Los 6 principios de la salud del suelo, Presentando Fernando Falomir
Why always show good, old Gabe in the photo?
I'm helping to build a UHDMG system in Oklahoma. Fernando is a stellar guy and has very generously given me some good tips in correspondence. He deeply understands the connection of livestock and ecosystem function
Ian Mitchell Ines told me to put bales and hay out in the sage brush and the cows will do the rest.
Someone here mentioned the curse buster - how about this approach? Sounds like the right thing in its promo vids. But then again - all do.
Please explain carbon sequestration. First define the term. I familiar with carbon on periodic table in chemistry 301, 302 and around 15 semster hours I paid for in college and high school majoring in pre vet med curriculum and then food science chemistry option. Have not gotten a practical definition on this sequestration word. Thank you.. Dennis
Wow! 12ft maybe
I tried to take pix of your tall grass bluestem. Which county and state you growing it. Dennis Pottawatomie County
That’s wheat. Some trials on soy & corn, drone seeding or interdrilling post plant, etc. would be helpful. Agree, this has gotta be the future, and I’m hopeful for it! Good Work!
Enjoy yalls videos! Videos more frequently please!
Hi Luke, Do you have any drone footage to show an aerial view of the different treatments you did? Thank you!
Great info as always. Keeps me thinking and grazing better. 6.3.4
Oh ya super easy and cost efficient. Like everyone else i also have tons of extra time to grow food. I imagine if i plant something and my kids are hungry it would take what 3 maybe 4 days to harvest produce. They will be cool with that for sure. Plus where i live we can only water gardens once a week after may to September so should be good with naturally drought resistant plants. If you could just put the amount of time, money, stability of the harvest for the rest of the year so i can have food all year round without having everything go rotten, i am all ears. Theres tons we SHOULD do, but what can we actually do with the constraints on life currently. Everyone talks but no one has a plan that is viable. But it cant get any worst right?..... right?😞
Start lookin at the glass half full. What works for you doesn’t work for me probably. But the principle is the same. I believe the guy speaking has a garden with only 10-12 inches a rain per year and does it on a commercial scale. I doubt as large as their garden is they are out there watering it with a garden hose. Gabe does all this with about 3-4 employees. That being him, wife, son, daughter in law. To add I believe they farm 4000+acres with cattle and sheep. Not a 100 percent sure if that’s all true today but it was 3-4 years ago. I get 25-35 inches of rain per year on average and can’t do what Gabe does.
We, here at Union Grove Farm Vineyards, have been blessed to work extensively with and be guided by Chuck and Understanding Ag for over a year, and the positive impact he has made here has been exceptional. UGF is fully committed to regenerative agriculture but we recognized the absolute necessity of having experienced and deeply knowledgeable guides to both accelerate and optimize everything we are seeking to achieve here. Chuck is a world class expert in this area. A man of integrity and honesty. A key player in the Regenerative Movement…and a true and valued Friend of the Farm.
Wisdom Speaks. Hear Him!
Great speech
Unfortunately these common sense perspectives don't draw the attention they deserve.
I think this 'take have leave have' approach is a waste of grass and time for people that have limited acreage. Selective grazing, IMHO, should be discouraged. Total grazing is the way to go.
I plant sunflowers in with my open pollinated field corn
Excellent insights Sir. Thank you.
Not a nice person
Great little experiment 😁
👍👍🙏🙏🥰🥰♥️♥️🖐️🖐️
Awesome
Love this!!!
Thank you all for discussing this. I'm a very new farmer, jumped in with both feet in 2019, been a journey. One of my first thoughts after we got cattle was how can my I help my cattle be the most healthy? Through reading some of the Albrecht papers I was introduced to soil health which made perfect sense, but how to do it? I just started to listen to Gabe in the last month or so, and planted my first cover crop last week. Yesterday I saw some sprouts, so excited! So far I've managed to go backwards in a lot of this stuff, but I keep trying. Also last week we set up paddocks to get our cattle to about 20000 lbs/acre. Nutrient density is something we desperately need, Allen is right, you can't spray tan it onto commercial fertilizer, just another band aid. Get down to see how Got put it all here to work together, and we'll be on the right track. God told Adam and Eve to multiply and "replenish the earth". That's what regenerative systems do.
Good talk. Keep up the good fight. Y'all reminds me of one of my favorite lines. "A society grows great, when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they'll never sit in". Forgive the "old".....
So we plant radishes and let it die in the soil?
EXCELLENT presentation and follow-up comments! Thank you!!!

i have my haybine set on the second higjest setting, willl try the highest next year. how high did you cut your high pass?
We try to mow at 6 plus inches depending on how rough the field is.
Nothing helps improve the water cycle quite like rotational grazing! Thanks for sharing.👍🌦
New subscriber. Thanks!
Have to dig for knowledge! Thanks for sharing.
That was one of the most encouraging short videos I have ever seen. I am a family practice Physician and my number one tool in restoring health is teaching patients to eat ruminant meat on the path to restoring health. Chronic disease can be reversed in an analogous way to restoration of the soil.
That’s incredible! Thank you for doing what you do and teaching about the importance of nutrition.
It's amazing how that works! We'll said
Who is the maker of the shovel you are using?
Pore space rules!
Thank you, Dr. Stephanie Seneff! 🙌
So, ya'll, when are we going to start jumping all over our legislators about this????
This shit runs in our blood.
Where can the consumer find data on phytonutrient content of regenerative foods?
Excellent overview of the program. .I’ll be looking for the seal on products.
Excellent presentation! Hope it is well viewed!
It is "good"- in Hebrew reads it was functional, and operated as designed. Adam was not functional, like all the animals coming two by two, until Eve was split out from Adam.
I’m all in on the content of this podcast, but being the right thing to do isn’t enough to convert our farmers. It must make a difference economically. So far increased phytonutrient content is not easy to measure nor is it rewarded economically.
"Legumes are overrated" You take that back I will be for the rest of my life 90% Alfalfa on all of my pastures. East Central Minnesota, it's tough to get grasses to really perform where Alfalfa never quits. My stocking density, tons per acre, performance of the cattle, everything with Alfalfa is much better by a large margin But our pasture is only there for 5 years at the most, and then it rotates with row crops. If we leave a hay field longer than 5 years, it starts going backward on soil health I like the perennial ryegrass, hairy vetch,broam.. with the Alfalfa An older neighbor who did not go broken our area headset more guys went broke trying to avoid taxes then guys went broke paying taxes
BLESS YOU
i never know exactly if these types of webinars are talking about irrigated or non-irrigated pasture. i wish there was something that talked specifically about the difference and how to do a grazing plan with a ranch that has both summer(irrigated) and winter (non irrigated) land.
watch jim gerrish videos. He has dry land range and irrigated pastures in 7 inch rain fall Idaho
As a physician I have brought back people from the dead through a heavy to exclusively meat diet. The burden of proof should be on those who say there's any problem eating meat. Meat is the only thing you can safely eat everything else should be questioned.
After dealing with autoimmune issues, food allergies, irratable bowl, brain fog, impaired vision, arthritis, skin rashes, and cronic fatigue for a long time I finally came to the conclusion to try eating what only would have been available were I live over 10,000 years ago. In northern Pennsylvania that would have been mostly meat and water. The change in my health in just a matter of days was night and day. Previously I ate what would have been considered by today's standards a very healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables daily, low fat, whole grains, etc. All of those prior ailments have gone away since switching to a primarily meat based diet. We have been an organic farm for over 10 years and now we are regenative farming, the health differences I and my family have personally experienced have convinced me this is what's best for our health. I am glad to hear doctors such as yourself speak out about the benifits of eating meat.
@@230e4 thank you for sharing your story. I try to apply the principles of regenerative agriculture to medicine.
Thank you very much for this ! I hope more people / farmers will learn from this :-)
