- Glen was invited by Jay Young of Young Red Angus to speak about what it means to improve soil health at his soil health workshop this last December, in Tribune Kansas.
It seems that skyrocketing fertilizer prices and a decrease in availability have added fuel to the regenerative movement in agriculture. How can we work with the soil to unlock the nutrients that are already there? How can we make a shift and start working with the system instead of against? It all begins with the soil. Glen talks about what it actually means to improve soil health and how important the soil environment is to the biological life within.

Subscribed! Thank you for an amazing lecture. The quality of information and presentation was top notch.
Great job Glenn! Thanks for coming!
My experience taught me that the good in the soil always reigns...

Something else ...I believe Glenn thoroughly answered every question asked during presentation. Excellent presentation Glen.. Dennis in Ks
Did u find all the answers to all your questions?. These past few weeks?
Got lots of answers from Glenn BUT do not have all the che m.ical reactions balanced YET...DENNIS PS DISCUSSING BRIX CURRENTLY... LISTENING TO HIM AGAIN
Gotta hear Glenn again
Thank you,very instructive
Class of 99 here.... yes! Prince was our theme song. We did party like its 1999. You remind me of the conversations the flower growers had at the coffee shop. I never understood the molases theory i do now... Subscribed
So is it best to leave the chopped thistles to break down?
Thankyou fortheorangesheet. Someone across the planes and mountains listen now. Yes?
Great video! South East Oklahoma
What's the time when I need to do the soil compaction test? What time is the best for doing this?
Thanks, greetings from Hungary!
I have no idea but I would think it would test less compact when wet and more compact when very dry. I would think you would test it at medium soil moisture.
He said Spring.
very informative.
love this... luckily i have soil tests available to look at numbers for different soils and go ah ha..
I wanna rotate daisy fleabane field to double crop winter wheat, grain sorghum or soybean.(darn i just missed your guarantee during current lecture). Current Daisy fleabane is approx. 5
feet tall from last 3 or 4 seasons. Seems like it Respirates constantly during growing season and gets healthier each growing season in Ks..Dennis
Revolutionary video
I'm going to disagree, I think this is only part of the complicated puzzle.
For more information you're welcome to search for the soil food web videos, Calcium makes only one mineral, We actually need all of them. If you haven't you welcome the also search for nutrient cycling.
Please keys with throwing cheeky I think it's almost non-existent, As plant roots grow they release Exodus which is different types of sugars and other things the going to the soil and When the microbes released those nutrients back to the plant.
They have done the signs on this it is unknown fact.
So any calcium that is in the lower levels of the soil is actually going to be transported by those microbes back up to the plant route.
Anyway information is out there on the internet.
We must question why calcium is the most important mineral. Because it seems to me that he is basing this information on from a laboratory that test minerals in soils, Just because calcium is at the top of the test does not make it special..
That's my opinion anyway.
It dose make sense that calcium would be more concentrated the lower you go due to leaching my solution is a diverse cover crop with deep roots to break up the soil to get air deep in the soil profile so that your cash crops roots can access the calcium that has leached plus the cover crop brings up the nutrients when you terminate the cover crops it will bring some calcium to the top when it decays
I've seen soil test results measuring mineral concentrations at different soil depths. Soil type mattered, I dont remember completely but manganese (which has a denity 5 times greater than calcium) concentrations were good at all depths in clay soil but I believe it was at the highest concentration a foot down.
My point is that deeper is not necessarily better, unless it*'s a sandy soil probe to leeching. Plants suck up minerals with the roots. The plants die. Nutrients trinkle back down with rain. It might have been slightly different, but let's say it was around a foot down in clay at least.
Mr John martens, are you farming fertile creek or river bottom ground in Ks?
What extractor
How much simple sugar do you recommend per gallon of molasses?
Very good presentation...microbes breathe....
Aerobes utilize oxygen.. not anaerobes which are possibly present in soils at lower or very little oxygen concentration. There can be microaerophilic microbes also.
Impeccable.
I don’t want to lower PH..I need to raise it
Does anyone have a orange sheet to post
I'm also looking for a copy of the orange sheet.
I bet these things can be used for lawn care
Brown sugar is white sugar and molasses. The darker the more molasses.
Hey, I’m organic no till, but the guy isn’t dead wrong. But neither am I. I will say this, if I ever see data that says I have to till to fix it, then I will. I’m not an idealist.
Wow, thank you for sharing.
Why not using Cola as a fertilizer? Has a lot of sugar and phosphoric acid in it.
You mean like “Brawndo” energy drink - because it’s got what crops crave? 😉
@@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalciumI’m not sure why this type of video was on my feed. I don’t have a farm but wish I did. 😊 How would this work in lawn care? I have so many weeds and I don’t want to use chemicals to kill them. Can you recommend something? I’m just asking. Nevertheless, this seems like this video had some great information for 👩🌾. Thanks for sharing. ✌🏼❤️

It's got what plants crave! It's got electrolytes!
Well what are electrolytes?
It's... what they use to make Brawndo.
I will find you and show you this text message someday. I learned in 7 weeks + your videos what it took 3 years actually living on a farm.
Glen, I've been in the aerobic biodigestor business for a few years. I will work for you someday.
Think about it. The sugar in coca Cola is engineered to be stable. Put that on your field and you may get some phosphorous but you won't get sugar in a form the land can be expected to biodegrade. Any positives you'll see will be because of the ph reducing effect. Temporary. If the sugar does breakdown, certainly it will degrade at a lower percentage purity by mass than compared to molasses. It says on the label... "stabilizers"...
Just use food grade phosphoric acid for your healthier variation of Brawndo. I guarantee you. If you run two plots side by side, if you feed one plot phosphoric acid at 2% solution once a week, you'll notice massive differences. Add some proper calcium and all you'll need left is some liquid organic matter. You're fine. You'll be able to make conventional yields with reduced risk.
Also, you have no idea what it will do to the microbiology of the soil at the root zone level. Or the free zones. Even if we go by the logic of Big Ag.... "don't give phosphorous at the end of the season as it will feed the weeds more than the crops." Yes. But that's because your plants can reproduce only so much compared to weeds. Otherwise, crops would grow LIKE weeds !!! Besides, you want root mass. Cut the tops. Leave the seeds. Let the future weeds compete with their ancestors as much as they would with your crops. You're already disadvantaged with a much longer growing cycle and much smaller plot densities to remain within productive nature of farming. These roots will allow you to feed the microbes, whose obsession for fornication is the foundation of life in your farm.
One of God's most beautiful works. And yet still so rudimentary man behaves towards it. We need things in the micro level to do farming. When advances in quantum physics set the standard at 10^-12. Yet we write so much literature about the latter's advancements when we do not address the simpler and - quite honestly - more urgent demand for more living soil.

"Brawndos got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes."
"What are electrolytes?"
"It's... what they use to make Brawndo!"
👍👍👍👍👍👊
Glen, what is your source for birth disruption in animal husbandry?
PH has two sides Alkaline and Acid thus kindly include with the statement when you say increase or decrease pH based on Alkaline or Acid levels as they both have opposite effects on soil. Also Manufactures should make it illegal to sell calcium or any chemical to farmers who don't have their soil health reports, on which the sold chemicals would be used as without knowing soil health any chemical could cause harm and make the chemical companies look evil...
I like this guy
No one can do ,in a lifetime , what the Most High can do in 6 days.

The garden of Eden was perfect. Weeds "thistle" came after Adam ate the forbiden fruit. The fall of man.

Why was you there😊
Don't think you can use that penatrater here too many dang rocks!!!
😑 promo sm
Whats for grubs.
Birds
😩
Nice talk, but can we believe it ?
That’s what you need to find out for yourself
inputs to a healthy forest are controlled by nature. We are trying to restore the balance you find in nature. Knowledge is the journey we need to be on.
I think it's the case of 'a little knowledge can be dangerous'. The guy is selling something. He's not a soil scientist, doesn't have case studies, just a lot of good ol' boy enthusiam/huckersterism. "Step right up folks, don't be shy! See the Amazing XZY!! Only two bits!"
Check out Dr Elaine Ingham and Dr Johnsons presentations, it with all make sense will plenty of examples and science
@@mirsidorov5112 Nah, neither Ingham nor Johnson would have anything to do with this huckster. This guy is way off in left field. There's good reason no serious organization invites him to talk.
garden of eden..right...so this works if you're a foolish believer in a christian god.
didnt fictional jesus kill a plant with words? maybe we should use magic words instead of fertilizer.
Do you have any other way why your your even here besides God creating you?
@@arielkozak : parents...not magical creatures. it is telling though what kind of audience he attracts with his some truths, iffy statements, and outright demonstrable crud. an example of the last is his statement that there was a garden of eden, where fertilizer was not needed.....well if we're doing fairytales, there was magic fertilizer...and talking snakes.
Chris....Don't be fooled by a fictional Jesus... the commercial religious industry version .... instead seek the Peace and Truth of the real Jesus
