I enjoyed this video, and I hope that we have more farmers who will practice regenerative agriculture.
Me too. Thank you sweet lady. 😊
Logan, thanks for sharing this documentary with us. Great lessons of wisdom from someone who learned the hard way...life lessons. Great insights that people can apply wherever they live in the country/world and help bring life back to their community. The fly-over states are where change is happening and will continue to happen. It's going to take commitment to hard work but the outcome is well worth the effort. Keep up the great work, Logan.
We've got this! Thank you so much 🙏🏼
This was a wonderful documentary! I hope it inspires others towns and farmers and that it becomes a movement towards eco-friendly farming. But first, we have to support our local farmers!!!
Thank you and I agree! ❤️
Fantastic 👏🏻 . Thanks Logan
Glad you liked it!
Great documentary. And all shot within a single day and with only 2 people. Fantastic.
I wish all people involved in this endeavour all the best - greetings from Germany🇩🇪.
Thank you so much. It was a great experience. ❤️
Thank you!
I'm reading. I'm watching. I'm listening. I'm planning. Life isn't ideal to start any of this right now. But one day... soon. I hear you, Mr. Harris. No. I >feel< what you're saying. You and all the others building regenerative farms.
You got this! 💪
@SowingProsperity , husband is going through a serious health crisis. There are things I think I can do. ...maybe plant cover crops after I get soil tested. 🤔 I'm slowly sneaking up on a plan.
Hi Logan, thanks for getting out there and connecting with folk like Will, Gabe, Joel etc. & exploring their stories & operations, and providing access to this through your videos and podcasts.
As a foreign language speaker (English 😊) the captioning / transcripts across the screen really help where the combo of audibility & accent (the deep south drawl in this case) combine to make it difficult to follow some bits of the conversation and get value out of the content.
Its probably quite a feat of work to caption all the discussions but id encourage you to consider doing so for more of the contents of this particular video documentary so that its more shareable for those places where English is a foreign language or folk are unfamiliar with particular accents.
Greetings from Southern Africa; another place where heart, mind, landscape and livelihood regeneration is so relevant too.
Thank you, enjoying the journey with you guys.
And thank you to Will, Gabe, Joel and the others that you've visited with or interviewed for sharing your farms and knowledge and stories with us.
I appreciate your message! You make a wonderful point. Thank you. I know I definitely have a Southern accent compared to many. Your support means the world.
Thanks Logan; your narration is mostly easy to follow for english-speaking viewers
Loved it! Great information that needs to be out there.
Thank you!
What a great model Will has developed. Thanks Logan for the inspiring video.
It's a fascinating model! Thank you
We’ll done!
Thank You!
1:30 This is very well done and gives me hope for the future. The beef and chicken I buy from Logan and Neva at Me & McGee tastes so much better than what I can buy at a grocery, I can’t go back.
We love y'all. Thank you for everything ❤️
Awesome! At the 14 minute mark he mentions they don't want to pay $x for food, but he doesn't mention they'll shell out over a $1000 for a cell phone. Which do you need to live? Go ahead, eat your cell phone, try it! Plus, when he mentions can we feed the whole of the population or do we need to have a combo regenerative & industrial farming. We need zero industrial in my opinion. Why are we growing corn for fuel? Why do we throw away over 30% of food as waste in stores, restaurants, etc over a few specks on an apple or other fruit or veggies because of a blemish. With the obesity in our society, I think we can surely decrease the size of a helping of food as well. We have been brainwashed into a culture of waste, waste, waste. We need some reprogramming and self respect for ourselves, the land and the animals we grow.
I sure can't argue with you. We just have to keep having these conversation and supporting the ones doing the work. 🙏🏼
Excellent! Watch this to see what you should be eating. Thank you Me & McGee Market.
Thank you, my friend!
Thanks for the great information. So inspiring!
Thank you!
Well worth the watch. As a commercial poultry grower I can tell you that this is what we all should be aiming for, whether it is steering our own operations this way, or simply purchasing more of our items we use everyday from folks that are doing it this way. Most thing that amount to anything, and are worth anything, start small.
Amen!
I can't even imagine what the local government would do if people in Colorado try to do any of this stuff .land of the free to shut up read the rule book and get back in line ; 😡👎
sure would be nice to see some good grass in the film instead of cows in a wintering area
Yes, it was January and just two of us to film over a span of a day. Our focus was more on the resilience of the food system rather than on regenerative agriculture practices. There are already excellent documentaries like "Carbon Cowboys" and "Kiss the Ground" that cover those aspects well. 😊
This is how it should be, but just an observation: “Externalized prices . . .”
Corporations brought us industrialized farming, driving down cost for better and worse. Most consumers work for those corporations, which have driven down costs largely through driving down labor costs. If you look at the retail prices on this farms products, your average consumer is priced out, BECAUSE they work for the corporations that industrialized farming.
Don’t get me wrong - this is TERRIFIC. But it is very niche, because sick or not, your average consumer cannot afford the product and still pay for everything else required for life.
I think there is a lot of hope and we can overcome the downside of the corporatocracy we live in.
I believe if 25% of the population used 25% of their food budget for locally-grown food, especially meat, a monumental shift would occur.
This audio stinks
My bad
This guy still has the wrong mindset on debt though, there’s literally no reason at all to go into debt for regenerative farming
Hard to argue with what he's built and accomplished utilizing debt to build a profitable business.
@@SowingProsperity not really, his expenses are that of a conventional farmer still. He talked about some of his beef and business side of the farm in a different interview with Carbon Cowboys
