Bio Ag Management was started in 2016 by Clint Frese, Clayton Frese, and Luke Holst. Clint and Clayton Frese are progressive farmers in West Central Illinois who were early adopters of precision ag data management and equipment utilization.
Luke Holst is also a farmer and the owner of Holst Precision Ag-specializing in Precision Ag hardware sales, service, and implementation of Precision Ag strategies.
After years of fine-tuning and implementing Precision Ag plans, Clint and Luke began to realize that soil health, and the biological
processes that occur in soil are some of the most important drivers in profitable crop production. They adopted the principles of regenerative farming.
Bio Ag Management is partners with Biovante, a leader in soil health expertise and biological amendment products for row crop production. Through this partnership, Bio Ag Management is able to produce and source a diverse line of products to help farmers increase yield, improve soil health and maximize efficiency in their operations.
Our organic soil amendment programs and services aim to bring immediate results while improving long-term soil health and biological diversity. The long term goal of all of our Soil Amendment Programs is to increase overall soil health (for example - soil structure, soil respiration, and building of soil organic matter).
Bio Ag Management is focused on bringing consistent profitability to a grower’s operation.
72 year old guy with just a garden but i've been watching you since your start - i find this so interesting - Also my wife is from up by you in Stratton and I was able to talk to her father who was born in 1903 and farmed all his life. Started with mules and horses all the way thru tractors - quit farming in his mid 80's. Living history book. Thanks for taking us along on your ride.
Bill thank you so much for the encouragement
Where are so you live now?
@@youngredangus6041 I live in Spring Branch Texas about 20 miles above San Antonio Texas
Thanks for making these videos. Helps alot
Really impressed with how fast you drove to Illinois
Thanks man! I didn’t even get a ticket!
I’m very interested in this for my farm. Seems up here in Canada the thinking is way behind you guys. I have finally started dealing with a company here that is thinking like you guys. I like that you guys are basing your input recommendations based off nutrient farming on what the crops need
Awesome James! You will be a world changer up north
very good idea...
Way to go!
you can not rush nature ,some organisms grow over a period of time that you can not control.
Really like this operation. Hope it spread world wide. I do have a couple questions. They referred to the Bio stimulant. Could you explain that a little more, the process and what it is? Also is it possible to do a clip on some microscope analysis showing examples of the food source on its own versus after ramp up with stimulant, plus a sample of the extract prior to stimulant and after? It would be really neat to see the difference in those and what that product going onto the fields looks like. I am trying to start up a business for edible landscape/food forest and have doing research on living soils. I have been watching Dr Elaine's soil food web channel. That is when I came across your channel. This is all very interesting and encouraging information. Thanks for sharing.

I think Clint could answer that question better than I could.
If you go to the webinar and scroll to the bottom his number is there
@@youngredangus6041 do you reckon this process could be adapted for municipal composting programs at scale?
'Biostimulant' = code for sugar/molasses
what are the differences and between worm juice against your compost extracts? Does it add more benefit from worm compost? Could you explain it more in depth. thanks
Where do they get their Humic Acid from?
Not sure if I miss understood what you said about mixing for 40 minutes and then its ready ? I thought it takes 16 - 24 hours to achieve good results sorry if this has been asked before regards David
I’m sure he is talking about 40 minutes an extract and not for a tea. A Tea would take that 16 to 24 hours.
what does he mean by bio stimulants with which they start growing population of the microbes in the blend of compost?
What bio stimulant are they using and how do they add it?
Are there any recomendations for delivering the maximum amount of live, intact organisms for pumps and sprayer nozzle heads. It would be a shame to make great tea and then kill half the microbes. Thank you for all you do.
Use a diaphragm pump, these pumps are the least destructive to the biology, and 12 PSI or less of pressure (then clean your tanks asap, can use vinegar and water with a scrubber).
I’m confused on how we can make a tea which would definitely be an anaerobic environment when that goes against everything I’ve ever heard about making good compost which needs to be aerobic. How do the microorganisms survive in a water saturated environment?
Also, can’t you destroy much of the microorganisms with a centrifugal pump? Was wondering if a diaphragm pump would be less harmful??
When you make a tea you are constantly giving it oxogen and that keep the fungi alive. You then have 24 our to get it put out before it goes anaerobic
You will kill a lot of the biology but a ton of it survives
@@youngredangus6041 thanks. Are you using pond or well water or something from a treated system? I would think untreated would be better? Like non chlorinated rather than from a public system.
@@mbailey12341
I’m guessing that would be better but I’m sure David Johnson has to just use what is available
@@mbailey12341 Its all about efficiency. The more boxes you check, the more organisms you will have. Having non chlorinated pond\well\bottled
ain water will be a massive improvement. Diaphragm pump and less than 12 PSI of pressure is what Dr Elaine talks about. Aerobic organisms survive well in water which has air running through it. This technology has been used for the past decade with incredible results, so it has already proven itself on many hundreds of thousands of hectares of land all around the world:)
How many subs from the land of Lincoln called you out on your destination? College roommate from Dixon, Ill used to say “there ain’t no NOISE in Illinois. Indian tribe/word pronounced “I’ll-ih-noy”
Do I say Illia-noise in this one?
My wife would kill me😂
How much does it cost to get it. We would put it in with our planters we are in upper middle PA we farm 1500 acres and we have really hilly ground but we have not used tilling for over 20 years we have been no till. This is something that we would use in our planters instead of chemical fertilizer because it would damage the planter and it is going to be less expensive than buying nitrogen.we just sold out dairy cows and we are switching over to crop and beef so we are really busy and we don't have much help because we are a family farm so it would be more efficient to buy than make this stuff we are trying to get out corn harvested as well even with 95 day corn we still don't have long enough growing season and we don't have bins up I would love to see what this does to our soil everyone gets around 100 bushels to the acre around herei think we could get 150-200 with this stuff I am only 14 I am hoping that I can convince my dad and uncle to do this on our farm we would probably do a few acres this coming season thanks for sharing this research 👍👍👍
Oh my gosh your 14?!
George you are amazing George
Yes there is some products you can buy
I’ll share another video with you.
I also have a book I encourage you to read with your dad it’s called
For the Love of Soil by Nicole Masters

Watch this RUclips video and let me know what other questions you might have. I’m excited to help you George!
Hey George, you can certainly do this on your farm and a good way to start out is performing a pilot on a small portion of your land. I teach farms how to do this through my company that uses Dr Elaine Ingram model, reach out if you would like to discuss further.
If you aerate It for 24 hours Will there be any benefits
Yeah and cons.
You increase the fungal populations of certain species and kill off others .
But you have to add a food source. Fish products feed fungi and molasses and other sugars feed bacteria.
great that companies are looking at liquid compost tea, but the problem I see from this is....the end product is not made from the materials on or near the property where it is to be used, and we know most if not all major farming is done outdoors at ambient temperature so the compost should be made at the ambient temperature of the fields where it will be used so
the bio- nutrients should be grown at temperature of local area. And as a matter of nature, the natural compost is not made of other plants but from the fallen decomposed material of the plants themselves..To make an effective compost for corn, corn plant residue should be used to make that compost...same for wheat, rye, tomatoes...any crop you are trying to grow...still seeing farmers using a crop rotation method (does mother nature rotate the fields where plants grow?)...meaning that the plants have learned to extract the nutrients needed from that spot and the liquid compost you add that is made from them plants is putting the necessary nutrients back in and the plants are feeding on that....just a thought...
getting conventional farmers to try this is a very good step in the right direction. your points are valid to most but farmers doing this for many generations are hard to break of their habits. Baby step as these guys are doing is a great start in the right direction.
Why dont you put compost and manure direct on the land
Apparently this is a way of making it go farther. It can also be used to treat seeds prior to planting.
2lbs of material per acre is pretty efficiant and used for inoculation of the soil.
Its all about efficiency and workload, you can, but it will take a heck of a lot of time/effort to be running around putting this rich compost on the plants. Its much easier with a truck and nozzle to spray your large area. The best results come from pre-soaking seeds, then applying tea directly into the hole close to the roots. Foliar spraying has the least effect if done alone. The biggest effects are biology as close to roots as possible, so apply into the hole during planting with pre-soaked seeds (soaked in the tea or simply dipped into the tea).
So, he sells it to the customer and they put it in furrow full strength?
They make extracts for in furrow and teas for foliar
@@youngredangus6041 when do they treat the seeds
@@scottbrooks5662
I think it depends on the needs of their customers.

Sound is not too good.
Thanks for the feed back I forgot my equipment that day
Yeah, headphones helped.
needs a microphone?
I have one
I forgot to bring it on that trip
What is the amount of compost you can maximum extract into 1000 litres?
1lbs for 4 gallons is what I like
@@youngredangus6041 ok, that is my current rate as well. When making some stock a more dense solution is possible?
This is a very expensive, inefficient system with little to no benefit. There are dozens of studies on this and the results are not good. I suggest you get a lab test on your effluent. You will be shocked.
none of what you said is true
I have done my own test with my own compost
It’s good
Our yield prove it
Clint has tested his. Their yields prove it.
Go ahead and share your dozens of studies. I’m sure they were bought and paid for by companies who sell fertilizers.

Our test.
@@youngredangus6041 I wish you the best of luck.
savings on hunderds of lbs per acres is expensive? no benefit to adding fungi and bacteria to your farm? my farm can also say otherwise...
