Ep 365 - Kristine Root - Verifying Regenerative Systems
This was an awesome podcast to listen to while setting up the next paddock move. Northeastern Missouri. I’m so grateful for our fescue. This is our first time outwintering and I haven’t had to feed hay yet, still whittling down that fescue stockpile. Thanks so much!
Marnie, I really like the size of your reactor. Can you share what the black frame is made from?
Miccorrhyzal requires a living root I was taught. Johnson-su is a saphrophytic fungi mix. I planted stuff on top of my johnson su just for fun. It's two years old.
I'm not sure whare you got your calculations from, 3200 devided by 30 is 106.6 so i think your giving the wrong info out there or you didn't do the math correctly.
How do you get that job?

Great work, makes so much sense
Step 1, the soil. It has to be the 1st question we ask when managing. How does that affect the soil. It’s not easy, it’s an incredible leap of faith. If your heart isn’t in it, don’t even try. You have to want it to work, not do it to prove it doesn’t. Healthy soil and human health are synonymous. Show me your soil, and I’ll show you the health of that nation.
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!!!
3:08 Start
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.
