Om ni har haft översvämning kommer ni säkert få det igen . Gräva diken och varför inte angöra en damm så ni kan skara på regnvattnet till torrare perioder .
Amazing interview! I'm reading Gabe's "Dirt to Soil" now, however, I 'd like to implement the concept of regenerative agriculture to the restoration of original ecosystems and to the creation of edible forests in the Valley of Mexico. Would Gabe or anyone else have some suggestions about how to start? Many thanks! 🙏

Mind blowing information. Thank you for sharing
This is called Freedom ! And community.
Makes perfect sense. Do you sell organic seed

Hate to be “that guy” but what covers do you recommend for a backyard raised bed garden? Also i have not gotten far enough into this to know when to plant the cover crop. I’m in South Carolina zone 8b. I grow blueberries, tomatoes, bush and vine beans, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, many types of peppers and looking to expand to more.
You might want to watch the seminar he gave in North Carolina a while back.
Sweet informative video brothers! Really enjoyed 😎 New subscribers here in Louisiana
What is the total mix 1:17
Morning Does anyone know of any group that are selling any intact grass finish young beef
I'm a consumer born and raised in Germany, now living in the US and Gabe is my new hero! I read his book and can't agree more with his approach to farming.
Feed the bugs you have... don't buy some genetically altered bug that won't last long out there in your environment.
Lol when I saw the cash I thought to myself "ooh look! There is almost enough there to cover groceries this week"
Can you make a video when your seeding your cover crops with the no till.
Absolutely!
That would be great. I use a Haybuster 107. Pretty common small no till. I would think that the calibration is very similar.
Omg Joe. A part three and four. Cool.👍
Enjoy!!
@@covercropcompany I should be in bed, but I'm checking cows anyway.
On my 15 ft 1590. It takes 36 revolutions of the jacked up drive wheel to go 1/10 of an acre Do the math from there I fill the drill right full. To Make sure head pressure isn’t a factor
Good point! Wonder how much difference that would make.
Excellent podcast. Truly enjoyed the slides about what’s free from the air and the billion $ fertilizer & input industry …especially if planted diversity can assist with NPK as well.
Thanks for the reply! Glad you enjoyed it!
There needs to be a university text book that covers everything that gabe brown has shown in his book. Great video.
Agreed!
Look up Dr Elaine Ingham, SFW
I’ve been gardening since I was about five years old. Married an agronomist, moved to North Dakota, worked in a soils lab. SOIL IS EVERYTHING in life. If we understood soil more accurately and treated it properly, we likely wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in today. Currently, we have two people who are trying to influence all of us. One has the initials GB, while the other has the initials BG. One is spreading wisdom and hope, the other is sowing fear and BS. If you are not a farmer or rancher, please try to understand just how important these farmers and ranchers are to all of humanity, and how difficult this occupation really is. We need these guys, perhaps more than ever! Remember, civilizations are built or destroyed by food production, which holds true throughout all species. Btw, I’m banking on GB and his no BS teachings.
Thanks for that wonderful comment!
Okay. I get and 100% want healthier for me and the environment. But I can’t afford your savings. Freedom Farms in Greene, NY wants $36 for a whole grass fed chicken. How’s that helpful?
You can raise that chicken with the best feed and conditions for about $5 lb. This is an investment in front end health care and food security. If you are dealing with a 6 lb bird that’s a great deal. As long as it pastured and organic feed based..
In canada we call that a hockey smile!
Leave the screen on I don’t need to see you walking around
Leave your quarter in the jar.
Thanks for the feedback
I disagree, it makes it feel super formal if it's not showing the room as a whole. Could turn people off by feeling like class, rather than a discussion. Actually really liked the coverage, just my .02
Split screen with small spot on speaker, majority on presentation's powerpoint or other prop about which the speaker is talking. Then viewer can focus on either.
Regenerative agriculture is my religion.
Love it!
Yep that’s how I got started here in AZ as well. Found Gabe on UA-cam. 😊
He's a legend!
How do you prep for corn for top yealds?
The good news about phosphate mining is that what is considered "ore" will change as fast as the proven reserves run down. Athenian Greeks were concerned about the last silver running out in 20 years. We have had only 20-40 years of silver reserves left for the last 2800 years. Lithium is the modern example. China threatened to cut off the worlds supply since they had most of it. So geologists start looking for alternatives. They found more lithium than the Chinese have in each of Japan, South America and California and probably more places. Phosphate has been a contaminant in iron refining for ever. If we set up to leach slag heaps for phosphorous, we will have an endless supply. That probably won't happen since phosphorous fracking or other new technology will probably be cheaper.
Interesting take!
Gabe is a national treasure!
Agreed!!
Excellent content man so hopeful. If we could just get this information to the youth. Poor kids think the end of the world is on the horizon if they only knew how much hope is in soil.
Problem is there's only 50 years left of fertility with conventionally farmer fields, along with over 2 dozen aggregated studies showing reduction in sperm count via the use of pesticides....so they aren't wrong, sadly
Thanks so much for the reply! Thanks for tuning in!
Excellent presentation
Thanks so much! We try!
Great talk guys! We’re only homesteaders on 26 acres with our 5 kids but we’re learning so much from these talks!!
Thanks for tuning in! Education is a huge part of what we want to share with producers!
I read Gabe’s book. I would really like to see his message, how his operation has impacted wildlife? We’ve always dovetailed soil, water wildlife together-Gabe’s ranch is it! What response did he see from game & non-game species on his ranch in the wake of regenerative farming?
I think the major problem for wildlife living among regenerative farms is a lack of space to live on.
All positive!!
During one of Gabe's magnificent YT videos from years ago, he relates how a state game official sent him aerial photographs of many deer on one or more of his ranch fields He cited that as yet another positive indicator of a very healthy ecosystem. He also mentions cowbirds that actually over-winter and follow the managed grazing herds, thus reducing pests and increasing soil wellness, productivity, profitability and eliminating the need for inputs.
It is amazing how well wildlife, not just large game, but small creatures and insects come back to a thriving system!
Farmers here are tired of elk and deer and are doing something about it, I don't like it. These young farmers are not regenerative farmers, I wish they were. Even the large cattle and bison ranch is not regenerative, he was educated by mainstream agribusiness practices. Frustrating to see. I think it's time I feed my facebook page with Gabe Brown's regenerative farming knowledge;)
Keep the government the hell out of it, they kill everything they touch
You can have our rain for right now we are completely saturated
Kinda the same here in Ohio. Been rainy all winter. Least ya ain't gotta shovel.😅
Can you please provide some details on the 99.4% of corn is not used for people. I found this surprising. I enjoyed the podcast. Thanks
Most goes to animal feed, seed, ethanol. A very small percentage of corn grown is used directly for human consumption
As @same1106, most goes to feed.. so indirectly to us, but directly a very little bit gets consumed by humans.
Awesome podcast..!! Always love learning from Gabe Brown. Thanks Joe, i enjoy listening to all your podcasts.. Rotational grazing is diffinatly working for us!
Thanks for checking it out! Rotational grazing has been a game changer for a few of us here at Covers!
Can you seed it with a air seeder?
Absolutely!
Do you seed with a air seeder?
Any seeding tool will work. Just don't broadcast.
Been a battle this winter here to graze and not pug the ground. Been too mild
Here is the complete webinar: ua-cam.com/video/2USmBbd4AeY/v-deo.html
So many questions ????? Great job!
@followers ua-cam.com/video/60MOfCMNsfk/v-deo.htmlsi=MfdP4xuvTpPXPUX0
What does ur animals weight What weight should cows be to be able to finish on grass?
aah turnips, the plants used for carving before pumkins, horrifyingly boring
Great for grazing cows though ;)
They so big
