After hours of research, I have found out why my tomato plants on one side of the greenhouse grew really fast and curled. Can Hay be the problem? We found some very startling facts about hay production and harvest. This has been the problem with our garden for the past couple of years. Chemicals used on hay, animals eating hay, and us using the manure for compost on plants.

Wow Danny, I can understand your anger. I had no idea about this. I bought 2 bales of straw and asked if they knew if the straw was sprayed with chemicals since it was going around my potatoes....they looked at me as if I were from Mars. It seemed like a perfectly reasonable question to me.

@donnaocasio45 4 года назад

Omg , thank y’all SOOOOOOO much. This is the very thing that I have o.c.d about. Everything is contaminated, I mean EVERTHING. I’ve realized it along time ago but was told I was nuts, everything from lotions, deodorants, soaps , shampoos, clothing, air and water. It’s overwhelming and terrifying..

"Buyer's Beware". It's good that channel like yours exist. I have always wondered about a lot of the bagged manure being sold. It's time we learn to buy from our neighbors when possible.. Or, really and truly go back to the old ways.. Or, we will do more harm than good in most cases. I won't buy seeds any more, from ANYONE, that I don't know personally.. I today choose my battles, to prevent a war. Thank you for sharing this Danny. " We are what we eat ". I always tell my granddaughter, stay away from bagged manure for such a small garden and her pots. I hope she's listened.. It's just to much misinformation and half truth. Thank you again for sharing Peace

@jeremiahlackey1582 4 года назад

Thank you for this valuable timely information Danny! Just yesterday I was looking over my pastures and hay meadows and was about to pull the trigger on having them all sprayed with grazon. I used to spray some of them with low vol 6 but haven’t in about 15 years now. The weeds are starting to choke out the grass and take over. If I had that sprayed that it would have killed off my feed source as far as all the gardens, fruit and nut trees, all the different berries and grapes not to mention tainting the meat when I process my cows for the freezer. This is must know valuable information that no one around my area seems to know. Thank You Danny for bringing this to my attention!

How frustrating! I know of one gardener who had problems with herbicides in straw he mulched his garden with.I would be concerned about the affects on the pregnant cows with this chemical.We're always being told a chemical is "safe" and then down the line finding out its not

@NS-pf2zc 4 года назад

It really is quite an epidemic! I always check and check and check with the hay farmers we get hay from. One thing you can do is test the manure by planting a couple of beans in it, and then plant some control beans in unaffected soil and see if the curling happens. To test the hay you do the same thing, but instead watering with water you've soaked and then strained out the suspect hay. One way to find hay that doesnt have aminopyralids (grazon isnt the only brand that has that chemical) is to find a poor farmer who can't afford to spray. Then look for broadleaf weeds in that hay. And triple check to make sure they dont put ANYTHING on those fields. Sorry you guys got burnt by this.

@ABamaGardener 4 года назад

Danny, I'm so sorry this happened to you. This is what I have been writing to you about this past year. DON'T use straw either because they kill it to harvest with round-up. Here in Alabama its the same as Mississippi. We are so depended of chemicals that they don't even think about what its doing. Now that you got some clean bales you're gonna have to figure out how to grow your own. Please watch Gabe Brown under my "Soil Biology" playlist. It will help you with that and Yes his idea's do work in the southern soils. I also can put you in touch with Ray Archuleta. if you want to speak to him directly. What you can do now with that "bad" compost pile is get some bio-char. You can buy some Royal Oak Natural Lump Charcoal break it up into small bits and incorporate it into your compost. (abt 5%) this will help absorb and breakdown any heavy metals and toxins.. Call me if you need phone numbers.

@danelleroundabouts2559 4 года назад

bio char and mushrooms helped me clean up soil. I thought I was getting some rich compost & soil as it was recommended by a friend. When it was delivered I could smell diesel. Thought well duh it's the truck. After the truck left I could still smell it. Next day could still smell it. It was from the soil!. Called to see where this came from. Well it was scrapings off a saw mill parking lot!! CRAAAP no wonder. Young and dumb didn't think about it prior. Trusted someone else. Now I know.

@joyceobeys6818 4 года назад

I hate GMOed foods! I wonder if they can say it’s organic when they use that stuff? Recently, The mennonites had dirt I bought that killed my plants. They buy it from a mushroom harvester then they add their manure to it, they bag it then sell it. I can’t figure it out why my plants are dying and this could be the reason. I even put ground dirt and Epsom salts hoping that would stop everything from dying. Maybe they are doing the same thing in spraying because they use lots of pesticides or maybe the mennonites are buying their hay out side of their community and the mennonites may not know either. But they hardly have anything organic. A few tomatoes n that’s it. And they spray directly on each plant while they wear gas masks. Which doesn’t make sense, because they eat the fruit n vegys that they spray. This world drives me to upset with the sin. I tried telling a few very kindly that it’s truly not loving your neighbor as yourselves when you sell them foods with pesticides. They told me there was a split over that very subject and some went north to a different camp where they grow all organic. But my husband and I still can’t find the organic community. Thank you so much for sharing this.

@Cdngardengirl 4 года назад

I figured this out about 20 years ago and tried to tell people but no one would believe me, as they didn't believe you, and they insisted everything was fine. The chemical companies said so. As my mum used to say: And if they told you to bang your head against a brick wall, would you do that, too?

Danny, when you said that they are spraying that crap on the hay, my heart sank. The first thing I thought of is all that meat I was so careful to buy because it is organic grass fed beef and it was all for not! Then you said what I was thinking. Makes me so angry!!! I don't have a lot of money coming in, but I was trusting that I was making healthy choices, even tho it costs way more than the other meats. This makes me so angry!! So tired of being lied to, especially when it comes to the food I buy!! I am not in the position of being able to raise my own critters. I have to rely on these companies to tell me the truth that I am getting what I expect to get and they lie!!! They are killing us slowly!!!

I don't want to eat the beef or drink the milk, eat the cheese or anything dairy from the store from now on. What about the pelleted feed that we buy for our chickens and rabbits? Could that be contaminated as well? If so, they are going on a new diet, because we use that manure for our garden.

@jdaniels6913 4 года назад

You encountered GRAZON which is only one of the persistent herbicides, there are more. The four main persistent herbicides of concern are clopyralid (sold as Confront, Stinger, and other brands), picloram (sold as Tordon or Grazon), aminopyralid (sold as Milestone, ForeFront, and other brands) and aminocyclopyrachlor (sold as Imprelis, Streamline, and other brand names) .

@@featheredcoyote5477 I have 35 acres of hay and it has been excellent for many years, but last year our friend decided to put fertilizer on it. I don't think it helped anything.

Rachel Carson tried to warn us, back in the 60's! I ran across a random on-line article about this a while back, and have been trying, without much luck, to find out more details. I got lucky, because I was just about to collect some manure from some livestock ranch to up-size my compost production, when I started to learn about these herbicides. I don't currently have any livestock to produce manure for compost. Now, I'm on a mission to trace the chemicals all the way back to the farm before I'll use any manure. And, when I am ready to add livestock to my place, I'll research every outside feed source before using it. Thanks for this video! God bless y'all!

@larrymoore6640 4 года назад

Back in 2009 I had a twh stallion, full round bale 13% Bermuda all to himself and fresh water. Dewormed, teeth floated and losing unexplained weight. He got down to skin and bones, stayed 24 days at a vet clinic and blood tests showed being off but nothing that they could ever figure out even after calling experts all over the USA. Sent him home with the chilling words "When he stops eating you'll know it's time to put him down". With nothing left to loose I put him on a specific horse feed all he could eat and a thin silver of alfalfa hay 2x a day. This feed has probiotics in it as well as Trace minerals. Which I believe got his gut enzymes going again. 6 weeks later he was looking like his old self again. I lost him two years later to a large cancer mass around his heart that eventually blinded one eye and going for the other. Lost a brood mare too and a several cows from that hay. Through questions and research I finally found out it was Dupont Direct 4L (pre-emergent for weeds) that was accidentally misapplied too heavy via rented equipment. Has an 80 day cutting window and I found a study that rats on this Dupont 4L lost weight after 30 days let alone all winter eating this hay. So yes, I totally agree that we and our animals and land are being poisoned each and every day.

On this same basic premise ,they are having expensive highly bred racing horses fall over dead at 5-7 yrs old at the racetracks and stables in Cal. . Glyphosate replaces Glysine , a building block protein in all mammals glxphxate is used on the oats to ripen them uniformly also , I don't about oats out of Canada as here in Michigan that's where most of them come from , I have been in and around farming my whole life an I have seen such a dramatic change in the attitude in farmers it makes me truley sad to see the infection that is in the colleges filter down into this once sacred profession.

Aminopyralids are no joke - keeping them out of my soil is one of the reasons that I garden the way that I do. When they call an herbicide 'persistent', they ain't kidding. Those molecules will survive passing through a ruminant's digestive system, composting, and still interfere with any broad-leafed plant's ability to build new cells for years.

@L_Martin 5 месяцев назад

A way to test new hay would be to pick a “test crop” that you know will be effected if the hay is bad. Try to grow a young plant in the hay and grow a “control group” plant in regular compost and see if they grow the same. Charles Dowding has a video showing how he does this using broad beans. Once you see the 2 plants are growing fine, you can proceed to use the hay throughout your garden. This testing method is good because you only lose 1 broad bean plant if it turns out it is poison, and you save your garden.

@jpobrien5418 6 месяцев назад

Grazon contamination can and will last for up too five years. I have a few contaminated raised beds from amending with tainted manure. Im still having problems after two plus years. The only thing you can do is get rid of as much of it as possible or grow cover crops in it for a few years which will help to leach it out of the soil. Legumes in particular can be effective. Beans.. im in southern Florida so im going to use the effected areas to grow peanuts. This grazon is a major problem for farmers, gardeners, and growers. We spend all this time, money and sweat equity trying to have clean organic food only to end up with tainted ground, loss of food, and for commercial growers a major loss of income. Most times the farmers or vendors will not disclose the fact that grazon and other herbicides have been used. Even if they were aware of it. I have switched over to only using what i can produce on site in my garden. Composting, vermiculture, feeding with fermented swamp juice from soaking weeds, biochar, and chop and drop to help condition and improve my soil. Permaculture techniques have been key for my gardens. I appreciate you making this video. This is a huge problem and every time I try to tell people about this they look at me like im nuts.

I am convinced that the Black Cow manure is the reason that my tomato leaves curled and became almost leathery feeling. I am trying so hard to grow organic but between the chemicals in everything we buy and fighting the pests and powdery mildew I feel defeated. The people that make these chemicals have families too, are they not concerned. What are we going to do Danny.

What's not in this video is that none of these persistent herbicides are labeled for use on crops, including hay. Under Federal law using herbicide in a manner inconsistent with its labeling is illegal. If you buy hay and it's carrying persistent herbicide, the person who sold it to you has committed a Federal offense. A few people get busted for it and it will stop.

@onedazinn998 4 года назад

This was so important thanks for posting. I had trouble at my first farm finding organic anything. I got lucky with my first straw bed garden that the farmer didn't spray the straw I bought. Even though we lived in an Amish strong community area, it is hard as heck to convince multi-generation farmers that they should stop spraying their crops. They just don't think about the cycle of contamination. I was the only customer who bought the Amish non-gmo organic feed at the mill. >.< If we can't even use spent hay or straw in our gardens or feed our livestock...we really have to get really focused on growing our own fodder and need to research more. Most people don't have the land & equipment for haying...and if I have to do it it will be by scything, old fashion stacks & less animals to feed.

I don't have livestock that eats hay... but I do use straw in my garden. So far, so good. I buy Earthgrow Organic Compost Manure... seems to be a great product. But I'm considering raising rabbits for their manure and doing earthworm compost...thanks for the heads up because now I know I'll have to produce their feed as well. You probably saved my soil. 🙏💚

My uncle bails hay! I use to drive the truck while he and my brother would throw it. I cant wait to ask him how he goes about this!! You should write a book!! I tell my kids all the time - every generation before you is the best tool in your tool box! - Wealth of knowledge and experience- knowledge is power and you would be crazy not to utilize those generation while you still can!! I just recently found your channel. - Time to play catch up!

We did use grazon and remedy on our pasture. It kills the good grass like clover and rye. We stopped using it, Clover is great for our pasture and has come back good this year. Thanks for the information, God Bless!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm just a backyard hobby gardener but it's so depressing to do everything you can to do it right but sometimes plants die...and it's not my fault. Even a veteran farmer such as yourself gets burned. I was just about to stop composting my yard and garden waste. it is a lot of work but well worth it I guess. Thank you again for sharing.

Thank you for this! Just the other day my mail man told me he was getting ready to cut his hay. So, I showed him my back field that used to be a horse pasture and asked him if he knew anyone who needed another place to cut hay. He could have the hay, and I could walk back to my pond without getting chiggers all over me! He told me I should get someone to bush hog it and then spray it before cutting the hay. Now I know what he was talking about! Now I know what he's using on his 60 acres of hay! edit to add: I just looked up Grazon and found this at the bottom of the discription! "Hay from grass treated with GrazonNext HL within the preceding 18-months can only be used on the farm or ranch where the product is applied unless allowed by supplemental label". From what you've researched and discovered, it sounds like nobody is paying attention to that warning.

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

@lbarnes8207 4 года назад

mow that field a couple of times, bale it and sell it to those in your area who do not want contaminated hay. run you an add in the organic farmers newsletters/websites in your area. if that takes off then hunt you up a few more fields that have not been sprayed. you would be amazed how many 5 acre plus fields you can find and use that people own but pay to just get them mowed once a year. most will let you cut hay off of it so they don't have to pay to get it cut. i smell a business opportunity!😊

@stanleypennock2118 4 года назад

Most farmers don't realize they are putting their own families and ours at risk! They have trusted the sprays that huge, rich chemical companies have led them to believe are safe. Chemical companies that our federal government are supposed to oversee! In a era where the farmer bares the production costs, but the middle man make the bulk of the profits from the farmers crops, farmers have to produce in larger quantities than ever before, so keep in mind that in some ways the farmers are the victim as well.

When I contacted the representative for North Alabama from corteva, a dowdupont company, I learned that it’s not only the manure that’s a problem but I couldn’t move my vegetable garden or plant fruit trees on my own land because it had been sprayed with grazon by the guy who cuts hay from it. She told me it would take 3-7 years depending on how fast it percolates out of the soil. In other words, drains away into our water table. I found out about this product from a friend who used her own cow manure in a garden bed of tomatoes and peppers. For some reason her yellow squash wasn’t killed. She was told wait three years and try it again. In my opinion, grazon is a scourge second only to roundup. My two cents worth.

Thank you Danny.Great video! I used hay many years ago for mulch...then it occured to me that it most likely isn't organic and stopped using it. Still using plain cardboard over winter to protect raised beds under dried grass and leaves. Probably not the best but worms love it. 😊 God bless 💕ps...all alfalfa is now GMO.

The aminopyralids are getting into lots of stuff. Not only hay, but store bought compost & potting soil too. I'm just waiting for it to show up in our feed we give our animals. If that happens, we won't be able to use the manure for gardening at all. Hopefully you'll be able to sell your hay to someone who doesn't mind the aminopyralids.

@jawjagrrl 4 года назад

We have about 40 acres dedicated to hay. It is sprayed with NOTHING. timing of the cut is the key for weed control. We have an arrangement with a local fellow with cows that he can come and cut, bale, etc., and just have it as we don't have livestock here. Saves us the time and fuel to cut all that ourselves. If chemical-free hay is really that rare, perhaps we need to rethink the arrangement.

@christineoffthegrid6373 3 года назад

Thankfully I have my own organic hay. However, we get a friend to cut it and last year he wanted to put fertilizer on it. I don't think it made any difference to the quality, but farmers are addicted to putting things on crops! So frustrating!

@mypseudorealitymaybenot7845 4 года назад

All I can say is thank goodness I have my own hay baled on 7 acres in shares by a neighboring farmer. And yes there are some weeds in it... don't really care. I'm like you Danny about feeding weeds, many weeds actually get consumed. My horse is smart enough not to eat it if noxious. She actually loves brambles and even thistles if baled young and tender, although everyone will tell you she shouldn't be allow to eat them. What I think is the weeds provide a different nutritional profile than the grasses, different minerals pulled from the soil. There is also dandelions and narrow leaf plantain which are edible for most animals. About 85% forage grass and clover and 15% assorted 'weeds' are just fine in my book. And yup hay and manure goes on the garden worry free. I have clay soil and actually want some of those deep rooted weeds to put nutrients to the top soil. Nettle are rarely eaten when green but let them dry, after fall frost or in hay and my horses always cleaned them up. Nettles will be eaten green if your animals are ill, they know when they need to eat medicinals, but they are rarely available for free choice grazing. All weeds are not bad. But I also walk the field once in the spring and hack down the few harmful weeds I see, helps keep them in check. BUT I wonder if I advertise my excess hay for sale as grazon free or non-sprayed if I can get a better price for it from an informed customer, hmmmm.

Some studies show the herbicides stay in compost even up to 5 years, but mostly gone in about 2. If you have extra garden plots, I would spread it and plant and mow cover crops like rye, mustard (it likely wont grow well, but might survive) and Sudan grass for at least 2 years to clean and build the soil.
