I used to work commercial farms who strip mine the land and pump tanker loads of salt based fertilizer to make crops grow. I'm in a transition to use wood chips and chickens to improve garden soils. Even adding a little azomite proves there are other compounds needed in the soil, amino acids from fish fertilizer also prove effective. Neighbors laugh when I spread pine bark mulch around fruit trees or plant flowers. The honeybees I created is no joke and gets negative attention, there are plenty of people looking for local honey.. I saw Bernie Sanders proposing change due to health care costs and processed foods.
I have a landscaping business that has a spray operation. 7 years ago I was led to the Biological Method. Most of what I have learned I took from agriculture and adapted it to the turf industry. Currently I have a lawn that I have not sprayed weeds in two years, water once every ten days and never applied any Nitrogen (this year)and the lawn is emerald green. Of course we do not eat grass, but if we treated the agricultural land with what I have learned farmers could cut their inputs by 50% or better and focus on nutrient density rather than volume, which is grossly inefficient. We are blowing money trying to get plants to grow all while impeding the soil and depleting the health of the plants and then eat them. We can do much better...
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I applaud your approach! It is inspiring to see people making a difference through their hard work, and I believe that what you are doing with your landscaping business is truly revolutionary!
We have to go back to lard.......not vegetable oil aka soy bean oil. George Washington Carver said we are not to eat the soy bean. Also there was a feed lot study about using vegetable oil aka soy bean oil to fatten cattle faster.....they had to stop feeding cattle the oil because they were dropping dead. Also micro plastics are huge issue, all our food is wrapped in plastic.
I remember as a kid my dad, uncles etc warned us not to eat very many soy beans...so of course I had to grab a handfull....hour later I was laying on the ground with bad cramps and stomach ache...lesson learned....stay away from anything soy bean. Stomach/digestion killer.
Food should be local! Bottom line and the solution to the problem is, raise it OR buy it local. I don’t feel like food was ever meant to be grown, raised, produced and processed on a large scale mass production…the solution? Keep it small and local. This means more local farms, local gardens, and local growers…(whichever terminology fits your situation) TY RFK Jr
Back to Eden's Paul Gautschi has been preaching the values of minerals in the soil for years. My encouragement would be for Americans to learn how to grow foods and not lawns to increase the minerals and nutrients of healthy food in their diet.
I am a big proponent of regenerative farming but am dead set against subsidies and government sponsored certifications. Both of those tend to favor those with the best lobbyists and have got us where we are now. Some non-government, private company certifications would probably be the best way to go. Then, abolish the FDA and turn it back over to the states (as stated in the 10th Amendment to the Constitution). The states should severely limit the chemical inputs in farming and processing foods. Once a few states do that, farmers and processors will have to change to cater to them.
If they’re serious about cutting government spending, a good place to start, in my opinion is closing down the FSA and putting a stop to the farm programs . It seems to me that they help the big farms to the detriment of the small family farms. Also the big chemical and seed companies are not the farmer’s friends!
One of the things that is holding back regenerative agriculture, at the moment, is that they cannot get crop insurance, because it falls outside of the "norms" of what they protect against crop failure.
Have you looked into biochar? I’ve been making it and adding it to my own home garden with extraordinary results. It’s fairly easy to make and seems like for someone with livestock, it would be a great addition.
I sure hope there is a change in 2025 for the better. CDC, FDA, WHO and all those need to stop already. Money talks but health walks. They all know beef and meat means health and that affects their bottom billions. This attack on farming has been unreal.
Yes and gut FDA and USDA and start over! Cancer rates sky-rocketing in big agricultural states with teenagers getting cancer. PFAS, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and GMO.....no thank you!
@@strictlyconservative8777 You know nothing about gmo technology and its many many benefits. We don't need a drug addict to fix our food system. Most people are clueless on how to eat a healthy diet and thus all their health issues.

You sir are very intelligent. Thank you for sharing this important information. The they can no longer be allowed to get away with poisoning us and our land.
Well I do agree. Kennedy should be the guy to fix it. I also think he is clueless as to what the problems are. But I do have faith in his ability to ask questions and dig to the truth of the matter.
This only works when producers are dedicated to the ecosystem health they grow in. In my area at least, this would produce disastrous effects ecologically if people were able to to "whatever they wanted" with the land. While I don't think *I* personally need those regulations, I do understand that many of these regulations exist to protect humans from themselves!
@@saintmaxmedia2423 Agreed. My main thought still is that a wholesale removal of all regs is not the best path forward. Not that either of us has to worry about that option...waaaaay too much money in agriculture for govt to let that go - too many lobbyists and donors involved. The fox was let into the henhouse long ago!
Loeffler and Rollins are two picks already that give some insight on where President Trump stands, there wasn't much interest in agriculture last time around and RFK was against Rollins. Too much money to be made by these big corporations to control farming, just like healthcare. A lot know we could do so much better with agriculture, but the people have to get behind it and follow it through.
I enjoyed your video and I think your heart is in the right place. Unfortunately, RFK Jr will not get us there. You referred to him as an outsider, but he is from the Kennedy family (political royalty), son of US AG and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, nephew of former POTUS JFK and Senator Ted Kennedy. He graduated from Harvard and the London School of Economics. I love the idea of healthy alternatives, but I see multiple issues. RFK Jr is a lawyer, not a medical doctor. He provided platitudes, not policies. Look what his recommendations did to the people of Samoa. Not everyone can create a Pigeon River Farm. Should the government start subsidizing sustainable living? How do you justify big government intervention over free-market capitalism? Shouldn't the consumers get to decide what they want to eat, rather than Big Brother? What happened to smaller government and eliminate wasteful spending? During the Obama administration, Michelle Obama's attempted to implement the Let's Move campaign. She wanted healthier lunches in schools and workout routines for kids, but Republicans flipped out about making decisions for American families.
I would research him more if I were you. Look at his work in the Hudson river, lawsuits against Monsanto, etc. He wants agencies and companies to be held responsible for poisonings, experimenting and killing Americans.
Republicans have not been the farm party for at least 2 decades. FDR made the best agriculture policy in history. RFK jr may have ideas, but large agri-business are big donors to republicans and will raise prices any way they can. Coupled with mass immigrant arrests, prices will triple if they do what they say.
Prices won’t triple because if the farmer down the road is finally allowed to sell directly to the store we won’t need to pay big ag’s price. Second, do we really need illegal migrants to be our cheap (dare I say slave) labor? I don’t agree with abusing a demographic because they will work for less than an American. And if they were paid the same they wouldn’t be necessary to keep food cheap. I’m a small regenerative farmer who grows more than 80% of my own food and trying very hard to also feed my community. What average people do not realize is that our food and farming is not free market, that is the primary issue. Corporate capture has ruled this industry for a generation. There is a revolving door between big ag and law making agencies. Every aspect of typical agriculture is by and for corporate benefit, so called food safety laws, processing plants, farm bureau’s everything from farm to fork is bought off and captured. Farmers are not farmers, they themselves are like the workers in a sweatshop paid pennies per garment while providing their own sewing machine, and then getting food stamps to feed the kids. This farming model is in no way secure or sustainable. Tyson owns those nuggets from hatching egg to the package we buy at the store. The farmer who raises the chicken is nothing but a contracted babysitter who takes all the risk and might break even if lucky. That farmer cannot go to his local grocery store and sell his chicken for retail profits next to Tyson, he has to sell into the chain of corporate middlemen. There is no free market for the consumer to buy a better product without great effort (or at all ref Amos Miller) and no free market for the farmer to sell outside the corporate food chain. Therefore the free market cannot give us choice for healthy non polluted food because current laws prevent competition. Only big brother can cut the first chain that will allow the independent farmer freedom to bypass the rules that the middleman of big ag uses to control all food. Rfk has been dealing with this corruption for decades and knows more than any ag college graduate about this issue. Rfk is not just one man, he is surrounded by people who really know their stuff and are successfully doing alternatives. If he did nothing more than decentralize ag and allow thousands of small individual farmers sell directly to local stores near them it would change everything.
@@NorthlandSLC I've lived with and worked with migrant labor. The 2 biggest things people do not know is that the farms encourage them to come illegally because if they are legal, it is more expensive. The second thing is, there are 9 entities that get billions in resettlement contracts from the US government. As far as I know, they are all church affiliated. the fight at the border is between the catholics and the evangelicals. In Guatemala, between 2009 and 2015 the evangelicals arrived daily by the planeload to go town to town converting everyone. Then they sent them north in the Caravans, with the instruction to be "from the right church", when they get to the border. A disabled child with spanish only language skills, no parents gets up to 700 per night for the centers that take them in. The resettlement contracts have sole autonomy over WHERE to send the people. So, if they send 700 children to an Evangelical center or any housing, it is millions in income. No tax for any churches, so they make an extra 30 - 40 %. Trumps chief of Staff was on the board of the largest migrant housing center in Florida. they made hundreds of millions. John kelly. Most food processing plants employ undocumented labor. If Trump is going to be of any help in the food, he will have to hold off on "rounding up" the migrants. RFK, may have good intentions, but as soon as he is confirmed, Trump debt to him is paid, and he will get no help. the Dept of Agriculture was the lowest priority for the first trump term. Don't count on anything until you see it. And even then, watch for the trickery because these guys are coming for the money, not us. Elon also. He can improve spending by himself, by just not taking the millions in taxpayer money. These guys lie every day worse than the other liars. Handmaids Tale is upon us. I just tell people to grow food, and gather seeds. And do not believe anything coming from a rich mans mouth. JFK was the one who evicted the Seneca and created Lake Perfidy.
The problem is, many of RFK's ideas run counter to profits of large Trump donors. During Trumps first admin the dept of Agriculture was the lowest priority and he handed it to Purdue. The death of the small farms in many areas were the result. We need incentives for small to medium farms, that produce healthy food sold directly to the people. farm to table .... Our food production is also a massive national security concern, because if we are unable to feed ourselves, we rely on potential bad actors, and profiteers who do not care about your health. Trump loves McDonalds,...so its not happening.
You raise some valid points worth acknowledging. I don't completely disagree with you. However, we must progress with the best options available to us. Let's see if RFK's proposals become reality! There's more that I favor than not.
@@pigeonriverfarm6909 I do not listen to what they say, I watch what they do. Trump just picked one of the richest former members of congress, Loeffler to run SBA. The Rollins pick for Agriculture does not engender confidence. Farmers need an advocate, not a think tank creator. There is a thousand people who would have been a great pick. All the small farms here are dead, except for the ones who can scrape together parts, and keep going on a shoestring. I have noticed even the farm stands now carry factory vegetables, but the stands are designed to look like they are producers. That isn't going to help when those start getting taken down, because actual producers will suffer from the reputation hit. The last town I lived in before this, had one large farmer. He would lease the land from dead farms, and then stiff them for the lease payment arguing they got a tax break. Then he stole 50 acres of beans from a small guy, and 100 acres of corn from a farm going to auction. All of his produce, soybeans, were sold overseas, and not one single thing in our local grocery came from all that land. Monetized mono-culture is not farming in my opinion, and that is what they will do. Trump looks at farmers as commodities, and the Ag dept is his lowest priority. Not one person in the Trump family has ever served in military or public service, and they have never grown a garden or even a single vegetable plant.
Hope those eyesore inefficient wind turbines aren't in the future. I'm in Iowa, they've built lots of turbines now they want to use emminant domain to bury power lines from here to Chicago. If shitcago needs the power build the eyesores in IL.
Let’s make on thing clear..our farmers are leading the way as they have been for generations. This gent is a paid politician whose job it is to help our country and people more healthy and capable. It’s unfortunate many of of his predecessors have abused that power. To endless degrees. However it’s misleading to say this one man who’s not out working the winter fields is not saving out farmers. He’s doing his jobs as it should be done. Bravo yet not so much. Let’s hear it for the regenerative farmers who have been working and waiting for the world to listen
We have all benefited from magical government checks? Contrar my friend. I respectfully disagree. I’ve been paid out for some conversation stuff, but crop insurance, revenue insurance, all of it has created massive over production. This has lowered prices. It blew the prices of land and equipment way up.
Beef was losing market share in the late 70's and 80's because of inconsistent cuts. We learned how to finish with corn in the diet for better eating consistency. I've talked to local butchers who say grass fed are not fun to cut up. Just saying.
@@pigeonriverfarm6909 We have a sustainable food system. Unlike many places in the world anything a farmer can produce profitably is available for the consumer to choose from in this country. Can you think of anything that is not available that consumer would like to have that the farmer can produce profitably?
Farmers do not receive subsidies and have NOT since the 2013 farm bill was passed! How is the Organic Grower being penalized? They charge 3 and 4 times more for their crops than conventional farmers. Organic Growers are making huge huge profits and they are not bashful about telling you that they are. Farmers replace the nutrients and micro nutrients that each crop they are growing need to thrive and be the most productive. Every crop needs different nutrients and micro nutrients and that is why people need to learn to eat a wide variety of good whole foods instead of the junk they eat today. Farmers are paid by the bushels and pounds they produce not on whether that crop has micro nutrients in it that that crop does NOT need to thrive and reach maximum production.. It does not start at the farm, it starts with the decisions consumers make on their food choices. Those that want good whole foods with all around good nutrition then those choices are available to everyone who wants them. When I learned to only eat whole foods with only one word on the ingredient list in two years I lost 131 pounds and all all my health issues that were a mile long disappeared. It was me that that had to make the right decision's not the farmer. I have kept every pound off for almost 5 years now. Who is going make farmers apply nutrients that their crops do NOT need????
You're doing a fantastic job! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
So who will set the standard of nutrient density and who is going to test every bushel of grain to see that it meets that standard.???? And what if some buyers only want cheap grain and does not care about the standards???? Are growers going to be aloud to grow grain for them??? It sounds like a whole lot of Government red tape, regulations and cost to me.!!!!
Great concepts, too bad we can't translate that to the medical industrial complex. No standard of quality only standard on what the insurance company will pay

I used to work commercial farms who strip mine the land and pump tanker loads of salt based fertilizer to make crops grow. I'm in a transition to use wood chips and chickens to improve garden soils. Even adding a little azomite proves there are other compounds needed in the soil, amino acids from fish fertilizer also prove effective. Neighbors laugh when I spread pine bark mulch around fruit trees or plant flowers. The honeybees I created is no joke and gets negative attention, there are plenty of people looking for local honey..

I’ve been paid out for some conversation stuff, but crop insurance, revenue insurance, all of it has created massive over production. This has lowered prices. It blew the prices of land and equipment way up.
Thank you, respect your thoughts. More will be revealed!
Correct, with the subsidies farmers no longer have to be "good" farmers, whatever that means, they just need to have ground under control.
@@pigeonriverfarm6909 Farmers quit receiving direct subsidies with the passage of the 2013 farm bill. Your post is FALSE and total Garbage.
I liked the Healthy alternatives you mentioned. Food and Wellness go hand in hand for sure.
I’d be nice if we could do something about fluoride.
Thanks for your perspective. (please turn off background music, thank you.)
Government should support tiny farmers much?
Beef was losing market share in the late 70's and 80's because of inconsistent cuts. We learned how to finish with corn in the diet for better eating consistency. I've talked to local butchers who say grass fed are not fun to cut up. Just saying.
I don't like the taste of grass finished.
We have had corn fed beef since the Indians taught the Settlers how to grow corn.
Thank you for sharing your insight! It's all about building a sustainable food system and we need to consider all aspects.
@@pigeonriverfarm6909 We have a sustainable food system. Unlike many places in the world anything a farmer can produce profitably is available for the consumer to choose from in this country. Can you think of anything that is not available that consumer would like to have that the farmer can produce profitably?
Farmers do not receive subsidies and have NOT since the 2013 farm bill was passed! How is the Organic Grower being penalized? They charge 3 and 4 times more for their crops than conventional farmers. Organic Growers are making huge huge profits and they are not bashful about telling you that they are. Farmers replace the nutrients and micro nutrients that each crop they are growing need to thrive and be the most productive. Every crop needs different nutrients and micro nutrients and that is why people need to learn to eat a wide variety of good whole foods instead of the junk they eat today. Farmers are paid by the bushels and pounds they produce not on whether that crop has micro nutrients in it that that crop does NOT need to thrive and reach maximum production.. It does not start at the farm, it starts with the decisions consumers make on their food choices. Those that want good whole foods with all around good nutrition then those choices are available to everyone who wants them. When I learned to only eat whole foods with only one word on the ingredient list in two years I lost 131 pounds and all all my health issues that were a mile long disappeared. It was me that that had to make the right decision's not the farmer. I have kept every pound off for almost 5 years now. Who is going make farmers apply nutrients that their crops do NOT need????
You're doing a fantastic job! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
cost of product should be based on nutrient density. low grain price for less dense and higher got more, same in meats
That would be a perfect scenario to achieve!
So who will set the standard of nutrient density and who is going to test every bushel of grain to see that it meets that standard.???? And what if some buyers only want cheap grain and does not care about the standards???? Are growers going to be aloud to grow grain for them??? It sounds like a whole lot of Government red tape, regulations and cost to me.!!!!
Great concepts, too bad we can't translate that to the medical industrial complex. No standard of quality only standard on what the insurance company will pay
You are correct. Another huge effort in the arena is under way!

Food should be local! Bottom line and the solution to the problem is, raise it OR buy it local. I don’t feel like food was ever meant to be grown, raised, produced and processed on a large scale mass production…the solution? Keep it small and local. This means more local farms, local gardens, and local growers…(whichever terminology fits your situation) TY RFK Jr
