- Sustainable Farming and Ranching in a Hotter, Drier Climate presentation By Gabe Brown was done at the 2017 AERI Expo held in Butte Montana.
AERO’s programming is grounded in the conviction that communities are the best place to create the kind of change we envision. We believe, and our programs reflect, that the best way to effect change is by empowering people in their own communities to work towards sustainable solutions. aeromt.org/

Thanks for watching!
I'm in church. Awesome video. Spreading the message.
Every farmer that takes a check from the government should be required to watch this series first.
This is a man with a true scientific mind.
Not just a scientific mind but he is blessed with common sense!
@@churchvideo I have just thought about that and you're absolutely right!
WONDERFUL PRESENTATION.
THE ANSWER TO FEED THE WORLD WITH HEALTHY FOOD AND PROFIT TO THE PRODUCER.
Agrarian Food Web- Fantastic information and knowledge on how to farm to increase healthier soils and food.
Excellent content. About to get your book too. Living in Australia and hoping to be able to get our own farm. This is the model I wish to follow - makes a lot of sense and I come from a non farming background.
Thanks for posting this video. Very interesting presentation by Gabe Brown!
Another issue isn’t just fungi. I think a study I read said something like if there were nutrients k or s or something in the ground the root of the plant wouldn’t mesh with fungi, but if there were no nutrients then the roots would mesh with the fungi. So nutrients dictate if roots merge with fungi or not. And there has been studies showing what plants benefit from what type of fungi. Maybe it’s still new but gardeners are using one type of fungi. And pine trees use different fungi then tomatoes. And blue berries I believe only form a symbiotic relationship with one fungi and beets and other plants the roots don’t merge or use fungi.
Do you have a problem with Prussic acid poisoning from sorghum Sudan cross crop
Do cover crops have any place in permanent pasture dairy farm
Have you heard of the 12 April's Dairy system here on RUclips?
You can have perennial plants. You need a lot of variety. The key is moving the cows around on the land in paddocks. You're allowing the other parts to rest.
What about if the year rainfall is about 20 inches from September to February and from March to September no rain at all how do we grow summer crops with out water?
Keep the soil covered during the rainy season then during the dry season that cover will keep the moisture in and keep the temperatures cool enough for things to sprout and grow. Running some sort of livestock in high density through the area that graze on the grasses and forbs will give you moisture in the form of dung and urine in the dry times as well.
I live in the island of Crete the southern part of Greece just above Africa, olive trees are our main cultivation and vineyards as secondary. We have rainfall only from September to February sometimes and March none knows about no till grills how can I apply all these you say? We have many small peaces of land in deferent places like 1/10 or 2/10 of an ectar bigger is 4/10 of an ectar I can not find a way to apply all these
Apply the soil health principles - 1) armor on the soil with mulch/plant matter/compost - no bare dirt showing anywhere. 2) reduce disturbance with chemicals, tillage, insecticides and herbicides. 3) increase diversity of plants, insects, native animals. 4) keep a living root in the soil for as many months of the year as possible. 5) incorporate livestock (perhaps a movable chicken coop or a moveable sheep pen).
@@leelindsay5618 Thank you for your information I will try to apply all these with the minimum tillage until I find a no till drill because here there isn't any. I need a very small one to plant between olive trees and vineyards
@@Nikolasmar We're from Levkatha! With Gabe Brown's methods, rainfall infiltration will increase. This will carry you through the summers eventually, but in the interim you can irrigate as needed. If Greece could apply Gabe Brown's principles more widely, the wild fires should diminish. Healthier soil holds many times more water.
@@Nikolasmar Also, see the video "Small Scale No-Till Methods for the Market Garden"
@@dr.timothypatitsas7889Hello, thanks for the reply , you mean Levkatha Greece?

Polycultures make sense. But let’s say you’re not growing for cows but in your garden. Is it good to grow oats with beets? I’ve not weeded my garden and have oats with beets. But will they out compete or crowd out the beets? In some parts it’s super noticeable that the grass is 12 inches tall and you can’t see the beets underneath. In other parts beets and oats are the same height. But so far I’m unconvinced that monocultures are bad. My beets this year with oats aren’t growing as tall as when in the past I just grew beets and I weeded. I guess I’ll see in September what the final results are. It’s still a toss up. Sure the oats are providing shade but in some parts the oats are so tall you can’t see the beets at all.
No Till Growers RUclips channel has an interview with Gabe where they talk about growing vegetables. It was very informative.
