Stories of Regeneration: A New (Re)Generation - Ft. Carrie Richards
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- When Carrie Richards was growing up, she always had a feeling she'd end up taking over the ranch that her family had owned and operated since 1941. What she didn't expect was to do so in her 30s, with a husband and two kids in tow, and to radically change the way her family had managed their land for generations. Through research, trial and error, and a tireless multi-generational effort, Carrie has been able to implement regenerative farming methods that build back soil and revitalize the land. By stewarding the land regeneratively - focused on the full spectrum of health from soil to cattle to community - Carrie is bringing new life to the family ranch and illustrating the wonderful possibilities of regeneration.

Having to run the ranch as a business will be one of the biggest turning point in ranches for the farmer/rancher.
Just a city-dwelling beef consumer here trying to learn about why I should support organic, grass-fed cattle and regenerative farming. I absolutely loved watching this video and am totally inspired to do my part by spending the extra $$ and voting with my pocket book to encourage this movement back to the way God intended us to care for the land. You go girl!!
The main reason is that the meat processors will sell you 0:00 Pink Slime instead of wholesome ground beef. Do an internet search on Pink Slime.
Most places missed farms and it's challenges one thing hidden in my heart is it is the only peaceful place on earth,our children will benefit in a way or the other just like the boy n girl following the parents thanks cheers.
Tremendous!
Re-gen is the latest Fad here in NZ with the government about to invest money into research, trouble is the way we farm here is similar but more conventional than full re-gen, full re-gen has shown to be a lot less productive and less profitable than a well run conventional system due to the poor quality grass from understocking as evidenced by the pasture your cattle are on , there looks to be no feed value left in that pasture.You will however be building organic matter which is a good thing, trick is to strike a balance, shut paddocks that need building up for standing hay in the autumn etc but keep most productive high quality feed for good growth rates . Re-gen can damage your bottom line as much as overstocking and depleting soils and pastures in a conventional system.
I wonder does she know how lucky she is , my dad went to his grave , I tried and tried , it my very well be to late but I'm trying . I loved my dad and alot of knowledge died with him....and all I got is 40 acres! 😂
"Take care of the grass. The cows will take care of themselves" - wise words! Kiss The Ground has nothing to do with "environmentalism" ... it's just common sense. It's getting back to human wisdom and what actually works
I was raised in market gardening and always told "take care of the soil and the plants take care of themselves" same principle really.
I’m so jealous, kids who raise animals make better adults 👍
You guys that was FANTASTIC! We’ve always loved Carrie, but you captured her and her ranch’s essence beautifully! Thank you for shining a light on those practicing Holistic Management 🙏
Thank you for all the work you do to educate the open minded.
I thank Savory Institute for spreading this knowledge... i am a small farmer with a few cattle in south of India... your research helped a lot to regenerate the soil here... keep up doing your good work... I share to as many people about you ...🙏
Any updates on this operation?
Pretty much the story of me and my dad. Farming is tough, but farming with you family can be the tougher, but the rewards in the end are priceless. So awesome to see these stories. We're not the new generation, we're the regeneration
"The greatest fertilizer is the farmers hand and feet".
Socrates.
I've long believed that the best stockmen are women. I could be wrong about that but Carrie Richards helps persuade me that I'm not. Nice addition to the series.
Really good, we need to highlight this transition that thankfully more and more ranchers are making.
Loved the video.
The right way
Well done Carrie, leading by example is so much more effective, and, working WITH the family and co-workers encourages everyone to belong! All the best from the UK.
Absolutely amazing! Congratulations Richards Ranch 💕
That’s my brother!👍
Having been on the ranch a number of times, I can say it's absolutely thrilling to see the progress Richards Ranch has made (re)discovering a balanced approach that is allowing the land to heal itself from the inside out. The commitment the Carrie and Dan and extended family have made is an inspiration to all. I see three generations of family who's love and hard work pays dividends well beyond any paycheck. You are very fortunate to have such a special place to call home!
Such a great illustration of the process and the struggles when trying something new. You could see the struggles and challenges but also witness the victory when she was feeling the soil and seeing the worms! Thanks Kiss the Ground for another great film!
You are on the right track for the earths future. I while watched all the Utube video's from "Carbon Cowboys" 9 really worth watching. I was amazed & happy to see that you can teach old dogs new tricks. Your on the right track girl, cause when it comes to the environment it is all about the grass and always has been.. Thank you for been in my opinion a steward of the land..
well said!!
“right track … earths future”
Uh huh. The track being one w no ranches at all. Quite a plan for … a whole planet. Stalin, Putin, Mao have nothing on you planetary planners.
Carrie!!! What a great portrait of the Richard’s family - past, present and future!!!
The husband seems like such an amazing person! I hope yall succed with everything you’re doing.
Beautiful story! Change is hard, good luck 👍🏻🙂
I came across THE SAVORY INSTITUTE a few years back and I always wondered WHY does the Whole World not wake up and simply follow their example ??
Well done to you guys -- this is a beautiful story of FAITH, GUTS and HARD WORK !!!! EVERY other farmer who shows what Regenerative Agriculture has doe for them has a HUGE SMILE of satisfaction !!!! BRILLIANT -- KEEP IT UP - - - - -
We demand a part two with more Ruby the dog, Lincoln and Lucy!
Wow. Fighting for the things which is going to work out r not, but still we are trying...so true....good 24 mins after a long time, thank you guys for putting a lot and lot of efforts in presenting the cause in a beautiful way....
Completely overwhelming wonderful story and people....Iam beyond words to even describe how this affects and infects my spirit in a positive way...... beautiful.....
What an awesome family with such a great vision! I hope they will succeed.
It is so awesome that they let us customers in to see farm and family. These are exactly the kind of people I was hoping to find. I love meat and I also want to see that the cows are treated well, and that the land is used in a sustainable way (where possible). Carrie Richards, thank you for the work you and your family are doing. This is the kind of thing we need in this world.
Carrie is the boss! :)
18:47 take half leave half doesn't work unless the available nutrients and available water that determines palatability is Homogeneous throughout the land grazed. IT IS NEVER HOMOGENEOUS, meaning, it doesn't work. Lock down the heard to higher densities and move more often taking 80-90% of forage with a longer rest period afforded by taking a higher percentage of available forage and increasing the consumption of less palatable forages. Real Wealth Ranching LLC calls it total grazing, and it works. Daily or even multiple daily moves at ultra high density can accelerate the land and pasture improvement the fastest.
That is also what i have found through research. But now i’m going to investigate half half theory.
Loved hearing this story. Congratulations on a successful takeover of the family ranch.
Incredible, she is an inspiration for the next generation of farmers. I applaude her courage!
Its great what your doing. I hope more ranchers do it. LESS CHEMICALS.
Zero chemicals
Carrie you should tack it a step further and integrate permaculture swells into the land that will reward you with a truckload of water retention and growth
Great clip about what a wonderful person you are but how about some of the practicle things you are actually doing.
Just found yr channel. Cannot believe how much your area looks like Australia, but California i guess very similar to parts of AUS. My family also run cows, 2000 acres. How are you faring with the cost increases and assault on the farmers by the govt?? The govt is quietly attacking farmers here. The UN agenda dont want people on the land. God bless to you and yr family. Loved yr video, i can totally relate to yr situation. I hope you can get back to me.
Hopeful, inspiring and simply beautiful to see a return to stewardship of your land.
Absolutely incredible content. I hope to reach this level of video quality with my videos on this channel (Wild Primal)... thank you for what you do for the planet and for helping correct modern society's flawed food production system!
breathtaking feeling i love the drone shots
Great Video! Very inspirational! Im sure you've heard of him, but Joel Saletin with PolyFace farms does some great grazing plan and pasture management plans.
Bad ass on so many levels! Keep up the good. This story gives us all hope for a better tomorrow.
Great video! We love their beef. Truly enjoyed seeing the operation.
What a great story, thanks for sharing. It is always hard to have a difficult conversation with our elders who we grow up thinking they know every thing. Well done to your Dad who had the wisdom to let go of generations of farming and give you the reins. The Re-gen movement is exciting and soon will hit a tipping point. All thanks, to the early adopters and people with balls to buck a couple hundred years of new world farming . Great work (as hard as it is) Carrie and family.
people say bison is better, they won't overgraze, is that true?
Respect. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Denmark.
She’s amazing and an inspiration! ❤️
You guys are heroes!!!
What a beautiful family and ranch, and two absolutely adorable children!
Congratulations on your decision to get into regenerative agriculture. Smart move! It’s really the way to go.

You may have seen this, but a very good series I watched, by Gabe Brown, on RUclips, it’s titled: Treating the Farm as an Ecosystem with Gabe Brown, Part 1, The Five Tenets of Soil Health.
Gabe gets into the details of regenerative agriculture and also throws in some really really good humor! His story is amazing! I’ve watched his series twice and I’m not even a rancher or a farmer! 😂
For those ranchers AND farmers, who don’t think regenerative agriculture can be successful where they’re at, if Gabe Brown can do it in North Dakota, the state that has the record number of days below freezing, every year, it can be done in your ranch or farm. The key is to maximize profits, not yield. Gabe discusses this. Take notes.
“It’s really the way to go”
Are you are farmer or rancher, hand or owner, old school or new? Ag scientist?
History. Mystery. We love. Countryside places across the 🌏 We happy to see Back to Agriculture its reality. Good wishes love to stay " && visit there
Absolutely loved this short production and I can truly say that I am very inspired! Thank you so much for sharing your story and your mission. I hope to follow in the footsteps of amazing people like you and together we may all be able to make the changes and make a difference 😁
The Truth is so obvious when you see it, hear it, feel it. Glory…..
Love this video. Some of us are doing the right things.
Love this video and so grateful for Carrie her family and team for creating a ranch that will contribute to saving the world. And I don’t feel I’m exaggerating. 💕🇨🇦🐂🐄🐑
Keep doing what you're doing Carrie.
WHAT A WONDERFUL STROY AND GREAT JOB!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!
Beautiful setup. Love to see some pasture-raised hogs Incorporated. It looks like you got plenty of room
We’re looking forward to tuning in!
I just came across you RUclips video and I am amazed by your video, your family and you vision for your property. As a sixty nine year old female. I am so proud of you---YOU GO GIRL!!!!! I have only one suggestion, because I think you have done a GREAT job-- and that suggestion that you get a good quarter horse to help you move the cattle. A good horse will help you keep the end of the group together and moving.
Well Done Carrie .. it is often so hard for the older folk to change xxx
Such a great film!
How big is this ranch? wonderful.
6500 acres !!!!! Wow. It’s around the 18m30s mark
That's how I felt about our farms in Iowa that have been in our family for six generations. My mother, who is not a blood relation to the farms, has said I can't live on the property because it's a "working" farm. Well i'm in Idaho on a homestead now and will never live in Iowa. My Father is surely rolling in his grave. Bitter, you bet!
Thank you for all you do. God Bless you🙏🏼🇺🇸
Beautiful. And congratulations! Very well done
Great video. And I must say, her husband’s mustache is glorious
Nice Film/movie/vlog... So hard to take 1/2 and leave 1/2 when generally no rain May-Sept & regrowth has got to be slow. The rotation is method is lots easier mid-USA & to the east. Hats off to a great start.
Congratulations on taking the big step to a more healthy natural farm.
Looks really good. Looks to me you could Harvest some lumber from those trees. make more grass. Keep up the good work. God bless you.
My grandparents used to do this they would move if the cattle and they would move our chickens and they would move our pigs this is amazing that she's doing this like this God bless you from my family to yours you doing a great job
I applaud you for going forth with your dream....if you haven’t done this yet I recommend you look at Joel Salatin and his profitable ways of farming...🌺great job
Also Greg Judy at Green Pastures Farm!
Lovely story. Carrie is a hero.
thanks for your engagement....from Switzerland
Seem like they would benefit from livestock guard dogs & herding dogs. Good to see this important work.
Now get all that land back from Mr. G and regenerate it just the same as this brilliant family. This is the way, not by monoculture, or just planting plants/veggies. Humans need meat, beef has the most bioavailable nutrients that we all need to stay healthy. It makes me hopeful that this type of ranching will catch on. And I really do hope it happens quickly. Sometimes it feels like there are major players in politics, pharma and just multi-zillionairs trying to screw everything up for their own profits. Stay strong people, don’t let them do it!
What a shame her husband works for her not, with her , not my idea of a real marriage
Oh gosh obviously they are working for the same objectives but she’s the business owner and he has a paycheck. It’s just details. I work with my husband. I’m not going to tell you who’s who n the business hierarchy though.
Awesome guys!
Love the passion and drive this family / team have to health and wellness of our food and planet ❤️
Great job Carrie!!
So great to see this ! It takes a lot of courage to step outside the norm Great job Carrie and staff/ family 💚🌿 You are making the world a better healthier place 😊
Por favor!!!! Algunos necesitamos subtítulos en español!!!! Gracias!!! Increíbles imágenes!!!!
awesome all the way around!!!
Inspiring and refreshing!
We worked our cattle and sheep, within a market garden, you should try a couple of food crops, we hardly ever fed out
It’s hard to change old people set in their ways, I’m glad you’ve taken over and your father is understanding more.
I wouldn't say old farmers are set in there ways, they've spent years learning what works for their farm and what doesn't at least here in NZ, all the ones I know are very open to new ideas and tech but only adopt them if they work. I learnt the hard way when I took over the farm, coming out of agricultural college armed with all the latest ideas set about adopting the latest high producing grasses only to have them fail in the first drought , so no Dad wasn't set in his ways he'd just learnt what the farm could handle. All young people have to learn by their mistakes ( I made enough of them). I think it's better to evolve your farming systems as you go rather than jump to something completely new and unproven.
Can’t wait ❤️❤️
Wow, this is great! Way to go Carrie and family!
So cool that Adam Driver is your husband! :) loved this video your soil looks awesome, I bet those are very happy cows
Whoever produced, made this film, has an artists eye and a beautiful heart too. They make it look so easy, and to be honest, with these folks and that land...
Carrie awesome job
Go regen,go covers,mob grazing. Keep roots in the soil . Tramped covers keep soil tempeature down, reduces evaporation and irrigation. No chemicals. Go gal.
I ❤ this story. My grandfather was a farmer. He had 12 children and lots of descendants. Not a single one has taken up farming. I hope young generations will learn regenerative farmer and change our world for the better.
How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
What a pairing. Gives us older folks a lot of hope for the future generations.
Great Video! "Who are you Guys"? Love that Quote. Really Well done Documentary! Entertaining and Informative!
Great film, now let’s elect Kennedy who will support these farmers and stop subsidies for big ag.
Great job taking the baton from your father & listening to your intuition that it was time to go home. 👏🏽
Seems you guy's are on the right track. Great to see the worm activity in the soil. Another good thing which helps with all that cow manure are Dung beetle colonies, they really drag the shit down underground. Was I right in hearing that you haven't utilized all the land at this stage?
Have you come across permaculture and water harvesting (ponds, swales, etc) techniques yet?
Amazing!
Amazing👍😊
Man i grew up ranching and farming ... left it all behind for the city lights . F@#Q was that a mistake miss it everyday .
