Your an inspiration sir 👌

All very well and well done George. But regenerative agriculture is not the most pressing issue in British farming. Neither is it the solution to the future of farming. The underlying reason why farmers departed from traditional methods and ideas in the first place is only partly to do with mechanisation but mostly driven by the economics of selling the food they produce. Farming cannot survive in the UK without a fundamental restructure of food economics where farmers get a guaranteed share of the retail price and that price reflects the true cost of production. Just like any other commodity. The dominant supermarket chains and their customers need to be less driven by price and focus on provenance and food miles - how far has produce travelled. The often enormous carbon cost of transporatation must be reflected in retail price thereby favouring locally produced food. British farmers are desperately struggling to survive. A simple example. This year's new season lambs are the more or less the same price at market per kg as they were pre-Covid, pre-cost of living crisis, pre energy crisis, pre inflation. No other essential commodity has remained static in price and effectively devalued over the last five years. Farming in UK is uneconomic. This is the stark reality which the UK population appear unaware of, no politician mentions, and no one makes videos for UA-cam on the subject. It's estimated that the UK's total food waste could feed upwards of 30 million people a year.

Cow methane is carbon neutral, because it is NOT fossil carbon. What was carbon in a plant yesterday is methane in the atmosphere today. But where does a plant get carbon from? It gets it from the atmosphere. 50% of a plants mass is put carbon. So it is just a cycle. The blaming of cows for global warming is coming from the fossil fuel industry and their sponsees the vegans. Brilliant effort, you are doing a fantastic job. Farming is going to become one of the major methods of socking away atmospheric carbon, and you are well on the way.

Loving this . I top immediately after grassing and I spot spray the docks . It's a bit of work but docks are well reduced and you might think it has been over seeded with white clover .

An excellent video, very informative. I look forward to learning more on this subject. Really good to see farming aiming to work with nature. Thanks

in the US on regenerative agriculture run farms they use daikon radish with clover as a nitrogen absorber which then is released when they rot away and they have deep tap roots that pierce deep into the soil

It is great you can compare with the past. Thank you for making the necessary transition!

Very interesting of course and useful, so thank you. For future zoomcasts please could Anne Chapman sort out her microphone?! Very often I could barely make out what she was saying. I hadn't heard of Green House before, to my discredit, so I'm also grateful for that. The discussion on non-violent sabotage was specially interesting to me because I've just been immersed in reading about the Deep Green Resistance movement and although I regard what I've read there as being sincere and idealistically motivated and I share much of their analysis as to how we got here, I just don't see it as helpful, pragmatic or realistic. It could easily be counterproductive and, although it wouldn't want to do this, could destroy the wider climate crisis activity groups -- the 'mainstream'. I think Dr Read has an excellent point when he stresses avoidance of Left ideological purity and promotes the notion of inclusiveness. There are so many people who will agree on what steps to take to mitigate the worst consequences but who profoundly disagree on everything else. For instance I have for the past couple of years been totally put off by the Green Party's being captured by gender ideology, but I can now, not without some hard mental work, been able to put that aside for the greater climate good. That may be some of what Dr Read is talking about although of course he's casting his net far wider and deeper. I might paraphrase Russell's 'Remember your humanity, and forget the rest'. We have constantly to keep in mind our being in the same existential boat, even when we want to repress the idea most. A reading of Ernest Becker's 'Denial of Death' and other related books is helpful here, I believe. 'Escape from Evil' also.

Good jee video

At 15:30 he hits the nail on the head. People don't think about the Second Order and Third Order effects of decisions they make, but those decisions can ripple out in huge ways that devastate the culture. In 1940 they were employing 30 people on the farm.... but they were employing 300 or 3000 in the surrounding culture. When they "simplified", they destroyed the surrounding town because all of those other people were now unemployed. And it causes something of a snowball effect, more people leaving to find work meant that the farm had no choice but to mechanize more. The more people left, the more machines were necessary, but the more mechanization that was brought in meant more people had to leave to find work elsewhere. In short, you create a Vicious Circle that spirals downwards and soon is out of control. The Gentleman talks about planting hedge rows in the near future, and that's a good thing, but it's evidence of exactly how the decisions of the Past had a negative impact on the Now. Hedgerows used to be commonplace, and there was a huge cottage industry of people who tended the hedgerows, planted new ones, and revitalized old ones. On top of that, there was a nationwide industry of people who used the hedgerows for their natural resources, the wood becoming a heat source to warm the houses and material to make baskets and hurdles and tool handles. Unfortunately, people forgot about that as they were talked into making their fences out of barbed wire. They were told barbed wire was easier and faster, and quick to repair when needed. They were told how much cheaper it was to install a barbed-wire fence than to try growing a hedgerow from scratch. And there was a lot of truth to that. What they didn't understand, though, was how that one little thing would have Second Order and Third Order effects that severely undermined the local culture and put hundreds of people out of work. And now, when you go through the land, there's hardly a hedge-layer to be found and most of the old hedgerows are in horrible condition because the hedge-layers have long since been driven out of the area. They had to search for work somewhere, and their kids were never taught the skills. Lo and Behold, now we're talking about how the hedgerows provide tremendous benefits that weren't understood back in the 40's and 50's. Now we talk about how the hedgerows are shelter from the wind and build up the soil, stop erosion, control water flow, and bring in wildlife that's tremendously beneficial to the farms. Great, but wouldn't it have been better to have always had that? This is what I call "Tending the Garden". Everyone can relate to the idea that you have to till the soil and pluck the weeds, but they don't often think about how you also have to build fences to keep out the unwanted. That garden will only feed so many, and while the bunnies and deer don't belong there because they'll just eat up everything and then those relying on the garden will have nothing to eat. The deer and rabbits might be cute... but you have to protect the garden if you want a bountiful harvest. The gentleman talks about selling to the local community, but that can only happen if the local community buys from them. And that requires a shift in thinking that most people just aren't willing to do. It requires paying good money when the stuff from the big box store is cheaper. It requires local pride and a sense of local culture. We used to have that but the ideas were undermined by those with nefarious intent, imo. And, to be fair, the average person on the street is all too happy to go along with it because they can save a Shilling here and there. They don't think about the Second Order and Third Order effects. Just as they didn't think about what it would mean when they stopped tending their hedgerows in years past, the people today don't think about most anything other than will they save money this week. We need to work on that. Tradition and Culture are what define us whether we like it or not. When we surrender something that we know worked because someone promises us that newer must be better, we need to think long and hard about how that can ripple out.

well done for all the hard work to improve the soil conditions and great to know about plans to plant trees and hedges! would be awesome to have an update after two years on further progress.

Superb video brings back happy memories of Silverdale

Good business sense - the profits and margins are what will sustain the farm, not the gross yields. The investment in the soil is paying off - less work, less costs, a partnership with mother earth.

Really interesting, I know nothing about agriculture, but it goes to show we can grow in a more sustainable way. Love to learn more!

I just wrote this . In few words it shows the great gift that legumes "magically" give to humans and the earth by their ability to synthesize protein from thin air: " Our bodies are made out of protein Legumes magically transform air in our atmosphere into protein Our soils need nitrogen Legumes magically fix nitrogen in our atmosphere into the soil We need oxygen to breath Legumes magically transform CO2 into O2 for us to breathe Every time you buy meat Your are funding cut and burn deforestation operations That permanently destroy 28 million hectare acres of forest each year Resulting in Lower oxygen levels , Higher CO2 levels , Higher temperatures , droughts and famines Resulting in starvation , thirst, suffocation and heat waves The dollars that fund these deforestation operations Come from the meat you buy They don’t come from anywhere else Stop buying meat Millions of people have given up meat to live on legumes You can too Don’t believe the lies the meat industry’s paid agents SAY About how you cant have perfect health without meat Believe the healthy , strong , energetic ,lean, youthful bodies of vegans you SEE I have been vegan for 40 years At 62 I work 60 hour weeks on a farm I run 10Ks I am able to sit alertly and tranquilly for hours in meditation The only difference between a meat eater and a vegan is PAIN Meat eaters are building a prison of pain Wherein it will be painful to live And from which painful to escape Karma is real If you think Jesus experienced pain so that you would not have to Stick your hand in a fire God put pain here for a reason: To teach you that you have gone astray And to lead you back to the right path" Please send a copy to your congress man

I'm saving this vid for future reference . What an excellent explanation of what it's all about. There's a silent revolution on in farming and meanstream society hasn't a clue about it. What gets my goat is the likes of mc Donald's, Danone, nestles and the like are greenwashing their companies when the only thing that really matters to them is their bottom line. The regen ag movement is going to ruin big agri chem and it fathoms belief but they are greenwashing also. Despite all that, it's the best thing to happen in 70 yrs. of chemical poisoning.

Wow, thank you. George, you are a farmer that is leading by example. Do you have to bring the cows in over winter? We have a market garden and are reliant on well rotted muck as well as council green waste to feed our soil.

Brilliant, what breed do ye recommend.

Subsidised to the max to produce excessive mountains of food surplus. A throwback to medieval times and before. And, as we can see here, the landed gentry still at it. And they transplanted this crap to the New World, to the Americas, Australia, etc.

so you are effectively replanting the hedges that were ripped out 40 years ago However well done better late than never

Wonderful changes. Could you roller crimp rather than using herbicides?

This is really interesting thank you. This is nowhere near my area of study but it does seem a little like denial in regards to the beef/bull/livestock impact. Still better than other types of farming I guess, but just plant-based/very low meat consumption and production is the only way forward in the climate emergency. thanks again for this video I love this system. We have a lot of work to do to start to unravel the impact of industrialised overconsumption

Earth is a closed loop that self regulates CO2 by combining it with H2O to capture the EM energy of the Sun/Galaxy to create life. EEarth is a closed loop that self regulates CO2 by combining it with H2O to capture the EM energy of the Sun/Galactic Nucleus/Bulge to create life. Animals are gods way of irrigation, plowing. Just add H2O to capture the energy of the sun and create life. The climate cycles of our water planet are continental glaciers with corresponding lower sea levels (Dwarka, Atlantises) brought on by east to west global Tsunami's (Gobekli tepe, Washington scablands, Tassili N'ajjer, Younger Dryas, Clovis people). Every 13,000 years half the Great Year/Precession/Yuga cycle our solar system crosses over our galaxies electromagnetic/gravitational equator at the Autumnal or Vernal Equinox, NOW for the next MILLENIA. The galactic Milankovitch cycles cause our climate cycles with the galactic bulge taking 240,000 years to do a full rotation eccentricity. Obliquity magnetic north changes in accordance to the galactic bulge in 4 quadrants east/west declination towards or away from the galactic bulge this causes global warming or cooling on a 4x60,00 year cycles. Covid like CO2 is a lie built upon an inconvenient truth. The Baby Boomers who were born en mass 75 years ago are starting to die from the usual suspects of seasonal Flu/Pneumonia and old age. The MASK of the BEAST is a pretext for the covidiot FINAL SOLUTION to depopulate before the EMP plasma bursts and E-W global tsunami's resets the planet and humanity. Jesus loved all races because there is only one race, THE HUMAN RACE with only one minority THE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN. There is no Nazi master race like there is no Jewish Chosen people. We all came from our mothers as equal humans. We are all the sum of our life's experiences teachings and circumstances. SOON

This is terrific news. I wonder how quickly this approach can become general. No sign of anything here in the Chilterns as the soil merrily flows down our roads and blocks the drains whenever there is heavy rain. We’re soon going to be importing all that Australian beef and lamb that’s been chewing its unrestricted way to desertification too…

have you considered a roller crimper in place of tilling or herbicides?

Brilliant informative video thank you for sharing your valuable experience 👍👍👍👍👍

Somebody tag Jeremy Clarkson

"Regenerative farming" by exploiting animals is industry marketing BS, just like "clean coal" is. Learn the TRUTH... ua-cam.com/video/rKjQfn-HR6g/v-deo.html

Add seaweed to your herbicide application, can act as a buffering agent, plus many more positive functions.

Some of these dung beetles could be a healthier soil worm population.

You are one of a growing number who have rethought your land management approach. Good on you sir, this video is a testimony of successful animal and land husbandry. Greg Judy is a man you should follow here in the United States, he is doing things you are doing and would be a great resource for you.

Brilliant

Well done on the video was a very good informative video thanks

when you used the term " corn " did you mean MAIZE? or WHEAT? great video thank you

your doing what i am planning on doing! you guys are great! just subscribed

Glyphosate is one of the most user friendly chemicals out there ! Its the " user " thats the problem ! Ive use Glyphosates since they were introduced in 1974. Nothing but good luck and very useful ! Im age 65 now. And no.....Im very healthy......use no drugs and run 10 miles per day ( 45 min. ) So......those who suggest Glyphosates are not healthy to use ....is just totally false !!!

Welcome home to Mom Nature's way. Let go of the glyphosate you don't need it look how far you have come. Bravo. Sir, Bravo! I am a retired organic farmer. Every time I made a move toward fully organic farming there was always a benefit I had not expected or counted on. I hope you find this true for you. Makes it even more fun.

Have you changed your livestock desireable traits as well? Are you selecting for larger gut, better performance on grass only, smaller frame cow/bull, etc?

What is the one occasion in the year that you need glyphosate for?

Good start. Now ditch the glyphosate. Here's why. www.gmwatch.org/en/news/latest-news/19758-glyphosate-based-herbicide-hacks-hormones-of-baby-girls-after-exposure-in-the-womb

Great but glyposate is very bad for people's health. Hope you can figure out how to get rid of that too.

Rotations of dense cover crops can suppress weeds. Improvements in soil structure, chemistry and biology will suppress weeds. In combination with your grazing practices, those additional practices should allow you to stop using glyphosate. The sooner the better. It needs to be banned as we now know it is harmful to soil life, animal health and human health, and your bottom line.

Sorry if you used goats that could eat the weeds wouldn't that be better than a herbicide or is that not possible

SO TRUE ABOUT METHANE!!! your amazing 👏 Statement by Oxford’s Myles Allen, PhD, Former IPCC scientist, whose team is proposing GWP* (Global Warming Potential star) as an alternative to CO2e (Carbon Dioxide-equivalent) "Achieving climate neutrality in terms of metric-equivalent emissions could mean eliminating practices, such as ruminant agriculture, that are not actually causing global warming. Warming-equivalent emissions resolve this problem." August 4, 2020 ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/12504-EU-Methane-Strategy/F540870
