Same here! Just had a homemade lentil soup :) I'm trying to be more mindful and actually know where my food is coming from and what the process is, so this video was super helpful.
There's lots of "guys like these" across the northern plains. While I farm in the US just south of the border with Saskatchewan in Montana, everything they talk about is standard knowledge for any respectable producer. Farmers can be trusted, and most of us do what's best for the health of our soil and our operation.
Purchased a bag of lentils from local Costco and was surprised to read product of Canada. This lead me to some online research on lentil production and found out Canada is the largest producer of lentils. Clicked on the link regarding lentil production which brought me here. Very informative and great to see a progressive and sustainable family farm. Cheers and thanks!!!
Intelligent farming is the only way we will have sustainability in food supply. Thank you to all the farmers that take educating themselves for their future and the future of all mankind. Please keep up the great job and pass on the information. 🥰🤩🙏

This was such an illuminating video-the first cheerful and optimistic news about the future of food production I've seen in a long time. What an admirable philosophy of farming!
@Jacob Dawson Good ol' ad hominem. The last bastion. The less you disturb the soil, the better. Just enough to put in a seed. They have machines for that, too.
I have gotta say, this is a really great video! Like the son in the video, I am also a young farmer from western Canada studying crop production. This video is spot on when explaining how we do what we do while being easy to understand. Farming is a highly complex and detailed operation, and you guys explained it perfectly without getting caught up in the details!
It is absolutely marvelous listening to you guys talking about crops. I feel very happy that so competent people are participating in food security. Thank you guys!
“Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life." These men are doing the Lord's work to feed & keep us all. May God bless them.
Great educational video about lentils. I am just appreciating the protein (and fiber!) of these little legumes, and it was fascinating to see how small the plants are. This family farm's approach to sustainable farming is terrific, and it's nice to know the son will take on the farm over time! Keep up the great work!
Very interesting and informative. I just started eating lentils a few years ago. Now I love lentils and cook with them often in my plant based diet. I'm amazed that there are only 2 lentils to a pod and the plants are so small. It seems like it'd be too much work to grow the plant and harvest it for those 2 little beans. And then they appear in my store where I buy lentils for less than a dollar per pound. I'm getting a tremendous value.
It's reassuring to listen to intelligent farmers talk about soil health and conservation. I am sure the undersowing method they demonstrate makes sound financial sense also. These guys are advocate s for food security. Thankyou☺
I just watched your video while having lentil soup with my Girlfriend .We wondered about the process and your video delivered .Thanks for all you do, it's very much appreciated. They're delicious !
As consumers, we are bless for the steps that your family have taken in preserving the environment. By preserving land, thus, preserving (by feeding) humanity. Thank you and God bless.
I just started growing lentils from seed inside my apartment because I don't have a garden. They sprouted in a day! It's unbelievable how they grow so fast. I'm looking forward to a nice harvest of lentils :-)
This is good husbandry. Let's hope farmers everywhere follow suit. I'm a lentil lover from way back. Zero percent carbon footprint, I love them more than ever.
I love lentils. I eat them several times per week! They are easy to cook, healthy, cheap and delicious. Thank you for being so considerate with the environment when producing my favorite legume.
Thank you for this video, highlighting the role pulses play in the human diets, as well as its role in maintaining natural soil fertility over the long-term. Yes, as the world grapples with GHG emissions that causes climate-change, humanity is also encouraged to more away from animal-based protein to plant-based protein. Thank you for your work and service in providing this alternative - lentil production - is very encouraging. I write to you from a small island country of the Western Pacific - Papua New Guinea.🌿🌾🍃🌽
What a super informative video thank you. We eat a lot here on Crete, Greece and make a dish called fava. I was looking online for how to grow them and found this. My husband grows all of our veg on our land and a gentle nudge is now imminent, for him to try these. Thanks
@Jacob Dawson first of all, why you cant eat lentils raw? Because uncooked its uneatable and would hurt your stomach. Lentils have to be cooked very well, without any seasoning it taste like shit. Even when its cooked lentils still containing some of the antinutrients, I eat them sometimes by my self but you should not eat them in large amount like nuts. You are fine with them when u have a balanced diet.
As a permacultureist I LOVE this! Keeping the soil microbes in place and not destroying the top soil and drying it out is very important. I'm glad to see "conventional " farming is heading in the right direction and conserving our the soil food web, in turn conserving, time, money, resources, and the most important leaving a better world for the future generations, because they will need it, with what's going on in the world today. Im trying to team up with my local FFA to spread the word of sustainable and regenerative agriculture and teach about the importance of "little to no till" methods to keep the networks of fungi and bacteria connected. The microbes did make the very first world wide web (soil food web). As Jeff Lowenfels put it (look him up he wrote some books about it, Teaming with Fungi and Teaming with Microbes). Ya'll are great teachers.
Very encouraging. I have begun to try indoor-germinated lentils outdoors on an amateur basis on thin poor soil over shale, prone to summer drought in otherwise damp Cornwall, and will move to the no-till method now.
Thank you, that was very interesting! I grew up (in Germany) with farmers and gardeners. We grew beans and peas, but nobody ever grew lentils. I’d always wondered where lentils are grown. I lived in California most of my life. During the pandemic the shelves were bare of lentils. I ordered some from Washington State, Palouse, I think they came from. They were smaller than the lentils I was used to buying in the store. They tasted the same, and they were brown. But still, I’d never seen a lentil plant until I watched this video. I like the efforts you’re making to hang on to your top soil and your stewardship of the land. Maybe you should give some lessons to the almond farmers in California!
I'm so thankful that you're making sure to keep a topsoil cover, and not just leaving bare ground in between grows. huge respect for you guys
what exactly would happen to the soil and local environment if the topsoil cover was neglected?

This father and son did an amazing job explaining things. Very articulate
What a hope inducing video! It's beautiful to see that the food we eat comes from people who care about soil health. Thank you
Our future would be in good hands with guys like these.

Lentil sprouts are excellent. Mumm's in Canada is the best supplier: high quality and affordable.

Good to see no-till farming.
@Jacob Dawson You are flat out wrong. Tilling compacts the soil and destroys the life in it.

@Jacob Dawson You may be confusing tilling with amending. If you churn clay, it's still clay.
Which website can we buy lentils from?
Lentils are the best. People don't realise how delicious and versatile they are and how good for the planet .😊

Whole heartedly, Thank you so much for all you do.
Beautiful !! Great Canadians. Lovely, most informative piece. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your farming practices are commendable. 😀
Thank you for Lentils!
Very interesting video! I was just looking at growing in my garden. Never thought about it being a regenerative crop on such a large scale. Thank you!
Great video! Thank you for this. Robert in New Jersey
So happy you don't till the soil and you cycle crops. Lentils are so underrated on so many levels. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate your
Video and wish you all the best👍
This type of farming kills the entire planet, ploughing, spraying, no trees or natural wildlife, just bare flat farmland dries up the earth
Great to see you using covercrop and no till farming, and thank you for farming the lentils that I eat every week!
Brilliant film. Thanks. I’ve just grown a few lentils in my garden in Scotland, I didn’t know how they grew.
Thank God for these farmers
Love seeing how our food is grown!!
