    Great video, John. Sometimes answers aren’t cut and dried, and a good farmer learns to adjust and live by the seat of his pants. I’ve been kicking around the pig impact question for a couple years now. I found your video encouraging and I’ve used the 2 circles for grazing cattle and chickens. I see now that it can work for pigs as well. I look forward to trying it. I also appreciated your comment about crowd sourcing your education. You tube has certainly done that for me, and I am grateful to contributors like you who give and give so that so many of us can reap the benefits (pun intended).

    Agreed.. so many variables.. I’m sure different breeds will give u different results too.. I have two Berkshires on a semi strict diet.. I feed them twice a day and they get snacks on occasion.. No unlimited feed so they are aggressively tilling my forest floor.. Within two weeks they have 500/600 sq ft completely torn up!

    Does your friend in Iowa have a UA-cam? I don’t know who you are talking about but they sound interesting

    How long do you rest the pasture after moving the pigs?

    Do you have any “going to market” videos?

    I also have about 14 acres of usable pasture, but mine is all covered in logging truck ruts. They are about a foot and a half deep. Do you think pigs could till/plow those areas flat, or would that be too much for them to flatten out? This year at least, everything is very very very wet.

      Life by Brian Aquatics I think using pigs to repair the ruts is a great idea. Go for it and share your results with other farmers. That’s how we learn. (I’ve been chomping at the bit to get a few head of cattle on a mountainside near me that is currently being logged.)

      If you put them in tight to the spots you want worked they will help. You will have to do some leveling

      Thanks guys, I will keep the idea in mind for when I'm ready to get some pigs. I would put them in mobile netting, tightly confined/highly stocked, and move them as soon as the ground was sufficiently torn up. I'm not in a hurry to get it flat. I'm thinking a year or two of moving pigs over it and weather will do the trick a lot cheaper than getting heavy equipment out here to do it in one go.

      They will loosen the dirt in that area , before it settles you could grater blade or drag it. Also throw down some corn in certain spots will give them incentive to work that area,

    Hi. Are you planning a bee update, and, how long does it take to fill an IBC with a regular garden hose and/or do you farm rainwater?

    There's a lot of variations.
