40 years ago, a Farm Bureau representative said to me, "The world would starve without insecticides and herbicides. Organic farming would never feed be able to produce what we need." I'm happy to see him being proven wrong.
@@DavidJamesquoracy I kind of doubt he was a vegan, but back then the Farm Bureaus were brainwashed to believe what the chemical manufacturers were pushing. They just repeated what was told to them by the "higher ups", as in so many other industries.
You just need more arable land and water to produce the same amount. So you want less natural land. Nobody pays for fertilizer and pesticide to grow less.
In Russia, in my village in Kazan, it is a traditional practice to feed and nuture your soil if you want to have good crops to feed and nurture you. We, when I was a child, saw that my village plants mustard greens first and once they are nearing to maturity they are spade and turn over to provide free nitrogen and compost-humus into the soil. And my village plant rows of densely planted giant Russian sunflowers spaced apart equal to their matured height so that they can act as windbreaks and as snow breaks to gather snow and to keep the snow in place so as to provide water and moisture for our crops planted in the fall or autuum and produce a sizable crop harvests in the spring after winter. Others plants radishes which you Americans call tillage radishes with a nitrogen-fixing living perennial mulch called kura clover (and others) and planting giant Russian sunflowers as windbreaks and as snow breaks. The radishes' roots drills right into the soil during the late summer alongside with the perennial kura clover, and as the radishes matures it has already raised the deep mineral nutrients from the deep subsoil layers and bolts or self-seeds it's entire roots which are the tap roots and lateral roots and root hairs ferments into humus and provides the soil with nutrients and humus while the perennial kura clover's roots keeps intact the open spaces left behind by the radishes' roots as it's roots ferments into humus and is consumed by the kura clover and by other soil microorganisms in the soil. Then we plant the winter crops deeply to a depth of 6 to 8 inches right through the nitrogen-fixing perennial living mulch of kura clover (and others) which will become our spring harvests. In Siberia we have to plant deeply to a depth of 6 to 8 inches to protect the germinating seeds from the frosts. In your America, the American Hopi Indian corn can be planted down to a depth of 6 to 18 inches. 2:51 hopi corn planted deeply down to 6 to 18 inches ua-cam.com/video/28gAFESNGMU/v-deo.html . In most Kazan farms, we now mix our seedgrains with a mixture of bio-activated composite rock dust powder mixture and bio-activated biochar powder to further increase their survivability and yields and nutritional quality and root penetration depth as deeply as possible.
@@tireddad6541 The question is, who can do such a project? I am now 94 years old and too old to do such video-audio documentary which will take months up to a year or two recording everything and translating everything into English.
My family are not farmers. Maybe backyard gardeners. My grandfather once told me that we are just custodians of the land " as it will be here way after we have gone " and if we can leave it more fertile than we found it then we have done our job well.. I believe that Carbon is the key to good soil. Your doing great, keep it up..
Nice. This is what anyone in the city who complains about anything regarding farming needs to do! Not necessarily start to farm but support these farmers. I am so close to this reality. Baby steps saving for everything. These vids make it seem even more possible! A person can't get to step 10 without 4-5-6 I guess eh lol.
Looks amazing! Excellent job and good looking animals. On the other hand, everything I've ever grown from LSU either needed tons of fertilize, pesticide and attention or was sub- quality in some other fashion. They're the very last and I do mean LAST that I would listen to. Perhaps they're getting a little better. I certainly hope so.
Incredible documentary love seeing the second revolution of agriculture underway! I am curious how long have they been active on this land and how long have they been doin g this form of farming?
A good friend of ours has a goat farm not far from yours. They do a lot of business selling goat milk soap. I need to look into the AG extension to get some planning
Beautiful video. i think that washing eggs may be a bad idea,because the egg shell is not sealed in order to provide oxygen to the check, when washing it you can end up inserting what you are trying to clean of it ,in to it. That is the story we grew up with, But It might be not true. Good luck guys.
Natural truth has no boundaries,we have to be in harmony with nature...I am an available student to learn and volunteer or an extra pair of hands to get dirty and work... thank you
“It’s sacred” When God created Adam and Eve he put them in a garden and said look after it. We were made to look after the earth it’s our God given responsibility
The cumulative effect of ag on human health is going to knock a decade off of life expectancy, and the 1% who get it, who I farm for, will probably gain another 10 years over time. However, if you think that organic label means jack crap, your mistaken. The corporations have hijacked that movement. It’s become a short term volume centered space, requiring methods that have a much worse impact on the environment than much of the conventional farming methods currently trending.
Those pigs are confined in a mud hole and killing all those trees. The "rotated" chickens are on dirt, literally. The goats are eating scrub brush that can barely return. And yes, I do have a farm with chickens, guineas, and sheep. This is just overgrazing, plain and simple.
Not if those pig's are in an area that's doing a job & the pig's mud hole is there to keep them cool. Chicken's are only being seen in 1 area, doesn't mean they never move. It's a 10 mins video that don't show much of their place.
@@joshblick not necessarily on an aerial shot it shows their chicken's being moved to a grassier (albeit not lush) space. Goat's are browser's, they'll go for tree's & brambles before they'll go for grass (given an option), chicken's like bug's, grass, berries, etc. Including dirt, if they find something edible, plus since they are following other animal's then they spread our the manure for the bug's & grain or whatever feed they can get. Our chicken's will eat dog poo as well as go thru the horse's or cow or goat manure, they also go thru the pig's to find out what they might nor have processed. They don't have to be fed chicken feed to survive. I have a boar that roots abt a foot down looking for worms & any other edible thing he can get to. I put him & 2 sows into a quarter acre paddock. He bulldozed all the grass up against the fence that made a good border & knocked out the hot wire for a while. The girl's made a hole big enough to fit them both in while he made a shallower one. We gave them a wallow to soak in (my girl's prefer a tub instead of the mud ... a little odd for pig's) chicken's where in & out of that dirtlot, didn't touch the grass that was left. After the pig's were put back in their pen, I reseeded it & turned it into a bachelor pad for my Bucks & bull's. They overgrazed it, by a lot, but it's grown back lush & more plant variety then what it has last yr, perfect for Goat's. Their shelter are & where they mainly got fed turned from a soggy squishy area into this beautifully rich soil that I've turned a temporary garden space that will also be reseeded with pasture seed shortly, to provide a cover crop of sorts for the veggies to get nutrients from, protect the soil & help conserve the moisture around the veggies, as well as give the boy's or our weaned Doeling's something to eat this fall, while the boy's are doing their job. I bet if these guy's showed a current view of their place it wouldn't look as bad. But changes to soil that's been crap for yrs takes time. But I'm no expert, not even on my place. 😊

He was probably a vegan. Vegans can't square that circle.

So nice my frend
I wish they told us what their rotation of animals was. She said they start with grazers, but do they mix species? Where do the pigs fit in?
Thanks!
Goat, cow, chicken, pig it looked like
What is a cooling farm, some where to go to get out of the hot sun?
Nice video
Beautiful video.

In the US it is required. I think in Europe, it is forbidden. Go figure.
Natural truth has no boundaries,we have to be in harmony with nature...I am an available student to learn and volunteer or an extra pair of hands to get dirty and work... thank you
The math doesn’t work for me. .25 acre with a total of 4 acres. Waiting 30 days to return animals…. That be 16 days right?
“It’s sacred” When God created Adam and Eve he put them in a garden and said look after it. We were made to look after the earth it’s our God given responsibility
I love the example of Adam and eve in the garden, we can fine so much in God's creation to help us understand his nature and what is good for us.
