By implementing the Three Rules of Adaptive Stewardship we can optimize soil health, forage biomass production, livestock performance, and net profitability. One of those Rules is the Rule of Disruption. By introducing planned, purposeful disruptions pr...

Human health is linked with the diets of livestock through the chemical features of the plants that livestock eat. That includes not only energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins plants contain, but the tens of thousands of other compounds plants produce, collectively termed phytochemicals. This rich pool of compounds is increasingly recognized as responsible-as a complex whole-when trying to un...

Soil Samples for Hay Fields and Pasture: Why sample and what to do with the results?
The info graphic at 1:12:00 and the explanation from Mr. Williams isn't making sense to me. We want to increase root growth, right? If increased grazing stops root growth how does increased grazing benefit us? Green usually indicates a positive, but his explanation seems to be that the red numbers are the positive end of the proposition. What am I missing?
We don't want to remove 100% of the forage in any grazing. The point is to take 50% or less forage per grazing in order to encourage root growth as opposed to stopping root growth.
@@joshuafontenot283 thanks, that point wasn't made, or poorly presented in the video.
@@redmanyhats well good thing I can clarify it for you :)
Debt load on US farms is highest ever. I never understood why farmers, outbid other farmers to keep land prices excessively high. I gess you can blame anticipated inflation.
farms are still cheap though because not many want to do it.
B Horizon Dust Storms should be far more of a emergency than COVID. Watching this from NZ where unfortunately you would have to look hard to find a recovery academic. The same problems here with soil degradation. Any change here is from the bottom up.
Moo😊😊😊 See no no no no pizza of no moo
Are you ashamed of this comment yet? Don't worry, you will be one day.
1:10:00 is that Alejandro Carillo's ranch in Mexico?
Keep spreading manure and the good news of regenerative ag.
I thought it was a horrible change when commercial buyers caused change with the packing sheds to now outlaw animal manure, so around us if you want to commercially sell your orchard produce you can't graze.
Incredible!!!! Thank you ever so much. This info never gets old! Would like to know more about the bunk peer review study referred to early in the talk.
