Where’s The Beef in the COVID-19 World?
COVID-19 has caused enormous disruption in the conventional beef supply chain of North America. Large meat packing houses have been forced to shut down due to the spread of the coronavirus among employees. The chickens, cattle, pigs and poultry that were scheduled to be processed are stuck outside the packing houses - and untold millions of them will have to be killed and buried causing horrendous misery for the farmers.
On the flip side, the farmers who are practicing regenerative grazing, and who are selling directly to their customers (or who are just in the past month selling directly to their customers) are posting incredible sales figures, 300-1000% higher than this same time last year. Many are selling out of their meats months ahead of schedule.
Why are they selling out while the grocery stores nearby still have plenty of meat? Health. Their customers know that many of the people who died from COVID-19 had pre-existing conditions. People are coming to realize that eating healthy food makes them healthier, and more resilient to COVID-19.
Could these regenerative farmers be laying the groundwork for the future of the meat supply chain, with more resilience due to more distributed and local production?
Join director Peter Byck as Ag industry veterans Allen Williams, Gabe Brown and Will Harris join filmmaker Peter Byck in a deep dive, to find out, where, truly, is the beef?
I’m in the desert of West Texas. Just got dairy goats last year and have been walking them around to graze and setting up day long paddocks on my 3 acre homestead. I’ve lived here 30 years and I’m already seeing more biodiversity and grasses coming back after our recent rains. Thank you for all that yall are doing. We are looking to buy more property and plan to incorporate rotational grazing there as well.
Digging swales?
These gentlemen have really changed my life and the way I run my farm. I have owned cattle since I got a USDA youth loan my senior year of high school. I started selling directly to consumers about three years ago. I ran across a video of Allen Williams explaining regenerative grazing last year then got hooked on watching him and Gabe Brown videos. I started moving my herd daily on my small farm in Mississippi can already see a difference and can't wait to see the long term affects. I really appreciate what y'all do for the farmer.
That sounds fantastic, Main Farms! Best of luck with your work!
This was 3 years ago take some video I'm sure you have video from before too throw it on RUclips. The more who see the better and some people need someone with their accent
Yeah man, I’m in Mississippi too. Where are you located? I’m in the Jackson Metro area
I love the thought of rural life coming alive again. It is true in somethings that old is better. Like old homes, old furniture and old ways. Pride in one’s work to be the best, please come back.
My husband and I are farm kids who''ve been living in the city for a long time in a subdivision. Now we built a new house out on an island in the San Juans - PNW. I found a Gabe video just as we were putting our garden in. It's postage stamp sized which makes us sheepish trying to grow things. But this regenerative movement I'm learning about isn't about size or scale. It is about healthy soil and healthy bodies. Because this video with the 4 of you is current after months of COVID19 shut down, fear, control, politics, despair and hopelessness all around us.....at the end of this video I sat with my head in my hands and just sobbed. And my heart filled with hope again for us and for our world, for our future - personally and collectively. Blessings to all. Thank you so much. What a gift. What a lift. What a light you shine. Light always puts out darkness.
lovely Kathleen. wait til u see the rest of the films ~ heart abounds. so uplifting
Indian farmers are severely affected by suicide records after NGOs got together with petroleum based chemical companies and GMO seed companies and told farmers “this is what you have to do”.
Thanks so much for your film.
I was just reading through the comments to see if anyone had mentioned the Indian suicide problem. Thanks for being aware. 😊
I had the same thought.
...the ""new normal" is going to be nightmarish.
My son in law and daughter just purchased his former dairy cattle family farm, and are beginning a beef cattle operation. I will show them the videos pertaining to your principles!
Have them watch Joel Salatin and Greg Judy and research timeless fencing as well ( all on you tube ) will change their way of raising cattle and have books and decades of experience doing this
Thank God this idea is finally spreading! I first heard about this years ago when researching organic foods and 6:15 found Joel Salatin and Polyface Farm in Swoop Virginia who has been doing this for a long time. And I realized why in the world would a farmer ever have to buy fertilizer when it’s coming out of the back of a cow? Healthy soil is the answers! Amen!
These men will be remembered in History as saviours of our mother earth, the soil.
Yes 💚🌎🙏
They learned it from Allan Savory
@@jonniricard7460 We ALL stand on the shoulders of the giants that preceded us.
I’ve shared all of the Carbon Cowboy movies with friends and family. Our nation’s well being begins with the soil and the people who understand it. I wish every schoolchild could see some of these movies. They’ve been fed so many lies and half truths about farmers and cows; the people need to see and hear the truth from the root of the tree.
Off my soapbox now. 😊
💚🙏🌎
I truly support the idea of teaching our children how to eat for ultimate health. I was a high school teacher and had to teach according to the MyPlate standards. I had students share they had a variety of digestive problems.
When you can be truly proud of what you do, knowing you're making a healthy product and making the ecosystems healthier, you're going to be a happier human.
As a recent carnivore diet adoptee and homestead/farmer to be, these guys have opened my mind! All the pieces begin to come together for this world.
Allen on Supply Chain Rebuilding
Bringing production closer to the consumer is true in food to automobiles.
Our Momma's never wanted to hear "ya...but" let's keep our minds open to new wisdom. We are never too old to learn a new concept.
Three of my hero's, LOVE IT!
My wife and I moved out to the country. I soon learned that living in the city is much healthier. The industrial agriculture model has destroyed the countryside. I am very close to a confined hog operation. The fields are tilled and fed glyphosate and neonictitiods. Just imagine being surrounded by regenerative farms! Paradise compared to this.
Amen.
People are moving to the forest in the hillsxaround my parents and destroying everything and planting one tree on their land. Literally gutting our forest
Thought provoking conversation. So much to learn about how to farm with nature. 👍
I just watched all of the film paddocks. Well worth the time.
"These are the principles of nature." Thank you Peter for bringing this together! Thank you gentlemen, my hat's off to y'all
We have no farms but these videos have led us to Mr. Tallamy and we have rethought the planting of our 3 properties-some urban
This is relevant for anywhere in the world.
If your focus is on water wildlife, sea creatures, SOIL HEALTH IS PARAMOUNT!
@@Mamafish68 yes! Poor soil health means bad runoff into our waters.
Thank you all! I shared this video on my Facebook Feed!
I ran across your site and these videos. I hope your still active because I've been sending clips and info to my family members still involved in ranching / farming. I love your work Mr. Byck!
I have life in Indonesia, in Indonesia the problem is corporate take 80% the land, so people of Indonesia don't have power to control soil health for better ecology.
🥺
Legends
Love it.
By the way, Ancel Benjamin Keys was American not European, you can't blame us for him :)
I love these guys. They're making everything better for all of us.
BRAVO everyone! I have watched all of your Carbon Cowboy episodes and I think they are excellent in content and cinematically. I only wish these videos had hundreds of millions of views and that the demand presented the need for production in multiple languages. I'd like to share an idea that I believe would help you multiply your message exponentially but I am not sure how to reach you. Are you on LinkedIn?
Hi Steve, thanks so much for your comments and wanting to share ideas to get the word out! You can reach us at info@carboncowboys.org. Look forward to hearing from you!
Mr Harris shaking his head at the idea of ND being God's country is hilarious 😂😂😂
time for a new video guys!!
Will saying "we aspire to be gabe brown" hahahahahahahahaha! Awesome.
Just finished Roots So Deep. Wow. I am a 43 yr old city dwelling, IT guy, but this knowledge has me asking, "Could I be a farmer?"
Inspiring hope, backed by evidence and the output to show it works. Real world Avengers superheroes 😁👍🏼
You guys are hysterical! Everyone aspires to be Gabe Brown.
These heroes need to be invited to the whitehouse, to meet the president and spread their message .
Not this present pres! He wants to destroy us
Gabe and Allen are my heros Will is growing on me👍
Thank you for putting this information together and helping to spread the regenerative agriculture message.
Thank you for watching! If you haven't yet, be sure to watch our latest docuseries Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there) now streaming at rootssodeep.org !
God bless each and every one of you! Happy treehugger here…
I agree with Gabe. I get up from the super table and go to the fridge and look in there for something else to eat. I think there is so little nutritional value that our bodies are still needing nutrients!!
That was *_AMAZING!_*
Thanks, subscribed, and intend to watch the Carbon Cowboys film.
My only slight issue with what you're doing, is that you're accepting _(what I consider to be a false underlying premiss)_ that CO2 is too high and must be reduced to "save the planet".
Love what you're doing in all other ways 🙏
Damn i want to be a farmer now
Love these videos! Please keep making them!!
@Carbon Cowboys
Thanks so much for this video. Have you looked at the output of meat per ha in the regenerative model with stacked enterprizes etc vs industrial models of corn and soy feeding animals in CAFO's.
And factoring in allocated and unallocated ('hidden / denied') costs to the models.
Peter, have you ever spoke to the ranchers in the Big Sandy NRCD up here in Mohave County?
All of your thoughts are spectacular, but, the big boys won't let you play. They (farm equipment/fertilizer lobbyists) will squash all of your efforts to get the message out.
Gabe should know best because he is up against a short growing season and brutal cold winters
There use to be laws limiting the size of Big Business . Not against business just limiting the size. Looked up Ancel Keyes in Wik , very disturbing character.
34:46 nutritional pyramid; also meat played up and beans played down.
36:40 tools; subsidies regulations, (later added commoditization).
subsidize soil health, polyculultures, and decrease industrialization.
42:35 go back to think of farms as ecosystems. By thinking of farms as food factories, the reductive mindset has brought about the demise of our health & resilience.
I'm married to Neil Dennis's niece, and we have a very small farm in Saskatchewan Canada . Very cool to be apart of this movement
Doesn’t the percentage organic content in the soil where the crops are grown directly correlate to the nutrient content in the food? Couldn’t food be labelled as a legal requirement with this information? How much organic content in the soil where the food is grown? On supermarket shelves etc?
I want to grow food and I’m 64years old
Can someone post their IG if they have some. Would love to follow their pages to learn
So I wonder if the train and truck chemicals spills were a part of harming the soil to aquire the land
Obviously not
So the fertilizer companies are or will be soon kaput?🎉
👍👍
Does anybody know why the meat shortage didn't actually turn out happening?
Because Trump invoked the Defence Protection Act which forced/ enabled slaughterhouses to stay open irrespective of the health of its employees. It meant that slaughterhouses became exempt from any safety guidelines around Covid that might have protected workers. It didn’t matter how many got sick in a plant the plant would stay open and it would just hire more staff to replace to people who had got sick.
✌️💜💜💜
I appreciate you gentlemen and what u stand for. But I don't agree at all with any new normal and the restrictions those that did and are doing the public human experiments want for us. Locally sourced foods awareness is a good ( and probably unexpected by those seeking more control over us) thing and I hope many many more start meeting and buying Locally sourced foods.
"Yeah butt" is a stinky subject!
Plus…I don’t like how Byck took money from McDonald’s…it just doesn’t sit well with me. I’m a supporter of AMP, just not these people.
I'm sure you know them all well.
@@oldchunkofcoal2774 I didn’t say that, I just stated I didn’t like what they have presented thus far…fu$& you.😘
Gabe brown is no gentleman…yuck person. I’m starting to not be a fan of Peter Byck because he’s so associated with him…I only appreciate Will Harris.
There is much less to Gabe Brown that meets the eye.
Pardon?
Gabe's been dieting?
@@vivalaleta No, his claims don't match the evidence.
@@DukeGMOLOL WHAT claims don't match WHAT evidence?
@@DukeGMOLOLFalse.
