- This is an incredible visual explanation on a mini scale of Natural Sequence Farming.
1. Kickstarting the hydrology of land.
2. Managing energy (plant, animal and fertility using water and the hydrology of the land).

Regenerative Farming is taking a surge forward into our future, name any problem we face today and when you follow the trail back to grassroots, the answer is Regenerative Farming. Health; both mental and physical, environment on land, rivers and the sea, the atmosphere, the entire food system, education and a circular economy.
These videos are to help connect farmers and consumers to each other and to our land. We have to Listen to Country before it is too late.

Excellent video thanks.
These courses should be mandatory for anyone farming or planning to farm.
You can't drive a vehicle without a licence, farming shouldn't be any different.
Persistent 'old school' farming & chemicals involved have destroyed a vast amount of land.
Watching this video, I wondered how many ppl standing there actually understood what was being presented? I presume only a few will take the practical advice on board.
Farming needs to be run with correct management, like any other business, if it's not working, close it down or let someone else takeover.
Government handouts & grants have gone towards helping the farmer continue their destructive practices & not solved the actual issues that are caused by farmers & not just climate.
Great video
#SAVESOIL A Global Movement WE ALL NEED TO GET BEHIND!!
I could watch these all day, there is so much extra information shared in the side conversations and questions as well.
Indeed this is multi layered. I often learn so much more by editing these videos. Thank you for your comment.
This is so good.
Thank you.
đây chắc là một khu rừng, rất đẹp. những chỗ đất chống kia bạn có thể trồng cây mắc ca bổ xung rừng và đem lại kinh tế cho nông dân khá tốt, tôi đang trồng cây mắc ca thấy hiệu quả rất cao
In the wheel tracks I would drill holes and add perforated pipe vertically to catch the flow every few feet. Not sure how far apart but I don’t know the rain fall there. The soil removed could be spread around the existing area. I would try four inch pipe. Try a small test area. To make sure it will work. Good luck.
this was a great video. if your on land without a creek or river, am i right in saying you could achieve the outcome that you get from creek/river systems by creating ponds with contours stepping down the parcel of land? any advice or references to book etc would be great. thanks all happy new subscriber
Fantastic and welcome. Yes the thoughts are to bring the creek life higher up so that your land benefits from all the diversity water catchments create.
Yes there are probably several books but these 2 authors I’d recommend for you to read.
PA Yeoman - water for every farm.
Peter Andrews- Back from the Brink AND Beyond the Brink.
The video here is Stuart, Peter’s son.
PA is no longer with us but his son Ken lives near me and I have got Ken on camera but I haven’t edited it yet.
All are Australian and understand landscape function.
Also Stuart talks to me ITBOTU and it’s one of my favourite yarns so check that out in the Playlist section.
@@FarmingRevolution thanks very much. ill get those books. look forward to learning more. thanks for the reply
Whats your thoughts on Dr Christine Jones work what the landscape was wild Flower plus plus ?
What is documented is grasslands similar to meadows and the soil was so soft.
That’s what the early settlers reported so I tend to believe we’ve created the landscape we see today.
Interestingly their are also recent reports to do with too many trees in the riparian zones dropping too much leaf litter into the waterways and contaminating with tannins.
All I know is that with careful management we can regenerate this sacred land. That means holistic and diverse approach.
Great question thanks.
Recreate a step diffusion system of gravity fed hydroponics. Half perennials, half annual grassland. Funny I planted macadamia already lol
The reason you have no annual grasses or vegetation is because no one lets plants go to seed. The whole concept of grazing is wrong. Let everything go to seed, graze it and let it go to seed again and pull animals off. I de stock in the summer and stock in the winter. In the desert that’s the only way to graze.
Timed rotational grazing absolutely. If people listen to country she will tell you what you need to know.
In degraded country where rain is infrequent a little mechanical help goes along way to help keep water on country longer. Especially when there is very little soil carbon or soil organic matter.
Thanks for your input, letting plants go through the full cycle is essential.
Swales are fundamentally flawed and everyone is doing it and teaching it. Digging a trench to generate dirt to build a berm and hold a tiny amount of water compared to the surface area is absurd. Berms not swales are the only way to go. Swales on contour only, is so idiotic it’s unbelievable. Now the way you make a drought proof system is you build a series of berms on contour but you MUST have berm perpendicular to those berms on contour. The berms system should be closed on all four sides to make a # pattern. The land dictates the size and spacing of those berms. If it’s on a slope you can leave out the up hill berm only if the amount of water will not over run the down hill berm or the side berms. Make the berms 12” to 18” inches high with a Berming disk. Wheel roll it to compact the berm and if it flattens out run the disk again till the berm is the right height. With one big rain the the berm and side berms will hold water and spread it across the surface and not in a small ass swale. The key is to grow grass and spread water across the surface of the land not in a narrow swale. With the side berms you will flow water up hill. This concept is not new ever damn farmer who has ever flood irrigated has perfected this concept just apply that concept to ever square inch of land, or square foot, acres or 5 acres or 500 acres. I make my area 90’x 312’ I’m sloping them .50% with a 0.00% slope. Ones property should never lose a drop of water. Think of it as putting out 5 gallon buckets it doesn’t mater the amount of rain it won’t fill the buckets when you start thinking of your land the same way you can handle the biggest rains. Plant native grasses and build berms on spacings that would never be over ran by rain.
You need a real microphone on your shirt. The sound is terrible 😣
Thanks for the forgiving feedback!
