Biologically Enhanced Agricultural Management with Dr. David Johnson & Hui-Chun Su
David’s research in soil microbial community structure and function has opened a window for viewing the interdependence between plants and soil microbes. Rebuilding a soil’s microbial community population, structure, diversity, and biological functionality will also provide a robust and practical mechanism to begin reducing atmospheric CO2 within a regenerative agricultural system.
In this video David and his wife, Hui-Chun Su Johnson, will also talk about the construction, filling, and management of the Johnson-Su static pile composting bioreactor.
Regenerating the Diversity of Life in Soils
Molecular biologist David C. Johnson and his wife, Hui-Chun Su Johnson, will cover the construction, filling, and management of the Johnson-Su static pile composting bioreactor. They will discuss:
• How this composting process creates a fungal-dominant, biologically diverse compost inoculant that can be used to jump start soil biology and increase crop production.
• The composting do’s and don’ts for producing a biologically diverse compost end product
• Best practices and preferred methodologies for applying the compost in scaled farming operations.
How Regenerative Agriculture is Changing Farming
The Young family have been farming in Greeley County, Kansas, since 1906. They have a long history with cattle and raising stockers since the 1940s. Jay Young has a passion for cattle, and as a kid, Jay always wanted to have a cow/calf operation, but with limited grass in Greeley County made this dream seem impossible. However, a dream was born in 2016 with the emergence of cover crops in the farming industry, and with a lot of research, Jay came up with a plan to raise cattle year-round on cover crops. The Youngs bought their first pairs from Harms Plainview Ranch and were given the opportunity to be a cooperator with Kravig Red Angus in 2017. In March 2020, Young Red Angus had their first annual production sale.
Walking Away From This Myth Will Save Farmers Big Money!
This video details how to cut back from Nitrogen and save money! In the video he mentions 4 scientists that have really helped him get where he is: Dr. Christine Jones, Dr. James White, Dr. David Johnson and Dr. Toby Kiers.
