Good on you for putting this on. Salatin isn't a university academic. A real farmer who turned a terrible plot of land into a successfully productive farm. I listen to him, as a former rancher myself, and he "resonates" in me. A kind heart and already did the work himself. Great stuff !
Bobby Kennedy has promoted this for a long time and has now joined ranks with Donald Trump to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA). They have approached Thomas Massie and Joel Salatin to assist in their endeavor. These are very exciting times.
I work for USDA, and I used to be a County Extension Agent. I really respect Joel Salatin... I'm hopeful. We'll see what comes from his insights. Many people within the various agencies love his concepts. USDA is no different than any other departments though it's run by the people it seeks to "regulate", so change is quite difficult 👍
Our County Extension office in my county seems to be winding down - I have to make an appointment to get my canner gauge tested now (they have to send them out!) and email with any gardening/pest/plant ID questions. Do they just not have the staff anymore? Or are these things truly just not as active?
@abarn9541 That's possible... The Extension program is run by each state's Land Grant University, so it really depends on how much financial support they get from your state's legislature. In Georgia we have a very strong extension presence in each county, though neighboring states have gone to Area Agents for many things due to cuts in budgets.
@@benjaminshirley It always surprised me, because we have a strong Amish population in the area. Thank you for your answer - perhaps I should talk to my state congress reps to see about getting them more funding, or at the very least find out what is their issue.
That's exciting to hear! I'm wondering where you are that 'new' (old!) methods that are no longer mainstream are being used.... I'm going to venture a guess and say Washington or Vermont?🤔
@branwen8009 Actually, 😅 this may come as a surprise but Georgia... On the Florida line. They plant their crops using strip tillage into rye. Reduces the need for herbicides, and allows for a living crop all year! 👍😊
It’s time for the caring and loving Americans to unite together. We cannot let greedy billionaires, corporations and other countries totally control our food supply.
Another advisor to the Department of Agriculture should be Indiana Farmer Rick Clark, He farms 3,000 acres which He is converting his farm and finds common ground With Regenerative Agriculture
If he's listened to, this will be good news. I'm so skeptical of the money-driven system's willingness to change. Would absolutely love to be wrong in that skepticism.
I am strongly in favor of crop rotation, organic farming, and so forth. However, a few years ago, the Sri Lankan government tried to switch to organic farming overnight; this led to a mass crop failure, which led to regime change. My question then is how the federal government could promote good practices without causing more harm than good in the short term? I'm not asking in a hostile spirit, BTW. I'm just concerned while hopeful.
@@instargardens We already have plenty of examples of formerly synthetically fertilized farms turned certified organic / regenerative, we know how long it takes and with proper techniques we can supercharge the soil microbiome with EM (Effective Microorganisms) to make it happen ASAP. Salatin surely knows the best practices when it comes to this so we're in trustworthy and capable hands.
This makes so incredibly happy...and hopeful! I've been following Joel & implementing many of his practices for 30yrs. The only other person that we need now is Michael Pollan! He, Joel, and RFK would be an unstoppable, knowledgeable team that would absolutely save our small farms, & advocate for 'new' (old) farming methods that produce organic, 10:42 nutrient dense food. Those methods would mean healthy happy, farm animals, farmers and Americans! I hope that Joel and RFK are given free reign to make the changes that America and her farmers need!(Me? Excited? If ever there was a time for a dancing cow emoji, this is it!!! 😹💓🐄🐷🐥🫛🥦🥔🥕💓)
@@Gaias.Garden it all depends on individual land plots and microclimates, but after reading his book and practicing it to as much of a degree as I can, I would estimate enough to feed a large family and run a profitable business ❤️ I’m sure he could break this down much better than I!
@@instargardensnice. I’m curious to compare it to other forms of farming. For example I know sunchokes can grow 20,000-60,000lbs per acre of 15 million calories per acre. That's enough to feed 15-20 people for an entire year on a single acre each year on perennials that don't need to be replanted or tended to or even really watered. The Irish survived on them before potatoes were introduced as well. They also make good animal feed. But curious how it compares to cows or pigs or chickens.
@ perennials are incredible food sources! But even the Irish have depended on grass fed butter, sheep and other animal fats. Without fat, we would starve. This is where animal regenerative agriculture comes in. Perennials and all plants need nutrition too; hence, animal manure 💩
@@instargardens I'm not American, I don't live in the United States, I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat. I am, however, an advocate of permaculture and healthy living. I study all the mechanisms that are destroying agriculture. It's a worldwide phenomenon! This destruction is programmed under Agenda21. Watch Rosa Koire's videos - I assume you're familiar with this remarkable American woman who died in 2021. So, to return to the subject of our dialogue, if you think that Trump, who has hired Susie Wiles, a representative of the pharmaceutical lobby and the agri-food industry, is going to protect healthy food, I'm sorry to tell you, but you're dreaming! When you hear about the tokenization of agriculture, take a step back, but it will probably be too late. Right now, all their speeches (RFK Jr is good at this) are designed to put people to sleep, to reduce critical thinking to zero.
@ what is Wile’s connection to Pharma? Can’t seem to find that, just her long history of political involvement. I’m not interested in believing anyone will save us. But it’s very exciting for those in permaculture and holistic health to have RFK, Joel Salatin, Thomas Massey in the administration pushing for regenerative farming, removal of Flouride and seed oils, and transparency from Pharma. These are just steps we can hope for, without falling into the mindset that anyone out there will save us but ourselves.
@@intuition7228 Sorry but RFK Jr. is on your/our side - permaculture, healthy living, not poisoning our food. Dude's been taking on corporate corruption for years and has proven trustworthy; if you think his speeches are designed to put people to sleep you're not listening, people are excited for this and for good reason. Shun the non-believers!
Joel Salatin needs to go BACK on the Joe Rogan podcast! He’s been on once, NOW is definitely the time for a return. Americans have no fucking idea how big a deal this is!
Dude! How is this not major news and how am I just hearing about this??? Love this guy and have been reading his books and following him for years.
Good on you for putting this on.

Thank GOD we made the right choice last week
I am Sooo glad USA Big Ag is being adressed! I have visited Polyfarm a couple times & read his books. Real deal.
I hadn’t heard of this guy, but I’m excited to look more into him. I’m glad Trumps has appointed smart experts in their industries.
Great video! Let's Make America Healthy Again!

This news literally made me cry…tears of joy.
Wonderful! I read about him a couple of years ago. Thomas Massie is also my hero.
@@rraborn he sounds great!!!
P.S.
It says a lot about Trump that he brings him on-board....
If you have been awake about the state of our food, the you know about Salatin. It's been 24 years since I have known about him.
MAHA baby❤
Thomas Massie for Sec of AG...Joel Salatin should be advisor for sure!
Soil must be rehabilitated slowly to restore its microbiome after years of nitrogen feeding.
@@rraborn yes!! I hope this is the beginning of that journey widespread!
That is so awesome 😊
This is exciting to me, and I googled it, it is in the news for those who don't think it is a thing.
😁 I'm so excited about this I can't stop smiling 😆
any effort is welcome and better than what we have.
Enjoyed this, really is big news, so much good in-coming!
Truly historical
I am so excited!
This is huge news
Regenerative AG and Hemp is the future
This is such amazing news. I hope they will implement that on a super large scale. This could solve tonns of problems
Exciting times indeed!
Thank you so much for this awesome book review! It is exactly what I need to build my village!
I will say, goats will graze. Mine do :)
Btw the county I worked in as a County Agent has been doing conservation tillage for thirty years or so... Way ahead of many places in America.
That's exciting to hear! I'm wondering where you are that 'new' (old!) methods that are no longer mainstream are being used.... I'm going to venture a guess and say Washington or Vermont?🤔

How many lbs of food per acre can you produce with this method?

Regenerative agriculture methods typically produce similar yields to conventional.

Considering western ag is a grossly wasteful, over producing-to-fucking-junk, the yield is suitable,
No way!!!!
