This is amazing to see! Thank you so much for the work you are doing!

Great stuff, I’m in Greece and started the hard way. After starting permaculture things went a bit better but I’m finding that it’s just not enough and looking for different methods. Dry farming is definitely the way to go. Could you give a talk on cover crops and one on calcarious soils. Thanks again

You said that you don't manipulate the environment to grow your corn but you do. You clear every bit of vegetation on it to grow your corn. Then you leave it bare and exposed when you clear your crop

I made it through eighteen minutes of talking and had to stop the video. I’m sure I am the lesser for it.

I planted in nearly straight sand under deep mulch with 0 water in an area that got 10-12 inches of rain per year. Now I have 30 inches + and heavy clay. One garden is deep mulch, the other bare soil, but this is my experiment year. I will be attempting dry garden in both, to see how ot works.

HEEHOO PEANUT!

I happened upon this while trying to find any more information on the Mitla Black common bean (I'm reasonably confident it's a common bean, but the quality of the evidence, being essentially equivalent to a google search, is quite low). While not directly related, I appreciate it greatly.

Out of interest: why not flip the water tension graph upside down so it represents the level of water in the soil for non-technical readers?

My main issue is the lack of water 💧, other than rain. We haul in our drinking and animals water. At this time im looking to find a very low cost way to store rain water we get plenty here i just dont have a way to hold ut at this time and do no have money to buy them. 😔 i love seeing my squash frow from seeds i saved, it is such a beautiful thing... last yr we had a drought, but i still got some squash, a Butternut and Delicota, and seeds from my Super Sioux tomatoes 🍅 😋

Hello from Hollar homestead

Is there any way by which I can contribute to ensuring these people's lives and practices are viable for the next 2 millennia?

This is Dave Christensen who developed Painted Mtn and several other lines. I was surprised that Painted Mtn did not produce as good as the others. I have spent 52 years selecting it for hardship. It wins other trials. These last 3 years it has been grown in record breaking drought. I expect that my newer seed would do a lot better for you. We grow in Northern Montana where there is 11" of moisture in a good year. Lately we have had terrible drought. No rain after June. What do you call dryland? I expect that Painted Mtn would have better standability and plant architecture than the color lines that other people have extracted from it.

I spoke with Earnest Stubbe decades ago. His corns were an accidental cross between yellow dent and a dark or black corn, which I think he said came from Mexico. He said that "every color came out of the black corn". He made murals out of the different colors of kernels. Perhaps the black parent was from Oaxaca and that is where Oaxacan Green got it's name? I'm just guessing.

Great info! I was wondering if you would use a pelleted sugarsnax seed, or skip the pelleted for dry farming? We are in Yelm, Wa on the west side of the cascades.

This was an amazing lecture! I could listen to him talk all day. Might have to take him up on the offer to visit.

How did yield per acre compare?

What Fertilizer do Hopifarmers use?

no information about dry farming at all! Too much bla, bla

Great video, thank you.

Wow, this information is invaluable. I love the notion of dry farming. I can imagine looking at my water bill going down. 😅 Thank you.

Why maintain distinct varieties? Just mix them all together and save the best seed and achieve landrace after a few years

Have you guys ever considered seeding white clover into the corn?

Does Oaxacan green taste good?

No hopi corn made it into the mix?

Thanks for sharing, I'm trying to expand and dry-farming is the only way I'll be able to do this, so really needed this

Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain

Thanks for sharing this. Incredibly useful research

Superbe 😉 😊 😉 😊

Um uh

Thanks Steve Solomon

Thank you from Cyprus

El Nino, La Nina, sea, atmosphere and drought: ones of agriculture may think of solutions, concepts and their implementationd. "Dry Farming" is of "... the production of crop in its growing season without irrigation... (utilizing) moisture in the soil from rainy season..."(minutes 7...-9... of this video). Greenish Blues (ruclips.net/video/0rSFpoDcnEQ/видео.html). Greenish plants and blues around which are the sky. Our today agriculture and its technologies: "Dry Farming" technology for instance. Thank you and regard, Guntur Wiseno Putra

I use Natural Korean Farming and deep mulch. I chop and drop anything that is cut back. I feel the ground wants to be covered and not nake. It is soil bacteria and micro fungi that heals and the rain cycle. Now, I am not there and cannot judge. We get a lot more rain where I live.

Thank you for your efforts! For the corn and for the people ...

You should put your tomatoes one acre apart from each other.And since vegetables are mostly water ,you will have super success by not providing the water they need to be healthy and synthesize their water based fruits.

i thought that was cathie wood

A very interesting video. Thanks.

Experimenting here in sahara I do the Totaly Opersit by planting as close as posibel and then make shadow combined with ground cover. But I also have all the water I want a meter down 😄 so it comes up when I cover the ground. Next please will be more difficult way into the dessert. Still plenty water but I need to desalinate before use 😕

I'm reading The Intelligent Gardener. Epic book!!

Pigeon bean need no water grown in africa , madacasca

So grateful to you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. Thank you so much!

TRYING to turn my family property, purchased in the 50's, into dry farmed orchards, in the aforementioned upland Coast Range of western Oregon, ~700'ele, 12miles west-southwest of Salem. Max 7GPM. Sadly a HUGE pension fund owns neighboring property, a vineyard(arrived in 2005) has 7 acre pond with turbine pump along ridgetop irrigating ~300 acres of grapes. Well's have failed. Not very neighborly the 6 vineyards within a mile of home. Not a simple a case of sour🍇, h2o is life in all forms.🌧🌨🌫🌊

Hello, Dry Farming Collaborative can you place the referenced scholars, books, websites in your description?

Is that Cathie Wood?

Interesting, but only gardeners with 5 acres has room to put individual plants 8 feet apart?

Dust bowl?

What a great interview and an interesting man.

Is it me or the audio? I am straining to understand what he is saying, and missing so much. I live in greater Seattle so I'm very interested but.... :(

Great channel and info. Thanks.
