = nitrogen). And there lies the start of a new way to take industrial fertilizer and make it friendly to the soil biology.
Just compost first and then spread on fields. Ill keep you posted when it gets underway next summer
A question from NZ are you talking Nitrogen mass as the element or the oxide as seems to be the custom in the US. Like wise for P and K
To be honest I don’t know
I asked someone with Regen Ag Labs and they answered
For Tnd the N measured is elemental N, not oxide (nitrate) only.
@@youngredangus6041 Thanks for that the data is now more usable knowing it is elemental mass not oxide mass
another piece of data to support what you guys are finding in relation to phosphorus is that in ex forest sites (Pinus radiata ) we have elevated P levels for about 5 years after felling . We sow legumes (Lotus usually) to nitrogen back into the system for the benefit of the next crop and sometimes forest grazing
@@youngredangus6041 Pines have mycorrhizal fungi that helps them extract nutrients from soils

Have you considered spraying sugar water on your land in a test strip?
no sir
@@youngredangus6041 reason I ask about sugar water is it is a biology accelerant as it is food for biology. I heard about it on regenerative agriculture podcast with John Kempf when he interviewed a guy on how pests identify plants to eat.
@@David-kd5mf Sugar, molasses, milk, fulvic acid, humic acid. All carbon sources that are beneficial. Just a question of what you are trying to achieve and the cost effectiveness.
@@Forester-qs5mf simple sugars for bacteria, complex sugars for fungi. Simple is table sugar, molasses etc are quick. Humic acids, woody materials are complex and slow, and representative of the organisms growth type
are your horse organic feed and what not?
No they are not
They are fed hey from the same circles
Their are many benefits to “conventional” farming mixed with regenerative methods to lower inputs.
We’re on the organic no till side. Their is a market here, but not for everyone to do it. Although I will hotly contest any claim that it can’t feed the world.
😆🤣 maybe yall should move to Sri Lanka
@@sunstruckfarms4489 That’s an example of how you can’t legislate , one must educate. The process of feeding the world organically would be a generational undertaking.
You 1st have to unprogram people from the propaganda they been saturated with for decades. Meat is our friend, and should be the majority of our diet. 2nd, organic is almost worthless without the regenerative. Regenerative non organic is actually better.
I farm in a top producing state, so the data is very notable. Excluding a 5 year transition period, my acreage is dead in the middle in bushels produced when the numbers are run on a 10 year average. The reason for this is the elimination of the peaks and valleys. It can rain too much, or too little, and I’ll lose less than 5%. I just don’t get the pest and disease issues. Their are some new diseases that have come north that scare me, because I’m not sure the balancing forces to them exist here. But I’ll let a few crops go if I have to, until whatever micro organisms that are the enemy of said pestilence can bring balance.
Nature fed a lot more tonnage of eaters than what’s currently on this planter.without sprays, and it did just fine. We can learn from that and mimic the process for our advantage.
@@LtColDaddy71 of course it is , theres always an excuse for something not working , people pushing communism are the same
@@sunstruckfarms4489 it’s the consumers choice, not ours. But I do not approve of all the green washing. The system is not putting out quality organic product. It checks all the boxes to get certified, but it’s not leaving the land land as good or better, and conventional farming does the way it’s being performed nowadays. The farmers who were hurting the environment all went broke in the 70s and 80s. We’ve gotten much better at this.
@@LtColDaddy71 true , true , and true some more , however , there is no free lunch although that's exactly what many of these " low input " , " minimum input " , and even some organic farmers seem to think . I'm all for trying new things and trying to improve things but some of these folks pushing their " fix-it-all " or " silver bullet " are delusional
Do you think it is even possible to become a farmer from scratch? Having to buy land, equipment, infrascruture and inputs seems like trying to finance a mission to the moon. Are there videos or resources for how to get in the game you can recommend?
There is a youtuber named grant hilbert. He's currently doing that. He started making money by creating farming simulator videos on youtube and used the money from that to start a real farm.

@@youngredangus6041 ok well I guess there hope :)
Are you using herbicide and pesticides?
Yes. So we used pesticides to kill the spider mites. I’m hope that using cover crops inter seeded into the cash crops will help keep the spider mites away.
It i worth making the point that this video is showing you how to do this for FREE! It is not a sales video. Because Young Angus does come across as a bit pushy like a sales person. But really he is just enthusiastic because he has found a way of saving money in his farming operation and wants to share that with you. You can trial his ideas almost for free.. just need a few totes!
Those yields are terrible. 20ton per acre feedlot manure get p to 50ppm and k to 300ppm. 36,000 pop under pivot. 2 shots fungicide and you'll be 300bu/acre all day long.
Well did we forget to mention the "forefathers" of the movement like Gabe Brown and others who have been advocating this practice for years.
I haven’t forgot the people who have gone before me.
