Simply wonderful! Animals that are provided an enjoyable life. Old time farm boys used to enlist in the services to serve their country, now the veterans are coming back to serve the land. We need to support our farmers not the big agriculture firms. They are the humane wave of the future with no chemicals that will sustain us and our earth. We thank you!
My husband and I are both veterans. We retired and moved back home to start farming. We completely agree with what he said about military folks and would totally support a book tailored to veterans setting up a farm!
One of your best in a long time, Justin. Thank you. And Jordan, I teach at Ohio State and do regenerative farming, and work with vets in the Ohio area. I encourage you to keep fighting and leading one day at a time by God's grace. May the Lord bless and keep you all!
Thank you for your service! I have noticed that most of the people who get into this lifestyle more often than not have a humble confidence when they are teaching that is extremely appreciated.
Justin, thanks so much for profiling a fellow veteran. Jordan has a remarkable operation up there and I'm a long-time fan. I hope you go back and do some more vids on his farrowing operation (he built special huts for them), his store operation, and a whole series on the business side of the operation, which he and his wife Laura have nailed down. There's a ton of material for your channel at his farm. GREAT VLOG!!!
Absolutely loved that, I love pigs, I once watched 15 piglets being born on a farm was so lovely. The place you stayed at was really nice looked so cosy. Good work Justin from Sharon in the 🇬🇧 UK.
As an add-on to my prior post. If you can make the trip, I would suggest you also head up to Greg Gunthorp's farm in Indiana. Greg is a nationally-known pastured pig and poultry grower and has 1 of only 2 (I believe) farms that have both a USDA-approved pork and poultry processing facility on it. One of his customers is Michelin-starred Chef Rick Bayless up in Chicago. Greg has been a very vocal proponent of the small farmer and has been before Congress letting them know how to improve (decrease) regulations and level the playing field for the small farmer vs the giants. Both Jordan Green and Greg Gunthorp would be worthy of multiple videos and would be a great segway for those of us who have mirrored your own operation and are looking to going to the next level. Again, REALLY GOOD vid - thank you!
Holy pig testicles at 17:18! Beautiful farm and wonderful story! Thank you Jordan for your service and for what you are doing for future generations of farmers!!
I was at Polyface yesterday morning (Sat, 24th) as well! I can't believe our paths could've crossed, but probably better for your sake, since I would've overwhelmed you with questions. Folks, go visit Polyface! You will be inspired!
Thanks for this one! Extra long and lots of fantastic information. It's great you let him talk about his operation and your interview style worked really well!
I like overseeding and have wondered why you don't do it Justin. Coming into winter we would overseed with oats (the pigs would eat quite a lot but it is good food) and rye seed. The oats could be grazed lightly when about 18 inches high by the cows. They would then 'tiller out' making the next growth spurt thicker. Good food for winter. At this time of year (your August, our February) we would also overseed with turnips. And that was good winter pickings in the field for pigs or cows. in spring we would over seed with ryegrass and clover and make new pasture.
I was take caring of pigs last year it was a 10 piggies I had but it's hard to get bananas and papaya because I don't have time to take get those fruits so I stop it. But now I wondering to get it again because I have some idea from your vedio thanks.
That's so sweet that you are all so happy to see one another! I have a question. I think I would have a hard time incorporating pigs, even though I could probably eat bacon for the USA if it were an Olympic sport. When we were kids we visited my uncle's farm back in Kansas. He took us on a tour and introduced us to the calves that were being bottle fed. The next morning when we got up we went through the pen of sows and into the barn to make a call on the calves, without telling anyone. Boy were we in trouble when they found us (me six my sister nine). Seems the family across the valley had lost a child who'd crawled into the hog pen and been eaten by the sows. I know I'm a big old adult now, but, was that just the breed? You guys didn't seem to have much trouble with the pigs you were moving....or do you have to be wary of them?

Man I love the way he utilizes all the waste from other people for food for his hogs ! Bravo!!!!!

I'm always glad to see dad and son time together! It is so important to have this one on one time with your dad!!! 😊

What a wonderful memory for your son...and you......wish I could visit a farm like that.....I love pigs. Loved piggies give you tender yummies.
Yeah. So glad to see y'all finally connecting with Jorden and Laura😁 they have been our inspiration for years!
Great Video! Great Job Jordan., I think you hit it on the head about us Vets. It was the words going around in my head.

Thank goodness the produce is being saved from the landfills. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Fun to see how other people raise animals.
This guy needs to write a book yesterday!
What a great operation. So good to see this demonstration of full life cycle hog production at scale. Thanks!
Loved it! What an awesome way to support our Vets!
Great video Justin! He has found his niche, and boy, is he taking it by the tail. Thanks for sharing your trip.
@JustinRhodes the blue glowing thing is called a rainmate. I have one and it works wonders to pull dust and debris from thw air in your home
Thats what your familes good at justin. Sharing clear informative documentarys of others lifes work and knowledge. Great job!
Apple and peanut fed piggies. Talk about seriously delicious meat in the end.
This was a very interesting trip at J & L Green Farm, definitely subbing to him ✊🏾 Thanks for sharing the experience Justin.

I love when you guys post long videos
@Farmbuilder looks pretty well built. A rare site for a farmer lol

Love from New Zealand ❤❤ wait for your vlogs everyday! ❤😊
Very interesting video. From Military Veteran to Pig Farmer.
I can picture wheels on that fencing holder.....if a farmer doesn’t have a forklift....the fencing holder is a great idea
That was very interesting, crazy question, I always heard big pigs like that would eat ppl,or did my grandpa just say that so I wouldn’t go in the pen
Justin exceptional video, thank you for sharing your adventure with us!
Great information! Thank you sir for your service!
great vid glad to see you spending time with your boy
Great video! And wow, that leap! over the hot Turkey wire!

Those are the real taste pork chops, when they raised free range.
The pig farmer you visited looks and sounds exactly like the the actor Glen Powell from the Guernsey Literary Potatoe Peel Pie movie on Netflix!
That blue thing with the water in it is an air cleaner. You can drop essential oils in it too.
I I've them pigs running at 25:00 in the back 😁 bringing out the pigness of the pig is bringing out the dog in them.
Nicely done! Very informative and beautiful systems.
