These farmers make perfect sense and if you think about it Common sense. It’s how farms flourished before the Government and corporations took over at the beginning of the 1900’s, its how nature made these lands so fertile before mankind damaged it. Keep up the good work.
The government had nothing to do with this. Farmers over farmed their land and depleted the soil their for fertilizer. They used to deep till every year too. Now it's no till drill to put seed in the ground. Keeps your top soil from blowing away . Farmers thought heavy fertilizer and insecticide would produce bigger crops for bigger money. Don't get me wrong the smartest people I know don't have a college degree they are Farmers. They all buy crop insurance too so if the crop fails your tax money will pay them to keep them from going bankrupt. But let's get something straight. Very little crop land is owned by grandpa. Corporations and people like Bill Gates are the largest crop land owners in the USA now days.
I dumped conventional rice farming last year and tripled my ROI….Ain’t going back! The rancher is 100% correct. Blowing money on all that stuff is exactly what they want you to do. When you figure out that the juice ain’t worth the squeeze, you start winning.
My family has owned 500 acres in Iowa for decades my grandfather bought it long sgo. The earth was so rich its called gumbo hill. He rotated crops refused to use fertilizer did it the old school way. He believed in not striping the soil but to let it go to pasture every third year. Sadly my sister somehow got the entire farm cash rents it out and those practices stopped dead in their tracks. Fact is yes you might get high volume off your land or corn or soybeans but it cant sustain it long term as you strip the nutrition try to replace it eith harmful chemicals disgused as fertilizer. My grandpa never believed in pestacides either for the same reasons as fertilizer.
Farming is a business and a big one at that. Individual farmers just want to stay in business, make a decent living, and they mostly love their work. If that means changing up their thinking, to keep the land that sustains us all, healthy and viable, I am confident that is what they will do. When the corn seed we plant is blue, and the end product has no real taste, as is also true for many other food products, it is at least worth looking at.
Guys I have 20 acres what would you tell me to do. I’ve been pasturing 10 horses on it and I’m wondering should I switch to cattle. The horses have been on here for 3 years and the grass has gotten taller. Do you think the horses are ok or would cattle be better. Land is rested for 6 months of the year.
A little sense, a full grown cow shits almost as much as he eats, calves eat to grow. Rotating pastures lets manure break down, each animal replaced is costing you nutrients. We used to put bones and unused meat or guts back in the ground. Now gov wont let us recycle, it has to be rendered or put in landfill.
Our farmers, ranchers and fisherman plus the truckers that deliver your food all being attacked worldwide by the govt, corp and wef. We need to protect our food provider and we need to learn to grow food.
Well said,I totally agree.I spend my money with the small family farmer whenever that option is available .Better for your health,better for the land and wildlife. Yes,it might cost more ,but cut out junk/processed foods and it balances out the food budget. I would rather support these independent farmers than corporations
Oh I see now. I wondered why you all were just discovering the way we did it in the 40s and 50s when I was a kid. It’s the mega company advertising that hooked you in to doing it the expensive way.
Prairies tall or grazed to nothing hold very little water or carbon. But at 4 to 20 inches can hold tons of carbon and water. God new what he was doing. American Indians ate steak PERFECT

@makisp.1428 they have a gas-powered bailer, tractors etc, some of those things are motors pulled by mules others are not it depends on the order they are from. One thing is for sure our water ways etc need help and our Amish would do it if they had the knowledge
The Amish do use manure,sometimes massive amounts of cow manure mixed with pig and chicken. When that is sprayed as a concentration, the nitrate runoff in our water ways is bad. I would love to see a better, more profitable way for every aspect, because don't get it twisted the Amish love money
Bayer/Monsanto where you at?? You have spewing BS against the truth for days now. Tired of getting your butt handed to you? This is the way of the future.
The Ag industry is the same as our healthcare system. They want you on those maintenance meds the same way they want your land to need all the unnecessary fertilizer/herbicides/pesticides
Love this. Are they trying this overseas? After seeing those people die of starvation because their govt took away fertilizer wonder if they could do this too.
@MarkH10 Again, you missed the point. Soil produces when it lies fallow, yes. Bare dirt, or dirt growing the heartiest weeds, is all most farmers have after killing the soil with synthetic chemicals. There is no biome in most US pastures which God created to do such a thing!
Either every conventional farmer 250 years is too stupid to have figured this out or these few people are the smartest people in agricuture in 250 years. I dont think either is true.
@@MrBurney12 Of course, but the whole point of AMP grazing is high cattle density for short durations and letting the land grow back for long durations. Over time as soil conditions improve the grass will grow back even quicker allowing for shorter rest times of paddocks. I really hope more farmers adopt these practices. If you live an area with historically native grasslands, then you don’t need to raise fewer animals or have more land to do this effectively.
Standard practice is 1,000 lbs of ruminant per acre per year. This can go up or down based on the productivity of your specific field. One could measure how much dry weight is produced on their farm by mowing a small area, then returning in 30 days to again harvest 1 sq ft of property and weighing the forage. Assume you get that much weight per month for each growing season month. The average ruminant eats 2% of its body weight per day. From there, it’s basic algebra.
@@bronzearmy2645 basically 1 animal per acre per year then assuming a grass fed/finished weighs less than their counterpart grain finished. Thank you for the response
Thanks for sharing 🙂
God bless you!
We need more of these farmers. Much respect to them.
Great name for a town
This is why they're going after the farmers; they figured out the game and the government is pissed!
I live in the city next to boaz and we have some GREAT farmers around here
Grass fed beef is healthiet, happier and the meat is exponentially more nutritios.
This is what us as consumers need from farmers. Don’t waste your money poisoning your own land and my food.
THIS is why farming is suddenly a threat to the environment...it cuts Monsanto's profits.

Honestly this is even more efficient than it was back then. This is based on science and research. Its a process and a documented system.
The government had nothing to do with this.

The feedlot guys are having a fit trying to say regenerative grazing dont work 😂
That's like plastic bags when we had good old paper that was recyclable and biodegradable

In a world gone crazy this is such good news to hear, farmers embracing, regenerative farming.
Love this!! More and more ranchers are talking about this-the message is getting out there!!
And you don't poison the animals or the ground!!!

FARMERS FIRST

Me too but finding help out there is tough
@@LReno-di9cm yes it is no one it seems wants to respond to help others. Do you have horses on your land.or cattle? thanks

Protect our FARMS
Protect our FOOD
Our farmers, ranchers and fisherman plus the truckers that deliver your food all being attacked worldwide by the govt, corp and wef. We need to protect our food provider and we need to learn to grow food.

Saving money is great but how about the farmer's health? That's money he's not giving the medical industrial complex.
The Bible says rotate crops
Where can i learn about this? Please.
Its also better for our environment.
When the fascist state is fully in place you will be ordered to use Monsanto products.
Amen Guys
This is one smart farmer, if we could just get the rest of them to follow.
The govt corp and wef want to shut down farms and destroy their cattle. Cattle can help the land and is a food source.
Farmers, ranchers and fisherman plus the truckers that deliver your food all being attacked worldwide by the govt, corp and wef. We need to protect our food provider and we need to learn to grow food.
He's right to
A dollar spent or loss is a dollar you never get back
May thr word spread and transform the whole industry
Keep it up
Pennsylvania needs to convince the Amish, there's money to be saved and made.
Are you saying that the Amish use modern farming tools and chemicals?
@makisp.1428 they have a gas-powered bailer, tractors etc, some of those things are motors pulled by mules others are not it depends on the order they are from. One thing is for sure our water ways etc need help and our Amish would do it if they had the knowledge
Don't the Amish use their manure to fertilize their fields? And they practice crop rotation afaIk.
The Amish do use manure,sometimes massive amounts of cow manure mixed with pig and chicken. When that is sprayed as a concentration, the nitrate runoff in our water ways is bad. I would love to see a better, more profitable way for every aspect, because don't get it twisted the Amish love money
So he's just saying that fallowing beats the agricultural revolution ???
Bayer/Monsanto where you at?? You have spewing BS against the truth for days now. Tired of getting your butt handed to you? This is the way of the future.
You need a lot of land to rotate that much.
Please tell me what AMP is?
That's an extra dollar for tax man
How could this work for dairy farms?
The Ag industry is the same as our healthcare system. They want you on those maintenance meds the same way they want your land to need all the unnecessary fertilizer/herbicides/pesticides
Where in Boaz ?
Love this. Are they trying this overseas? After seeing those people die of starvation because their govt took away fertilizer wonder if they could do this too.
❤
Not profit for them it ain't. 😂 that's why they are now saying "you will own nothing and be happy."
Look how old they are and they have been doing rotation for only 17 years.obviously Americans haven’t been looking at other country farming habits.sad
AMP?
COMFREY
I would love to hear a stone fruit I'm program. Agronomy is a joke.
🎉
Is God an Agronomist….?
OR, ..........or you could just do what God told us. Each 7th year give the ground a fallow year, and let it recover. It is called The Sabbath.
Resting bare dirt won't do anything good. You missed the point.
@@lynnmac6494 fallow and resting are two different things. The dirt produces and all it makes goes right back in and the next crop starts from there.
@MarkH10 Again, you missed the point. Soil produces when it lies fallow, yes. Bare dirt, or dirt growing the heartiest weeds, is all most farmers have after killing the soil with synthetic chemicals. There is no biome in most US pastures which God created to do such a thing!
Just change your first word "OR" to "&" doing both
Either every conventional farmer 250 years is too stupid to have figured this out or these few people are the smartest people in agricuture in 250 years. I dont think either is true.
The issues only came about due to the long term usage of industrial ammonium nitrate fertilizing.
This stuff works theres no doubt but you have to be okay with raising fewer animals or doubling your acres.
@@MrBurney12 I think part of the point of rotational grazing is more animals confined to a smaller than a usual area.
@@timmartin9673 You still have to pay attention to the total carrying capacity of your pasture no matter how much area you limit them to at one time.
@@MrBurney12 Of course, but the whole point of AMP grazing is high cattle density for short durations and letting the land grow back for long durations.

If you live an area with historically native grasslands, then you don’t need to raise fewer animals or have more land to do this effectively.
What is the ratio of cattle to acres? What is the smallest amount ❤land this could be utilized on?
I would think that would depend on how often the farmer rotates the herds through every foot of the land.
