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.

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!

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

@@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.

molasses, by it's very nature, is anti- microbial......

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

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 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.

youngredangus@gmail.com Email me and I can send you the soil sample results. I also talk about that in the nitrogen myth video

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 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.

😆🤣 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.

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 .

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.

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

I extremely doubt it. Your best bet would be to buy Verma composting or you could make your own verma composting or you could try Elaine Ingram’s method of composting Verma composting and Elaine Ingram’s method is ready much quicker
