You are such an inspiration. We went through a really tough patch last year, we lost our farmland and ended up renting a really rundown patch of land. Its nothing like what you have but creating the videos is spurring us on and keeping us going. One day, you never know but we might be in a position to have a farm again. We can only live in hope.
Well it probably has but then you have to feed 70,000,000 Humans on 1st World Diets & Lifestyles thanks to MASS IMMIGRATION over the past 25 years with 650,000 expected this year alone +. If you were to deduct population growth from mass immigration over that time-scale the UK would still probably be around 55,000,000 and still too many humans for food production. Currently other nations fill the calorie and nutrient deficit. So farming has no chance in such market conditions which also are created to: 1. Crowd out small farms which were good for wildlife and replace with US mega-farms 2. Keep prices low for "affordable food" which again makes farming "no money in it" if speak to small farms that have been going over generations eg a lot of farms ran on subsidies. 3. It seems subsidies were a way to ween farmers onto dependence on government and EU then take that away and put them out of business instead of fixing the market for sustainable farming. The solution by civil servants was probably just wipe them all off the map instead and start again. Agree Sustainable Farming should be the way forwards but the above policies of government seem to cause insurmountable problems.
@@commentarytalk1446 Farms wouldn't have to rely on subsidies if they could produce food with few to no agrochemicals, regenerate the soil so it becomes more productive over time instead of less, and grow food for humans instead of for cattle, which is completely unnecessary and a waste of resources. There is plenty of land on this planet for growing food. Less than 4% is taken up by cities. Unfortunately, a lot of it has become desert because of how we take care of it, which we haven't done. Bring back ruminants, holistically manage their grazing, and deserts can be turned back into grasslands, feeding people the most nutritious food we can eat: beef, lamb, pork, eggs, etc.
I would love to taste your pork! Unfortunately, I live in California.... Have you thought about getting a couple of beavers in a nearby stream? They would give you lots of water and draw even more wildlife!
Love this beautifully made film - Billy Heaney fabulous job well done - and the Wilson family- u r just legends with the most important message EVER of how to farm sustainably and look after our land - the land just speaks for itself - vibrant and full of life 🐝🐞🦟🪰🌸🥀🐸🦌🪺🦉
This might be a silly idea, but couldn’t someone move cows around the country in some trailer or something, spending like a week or two each time in a recreational park to get the grass down, then move onto the next area, spend another week or two grazing grass while overseeing the cows and they go back into their portable home for the night, until they move onto the next area. Then eventually they can be used for food when they get a certain age… could it not be better than using machines to cut the grass in built up areas?
I see hedgerow corridors! Hugely important to creating that full & balanced ecosystem that supports your farm. Especially if you are layering in blossom/berry producing trees & shrubs. Bravo.
Good video, thanks. I am a bit uncertain about your local vending operation from an environmental standpoint. All those car trips just to pick up a pint of milk and the fancy vending machinery must have cost a few tons of emissions to produce, If your vending point was situated in Stow (for example) that might have been a more responsible solution possibly?
The whole of nature processes animals. Unfortunately the planet doesn't function properly without them. Your new fangled ideals aren't practical or even achievable. GWT sits very carefully on the centre line - I don't agree with some of their opinions on pest control (I think they're too soft), but as people at both ends of the spectrum, surely we can both respect them for doing what they feel is right? These animals look happy, which is the important thing. Things get hunted and killed in nature every second of every day.
Ever seen how an orca "processes" a seal? Now THAT is horrible. And completely natural. I don't like it, but there's not a thing I can do about it. At least the animals on regenerative ranches are treated gently and well, live nice lives on green pastures, are given plenty to eat, and even have a good sex life. LOL When they meet their end, it's a gentle process, too. Or would you prefer to let the animals die of natural causes and get eaten by vultures? Human beings evolved to eat meat, as much as they could get. Those who ate grains, like the Egyptians, had terrible teeth and heart disease, among other problems. I think the closer we can get to what we evolved eating the better. Just a thought. Take it or leave it.🙂

Thank goodness for people like you. So inspiring.
Sustainable farming the 0nly way forward, pity the NFU hasn't realised it yet.

Awesome, thank u!
So wonderful thank you
Use the wool as a mushroom subrate
Amazing people doing an amazing job 👍💯

Fantastic, great to see this in our Cotswolds ❤

VeRy nice
thank you!!
Outstanding

thank you for this great film,the way to go for farming

Locals might be using that road daily to get to and from work. It's to catch them. Hopefully people wont drive just to get a pint of milk!
Still processing animals 💔 Horrible.
Why ?
Male calves still sold off for meat, veal etc?
Does it look like there living a bad life

This was so calming and beautifully edited. I might watch this again as a nice bedtime story
