[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah

ah, my name is jeremy justice and i'm a farmer in iowa, right in the middle of my home town is noon. we raised corn and soybeans here. so some issues that are different this year, the in years past is that i'm with all the things going on the world. the day are input costs have almost doubled nitrogen, it's oh, drink double and triple living on the form of nitrogen. so it's been interesting. next years along that's going to be difficult. we're running a whole inventory supply chain issues as well. i've worked all because a cold low over reaction to the cold with that which caused

a lot of supply chain problem. so the national or their child, or see my dog, i think it's green, bought air. if everything would, everything would stabilize, it will help it. so i wanna say it very risky, very risky right now. for example, you could have to far was living one right across the road from each other. and each operate just a little bit different. one, i'm lucky enough to show his price bar enough ahead and a good price. and the other one doesn't. one can go broke near the window. it's, it's this risk it's gonna be, it's gonna be really hard for everybody to keep going from will make it solemn, won't.

ah, sir, your hair changes. yeah. swedish as well. yeah, absolutely. it came from sweden and down in sweden. bluebird, last name was peter sooner than now when they come here that they changed it to patterson. just because i think it was too many peterson's and, you know, the 1st patterson moved here like an 865 and then poppy didn't stake his claim until, you know, in the end of 18 seventy's on. and then i think he jumped on his horse and rode a boon to stake his claim. anyway, so those can, i can interstate. so goes back a long way. so yeah, to say to you, hundreds, i guess late 18 hundreds. we homesteaded some ground. well, where i live, that was so i 18898218. 87, something like that. up there now,

my dad farms and mull goals and just been around forever to hard to get away from it. but a dirty tractor for a backdrop. ok, so in the state of iowa, they give awards to farms that have been in the family for a 100 years or 150 years. so this is the order we got in 1976 by grandfather roy got for have in the farm for a 100 years in the family and will be coming up here in just a couple years now. are 150 years of this being a family farm. everything, everything is so expensive right now. the main reason is because of the cost of fuel. la drives calls from everything up. the difference in price of

what the farmer gets for the grain. it seems like it's a high price, but when you take that in consideration, what all the inputs, the equipment and all that stuff ask there are grain prices are, are not high enough to keep up with. what a wall or inputs are costing us gas price. as far as reason for it, ah, our current, a lame duck president, is blaming russia for that. and he doesn't realize that if you could exploring oil resources in the u. s. and canada is shut down pipelines is you make doing business, so prohibitively expensive or so time consuming to file for the right permits. and philly, new forms out all the time. ah, your gas company is,

are going to get blamed for the problem. but they are not the problem, they would like to maximize output. so biden really can't blame booting for causing the problem because he himself caused the problem. in his campaign speeches, he was trying to pander to his woke crowd and he said, there is no room for fossil fuel in this administration, if i get elected soul, ah, my plan on that, which if i was king, i would do. i would have every one that vote for donald trump, bice, get to buy field for $2.00 a gallon less. and everyone that voted for biden paid $2.00 more for fuel. so that would be my solution. what we need to do, you guys need what united states needs to do is start drilling our while again we, we, we've got,

we can drill for oil. and for some reason our government thinks that we shouldn't be using our own oil, which is crazy. you got an environmentalist and all that trying to stop at so what are we new? i don't think electric cars is going to solve the problem. how do you make electricity? windmills when, when it has to blow for the wind wheels to work, what are you doing? the wind doesn't blow but to say that we're going to work off solar or battery technology that we have now. i don't think we've got the capacity to do the work we're doing with what is available. you still have to have a source of electricity to charge your battery capacitor or whatever system you're using. if you burn diesel fuel and turner generator to make the energy, the fertilizers, a lot of the, the commercial,

a conventional fertilizers are what really has one very high this year. so this is urea. so this is 46 percent nitrogen. that is more than double that it was last year. the process to make this is using does use natural gas. so that's, that's the main reason that is higher people that have farmed land for a long time. they generally have a surplus of fertilizers in the soil. it's, i don't know like money in the bank, i guess you'd call it. and you can minimize inputs for a few years, but it'll come back to haunt you eventually. if you don't try to keep up. when you put fertilizer on the land, it generally takes 4 to 5 years before you start to realize any benefits, rather because it is a mineral and it takes the microbes and the soil to break it down. so a plant can use it. so yeah, it's available, the nitrogen is the only thing that's got to be replaced every year and finding

a source for nitrogen has been the hurdle nitrogen. it's like the gas engine of the plan that gives you your height that gives you your size and it makes your plant healthy. so you put a good ear on the same chloride that's more than double also. and we believe that's more due to energy or justs because they can raise it because it shouldn't cost the company is twice as much to produce that same ton of fertilizer as it did, you know, in the past. so i think what it was is typically, john deere and monsanto are always competing to see who can extract $100.00 maker from each farmer that's raising corn. so it looked to me like the fertilizer industry wanted to get in a front line to see if they could extract $200.00 an acre from the fertilizer

expense. and that's what they did this year. and we know every society that has degraded it. soil doesn't treat it right, ends up failing because they lost their food supply, hungry people, right. and overthrow government. so as far as in the, the end user, so the general public buying, you know, a lot of this food basically because the food comes locked in the corn and soybeans even if it's fed through animals you know, the, the b for poultry fish. i've noticed in the grocery store that a lot of these prices are up 25 to 30 percent already. and with high fertilizer and energy prices, you know, they will stay high with the fertilizer being twice as high as where it is normally that probably alone as you know,

10 or 15 percent to the cost of that product going in the grocery store. so for, so this is affecting everyone, obviously, i mean, everyone needs to eat and you know, cost in the groceries are going to be increased. ah, me. so, so yeah, for next year, dramatically changed. we don't see him. if we don't see our commodity prices stay high, because our him put prices have already gone up. fertilizer and chemicals have dramatically risen fuel is dramatically risen. and right now it's, it's a waiting list. if you need to replace machinery, basically, it's really hard to get your hands on any kind of new or used machinery. probably one of the bigger issues right now is get our hands on tires a certain size of the tires. we've had a hard time list. i mean, when it's time to replace the tire, you can't just sit back and wait to sign, replace the tire. you gotta put

a new one on in the area of machine parts. if far were has a 500 dollars 1000 dollar combine with a $150000.00 head on it. when it is missing a $5.00 part that was made in china and they don't have that part. the country does sound like a good idea to have it so that machine has to set and his crop doesn't get combined before the heavy snows yet. so we've, in this country, our political leaders have been spineless and they allowed a lot of manufacturing to be offshored. and oftentimes, and countries that aren't always friendly to us, part for machinery has very bad. a used equipment is getting really expensive because new you can't, my new flu are doing here is making reverse osmosis water. we use reverse

osmosis water for some of our fertilizer products that we make as well as from our com policies. this, this towed is, has, is full of worms that we're using to make. we're kathleen's and basically get this compost and mix ready to be used for compost t extract. this replaces for the spring planting application. what farmer would be paying $30.00 an acre for this is going to cost them about $12.00. so that's where the cost savings comes in. that's why we're doing it. yep. so what we're doing here is using the g o t 250 machine to take dry composts or a dry compost blend that has different ingredients in

a light form castings. and for what can he make asses and different food sources for the biology? where put it in this tea bag or whatever and then bubbling water through it, latch it. basically what it does is you're reenacting the saw with this bacteria and fungi and that bacteria, fungi are loosely enough or making some of that available nutrients available to the plant makes everything work better. it puts more air in the soil, puts more worn soil. it just makes the plant thrive. another thing we're going to do this year is we're gonna use full air on the corn that is a nitrogen fixing bacteria. and for like 15 or $20.00 an acre, we think we can get $45.00 if 50 pounds of nitrogen,

which is about half the price of nitrogen right now. we not. i think that's the things we're gonna have to start new and in the future. and i do believe there will be a lot of people starting new that in the future. if these prices for farmers will find a way to survive and always have some difficulty in it. but we'll see more manufacturing come back and we'll get through it. for the one aspect about the ongoing conflict in ukraine that stands out most is media coverage. never in the history of corporate media has coverage been so biased. one sided, it does not stop, they are questioning the standard narrative is akin to trees in subject to
