    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    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!

  • @rosmeeker1964

    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.

    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?

    Peach pits contain cyanogenic glycosides, compounds that are metabolized into cyanide by the body. However the pits have to be chewed up for the cyanide to be released. Pigs are apt to swallow the entire peach. From time to time, though, there can be a fatality.
