Johnson-Su Compost Extract with Jay Young of Young Red Angus

[@willienelson2078]

Both of these webinars have been great so far. Seems like we are really on the cutting edge of bringing these practices to scale. I appreciate how straight forward and non rehearsed the presenters have been.

Those resources to buy are awesome, thank you! I don't quite have the resources to keep a pile from freezing yet so having a small amount to trial is huge.

One of the most important thing about farming with no till , no fertilizer, with cover crops is that the vegetables you get are going to be more nutritional !!!!!

[@cisco5400]

Thank you!

Jay said that chasing the highest income was not the best mindset. If you search for John Moor, ITBOTU, Farming Revolution, you will hear him say something like "For every % of soil carbon increase over 4%, you double your profit"

[@paulnovak833]

That doesn't make.

[@michelbisson6645]

does putting the extract at seeding then apply a second time when corn is at kneee lenght should be interesting, while the whole farm is rebuilt with 400 pound of of johnson su compost...

I thought I had registered for this webinar. But have no link to it. Is this a replay?

[@dylankuhn-greencover]

Yes this is the recording.

[@squidpickle4361]

I can't find any reference to Don Lorrie on KZbin or Google. Is he a compost seller?

[@billydixon6919]

By 8 quarters of ground do you mean 1280 acres?

[@keithberns910]

Yes, that is correct

[@paulvandenberg5341]

Please, please can y’all quite using the word biology (the study of life) when you mean soil biome or soil biological populations which is what we are trying to enhance through the research, biology, of soil health. Don’t buy products for biome enhancement, bugs in a jug, they are mostly dead, grow your own. Stop using pesticides, grow a diversity, turn sunlight into microorganisms. I have compost piles, but mostly I try to grow stuff on site. I’m in a desert. It still works. We use tiny amounts of irrigation. Compost is just a way to process dead stock, process residues, really not necessary. Ten years, zero Pesticides, zero purchase of fertilizer or any other inputs. Highest prices for our surplus grapes. Thanks for the great series on real farming.

I'm wondering what was the weight per bushel for each of the 3 corn test strips? Strip A. B. C weight per bushel for each?

[@randalmoroski1184]

Great presentation..!

[@RGrizzzz]

How is the compost spread? Manure spreader? Something else?

[@gregcagwin1337]

Spray rig

[@RGrizzzz]

@@gregcagwin1337 Am I collecting the liquid, or soaking the leftover solids? Won't the solids clog the sprayer nozzles?

[@w8stral]

@@RGrizzzz You spray water over/through your compost, it drains through/down, collect it, and then you should strain it through a filter before spraying it usually. Jay Innoculates his seed with a pure liquid poured on when mixed for a couple days? Check his channel.

[@dylankuhn-greencover]

Also, being applied through a liquid starter system on the planter.

[@shnnnhickman]

This seems confusing. What do you mean, “Mixed for a couple days?” The point of Johnson-Su aerobic compost is to let it feed the microbes and red wiggled worms in place without touring the pile and misting it to maintain a 70% moisture levels. It stays that way for a full year to develop the complex microbial and specifically fungal communities. When it is finished a small amount is put in water and agitated to dislodge the organisms and breakup the solids into solution. Are you looking at your liquid under a microscope to see how much biology is getting dislodged in the drainage?

[@johnnmartens3067]

I’ve been curious about inoculating legumes with Johnson su would the Johnson su have the nitrogen fixing bacteria that the legumes need or would I have to buy the proper inculcate? DNA test shows that there are hundreds of nitrogen fixing bacteria in the compost one of them should inoculating legumes roots that’s my guess

[@youngredangus6041]

I add the inoculant when I make the extra and apply to the seed that way

[@panstriato2]

legumes have an endophytic nitrogen fixing bacteria. Johnson-Su may have it or may not. It will for sure have free living nitrogen fixers.
