bill gates says a cow causes more pollution than a car, well lock me in a garage with a cow, and bill in a garage with a running car and we'll compare results tomorrow.
Bill would request and electric car, I will still take the cow.
yeppers....I've seen that little video clip....ya know...Bill Gates only matters if you let him matter to you right?
Yeah, Bill Gates is smart.That's all stupid and he really is
And yes by the way the animals was here way before bill gates
@ Shane..An excellent idea. Gates should have stuck with computers and operating systems.
Send this video to EPA, all of Congress and MSM!!!
yep...won't do a thing....because it's all about that fake money they're printing to make us think we have something!
They would all just say "this is lies and propaganda!" But we all know the truth.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer you are very true about this
Great lesson keep it up
They are not farmers.
There should be kids that don't know nothing
As an organic ex-farmer, you are absolutely correct!
you need N-P-K but its already there you just need to make it available to your cash crop and grass.
exactly! The problem is that a man can't make a living producing his cash crop without fertilizers....120 years ago the human population and drive towards cheap food, as well as nobody growing their own food nowadays has pushed the farmer to the brink of extinction and thus ya have to fertilize and utilize all of your land v/s allowing fields to lay fallow or graze for a year. We live in a strange time and we'll look back in 100 years and be ashamed of what we've done...at least that's my opinion...or maybe in 100 years we'll just make all of our food in a lab!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer We have industrialised farms. No more generalising in everything green...it's all just one, two, maybe three crops. And the farmer goes into town to get his food. There even BIG farms where...they don't have any livestock...not even a single chicken! What happened to the days of Green Acres with the farmer growing his own food?
i'm glad you talked about living soil Josh.
So much of what Josh says is correct, I studied ecology, the vital cycles and ended up specialising in the symbiotic relationships between fungi and plants, that was in 2014/15. Through family health issues I have spent the last 24 months researching diet and food production to such an extent that I'm looking to get into regenerative farming myself; I'm 58 so in the right demographic😄👍 From the research I have done, and from the information already out there (Paris COPP where 126 countries signed up to regen farming but it never made it into the final document) I do not understand why the greenies are not all over this; well I do, it is all about globalist control and overreach. Only 43 days until Peter Byke's research based film "Roots so Deep" becomes available, at that point we need to flood our political representatives, not overlords, with links to the documentary film.
Bill Gates, f'wit, cutting down trees to bury them as a form of carbon capture, get back to annoying us with non-carbon based bugs and leave the real ones alone✌
folks just don't know this information...they simply don't get the exposure to the outdoors, elements and they've made their minds up from hearing the same propaganda over and over again....plant based, vegan, organic all of these are wonderful, but life requires more than just plants!!
9:51 the cows really want the hay from the bale 😂
Josh , some of the Best information you could share. We are currently doing the same !
I live in the Middle Rio Grande Valley and my land was so hard and depleted, you could bounce a pick axe of it! So got with local tree trimers to have them dump their daily loads off here over a 3 year period... Back to Eden style; well I can go to any area and by hand, dig up the moist soil and find worms and grasses... I'm running a Chicken/Turkey Ranch producing organic eggs! I'm near Retirement from IT work and plan on a massive expansion of the farm in the coming years :)
Dan's Chicken Ranch raising fresh organic Butt Nuggets :)
The Carbon Cycle has been around for a long time. Long grass that burns along side a road comes back green while the long grass that does not is brown.
I enjoyed this one more than most of your posts Josh. Nicely informative and well done. Thank you
Love what you’re doing and hope and pray for your farm.
And a BIG THANKS to you for this informative video ! Everything you said is "naturally" correct and so anti-commercialized mass farming. Keep up the great work !
I was up early or was I up late
either way saying hello. From Michigan.
Lucky Edmonds in Candler NC , you all doing a good job thank you
I just love to see how Donny the bull got in the first day on the farm he was so funny
he's coming along isn't he!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer one great looking bull for sure
Your channel really has a really great information. Keep it coming. ❤❤
N P K Nitrogen Potassium Phosphorus.
Yes, I had to look up the K. 😊
Wooooo!!!
Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium
@@johnlynn6291 yep, I’m definitely not a chemist 😜
It's that damned graphene we need to worry about, and they are now adding it to our foods and bev esp mlk. The symbol for it is a hexagon. Don't trust anything w that symbol on it w/o testing it. I found it in sgr/frt/mlk, and likely in other things too. Baking/boiling seems to diz able the stuff.
I hope to try this in a shady yard (without animals) seeds, hay, then manure over top of that. I prefer clover seeds because I really am not looking for a "manicured" lawn. I hope this method will work for me.
Very informative, Josh!! Thank you
Green is beautiful..I am loving your results.
The world is full of stupid lies. The Earth does not move.
Please clarify this buddy....I'm curious
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Well we all went into a satanic institution of indoctrination as infants (known as kindergarten) where we were all sat on the floor and told the story of Columbus and learnt to mock the ancient belief the Earth was flat and you could sail off the edge. Supplemented by this was hours of daily programming with a hypnotic device, the tell-lie-vision, and Hollywood programming - all designed to get you to question the truth (The Bible) and to believe stupid lies.... to get to the point: The Earth is exactly how it is described in the Bible (read the first chapter again) we live under a Firmament (glass dome) that separates the waters (oceans) from the waters (The Great Deep). It will take some time to come to terms with the truth because of the intense indoctrination. Just look at what they teach children today at school. The Earth is fixed and built upon foundations that can never be moved. Psalms 104:5. As a farmer you understand how water works. The Earth is mostly ocean waters and they are held in or bound by a great ice wall known as Antartica. See the Gleason's Map or UN flag. The stars are not trillions of light years away and the Earth is not spinning at 1000 mph whilst moving at over a millioin miles per hour as NASA (means deceiver in Hebrew) claims. There is more but keep it simple at first - The Earth does not move. If it was moving or a ball then you yourself should be able to prove that. Just think about it for a while and pray. God is directly above you. Heaven has its foundation on the firmament which has its foundation on the Earth which rests on pillars that don't move. Don't be a mocker and a scoffer. Investigate and find the truth. Rob Skiba's "Debating FE 101" is a good video to start.
Proof's in the pudding and you have incredible results from your regimen! Enjoyed
Awesome information Josh!
It’s not the cow, it’s the how.
Thanks Josh, you are 💯% on point. Most farming practices are still stuck in the mid 1900s, just with bigger equipment and even more synthetics. Frankly it is barbaric. Better to understand nature instead of trying to manipulate it.
it's all about quick profit and quick fix...and we'll pay dearly for it in our future!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer
Agreed. IMHO it is wiser to accept delayed gratification and reap long term profit, health, and peace of mind.
I did a little research and found out that a few bags of lime and seeds cant harm within the first few years of managing the pasture. Right?
Lime and grass seed are pretty much normal for any pasture. I’m not sure about a couple bags but we’ll spread 2 tons of lime per acre to help the ph if needed
The Dirt-y truth cheers hope your finding way to beef sales Josh.
Best David
I own a plant nursery and we have about a half acre of land we use to make rich soil. We have goats roaming over it giving it the great richness we need plus any dead or unsellable plants. When the goats are moved we send in the chickens. I have 5 acres we are currently not using because we tore down some old greenhouses. Our plan is to make grazeable for cows and goats. I think your idea of using hay bails is an idea we will look into. Thanks for all your information.
You can do the same using sawdust and or woodchips. They build the soil when they break down. There's vids of ppl turning true desert sand into usable plantable soil. See if u have any sawmills around and fet some sawdust or chips. Or get a mulching machine and branches nobody wants.
@@kellycarver2500 Oh my goodness. I did not think of using sawdust. Thank you. We have several mills around my area. I will look into that.
@@donnamurillo We were in the sawmill business over 20 yrs here in N.Oh. I sold a lot of it. Lol. Slabs, too, for firewood. I bet if you had one of those small chipper/mulchers, you could go to a mill and they would let you HAVE the small slab sticks that come off. The slab buyers never want them anyway, and tear up the pile to get past them, or throw them aside. Or ask landscapers to save the chips for you, or give them permission to dump chips there. Lots of options. Lol. Take care.
@@kellycarver2500 Hi, Kelly. I don't have a chipper as of yet. Something we are working on. We have a 2/3 small patch that needs to be dealt with. The goats really did a number clearing but left a lot of branches.
So we will be looking into that also. Thanks for all the ideas.
I do it every day! And it works!
Great stuff
Lot of experts out there!
Great video Josh. Curious if you did an update video on the results of your experimentation with spraying that microbe mix last fall. I am interested in what you thought about it.
Worked pretty good as far as I can tell...but most certainly not the miracle cure
Wow Josh I surely could have used your advise years ago , people said get soil sample then get proper fertilizers . Had little to no help doing farm and a small business plus home then there was always fixing broken equipment. You have the correct plan and carrying it through . God bless you my friend.
takes time to heal, just like our bodies. When we choose a quick fix pill...we're never addressing the true underlying problem...nature will "fix it" is we just give nature what she needs
Do you still have south poll cattle?
I have a south pol bull
Beautiful drone footage- what drone do you use??
Thanks!!
Hey Josh thank you for the video woo
Josh, you would make an excellent 4-H teacher. Maybe you should offer occasional field trips for 4-H classes to come learn REAL 'green' farming!
😁👍
Josh, I'm not a farmer, I'm a nurse, but it has always seemed to me that life flourishes when it's balanced. It works for us humans...(good nutrients, low stress, no extraneous chemicals, ) so it totally makes sense for cattle and grass. Feed them what they need, no extraneous chemicals (unneeded meds, fertilizers that aren't natural......etc.)
Adding carbon to the land in the form of hay only makes sense too. All life, as we know it, is carbon based......(I know, preaching to the choir, )...... so adding carbon gives back the building blocks for life, so the circle can start again.
The only thing I don't like is the fact that your land was abused to the point where you've had to spend so much money and effort to rejuvenate it.
Amazing job!! I want some of your beef ?? 😮😮
Good video
Your best video to date
Great Video one question do you ever rake drag the fields to spread the manure piles out.
ua-cam.com/video/CPklE_0KjBM/v-deo.html check this one out!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thanks for sharing I must have missed that video.
Hey Josh, the one thing that I haven't seen you do or talk about is using compost tea on your land to help with the microbial load. Would that also not be beneficial to your grass restoration? Just curious.
we could use compost tea on the gardens and in our plant beds....but on this scale of nearly 100 acres to keep fertilized...we simply can't make compost tea to feed that amount of land, therefore we spread compost and manure and let nature make the tea over time with the rain
go josh lots of love
How do you think this method would work in Colorado or Arizona? Looking at land there and it's just dirt not good soil like you got. Great videos btw.
when you live in the high desert country....and your grass is sparse, whit a short growing season... don't expect a miracle. Rotational grazing methods and bringing carbon to the land can't hurt, but when it takes 35 acres per cow....ya might consider a little different approach. That land in most cases has never been "farmed" but overgrazing it could set the land back 10 years v/s 2 years. Takes alot of land to feed a cow in the high desert country...and it's a very fragile enviroment
22:35 What brought about the change to not roll out the bales of hay? I think you mentioned in one of your older videos that the reason you rolled the hay out was to not concentrate the cattle in one spot. Thank you!
26:00 aww ok you explained there. Sorry about that. Should have watched the whole video lol
👍
Hello,I have gotten access to 60 acres of pasture that's been neglected for ten years or so,never had chemicals on it,we can't find baby cows,that's not from market and been worked up ,by the vet ,,do you have any advice on finding babies,would you sell us a few
Good video Josh ! Swales ? Maybe help keep more water on the land ? Saw the video on tree planting that should help also it’s a long process I know keep it up what’s the ph up to now ?
don't need swales when we have soil my brotha....I actually took out the swales on this land when I bought it....if the soil is right it will soak up that water. I am gonna try some sub soiling this year to see if we can break the hard pan up a little bit more and get more root penetration
Excellent idea! I look forward to that video!
...we should eat a little less meat and pay twice as much for it...we need more farmers like Josh...
one of my best buddies has just gone "vegan".....I just have to shake my head...mainstream media influence where we have educated ourselves out of ecology and into a concrete world where folks believe we herbivores! True story: A young woman friend of mine age 28 decided to get in shape...she and her family were chicken farmers. She stopped eating meat, started lifting weights and cycling. She lost about 40 lbs and all of the sudden...one of her knees started hurting. She'd developed an infection in that knee and it simply wouldn't heal. She couldn't even walk! She posted about this on facebook all the time, I called her up and asked her to do some research on vegan diet and infection risk......she started back to eating meat and wow....after multiple surgeries during her vegan life....she had no more surgeries, started back to eating high quality animal protein and her knee healed up!! Guess what she's doing now.....back to vegan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't make this crap up!
I've had veggie gardens since 1970s and have used horse manure. Chicken manure for the best fertilizer. We all know cow. Goats. Sheep horses makes the soil better. Chickens also.
Rabbits too, they say. But wood chips and sawdust also helps a LOT.
Amazing and enlightening video coincidentally right after reading a book called Sacred Cow.
what I am wondering is that the meat coming from this regenerative farming enough for all the meat loving people on earth.
I think factory farming has been created to produce more to meet the growing demand for the meat.
I really would appreciate it if you could coment on this.
at 17:17 the teet on the cow looks off, is there an issue with that cow?
yep....she got her teet stuck in the fence somehow and nearly cut it off last year...she's healed up good now but it's scared for sure
I have a question how do you grow corn or wheat without tillage and or spraying
look at what the native americans used to practice...they put a fish in the ground with every corn seed planted....we've gotten too big! Food is now someone else's responsibility....people are afraid of dirt, allergic to everything under the sun and literally adults only spend time recreating outdoors nowadays....it's a sad state of affairs....why can't a person grow a little back yard garden? Why do we need corn on the cob in November? Convenience has over ran ecology!
Sounds like you could work for True Green lawn care! haha just 'Joshing you'. Like your lesson. My hunch is the larger ranchers say they don't have time for or tp do that? I like your Biology material you spray (I call it worm tea, but it isn't). Maybe it's a Tortoise and the Hare story? Anyway, Wooo!
yep....makes me sick to see one of those "true green" creek killing chemical dependancy trucks driving down the road! It's all about "time"....takes me literally 15 mins to rotate the cows 2 times per day...so 30 mins per day of time to keep from spending $25k on fertilizer and building the soil...seems like a better plan to me
With all of the compacted land that you've shown us, I am wondering if you have considered aerating your soil? I know, its a big question, so no need to answer here. But, Could you Perhaps explain your thoughts on this in a future video?
Bio Health Systems for ponds. 😊
What breed of cows do you have?
black angus...but we're breeding in the south poll breed now with a new bull
Thanks Josh! Nice to hear someone speak with something under their hat other than helium!!!
That's not helium, it's filthy dollar signs in their eyes and demons in their brains.
Josh, I applaud your efforts in educating the general public in the virtues of soil regeneration.
Your passion comes across loud and clear.
Persevere, your efforts are not in vain.
We must also look forward to the time that Bill Gates has his Paul on the Road to Damascus moment and he sees the light, and differentiates between industrial feed lock production and regenerative agriculture.
Paul was blinded and God told him why are you persecuting my people? He was also allowing them to be killed.
Bill Gates only matters if you let him matter my friend.....put down the mainstream news media fear mongering and turn off that junk....we need to start living and stop with the ratings driven media!
What do you feed your dog(s)?
purina pro plan joint
Part of being a good farmer is being able to read your ground and there is nothing wrong with spraying or putting fertilizer down u can't raise weeds and expect stuff to grow the weeds will take everything over
You actually believe that spraying herbicides is a better answer over and above listening to your weeds? Look and listen......the plants that grow on your land are telling you what the soil needs my friend.....this is how we had to farm since the dawn of our species....we learned that certain "weeds" meant that there was a nutritional imbalance in the soil....funny...soil lacks limestone...it grows broomsedge, soil lacks iron...it grows more dandelion or moss.....open up the land....opportunistic weeds take over. We've gotta consider that the soil is talking to us...not look for the quick fix pill to take care of it my friend......the pill leads to nowhere! Just a dependency on the pill!! Why do ya think that year after year we have to dump the same "pill" on our land? Weeds are telling us what we need to do....the spray and fertilizer masks the bigger problem my brotha...what do you think about this idea? Old habbits are hard to break, but shouldn't we consider what the "weeds" are telling us?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer if you want a corp to need to do what it takes how do you expect to grow a corp with out spraying weed don't tell anything weeds are spread as a seed whether it's by birds or maturing out and going into head and spreading by wind
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer if your hay feeds are high on lime clover will grow on its own on tell me how u grow row crops with out some type of weed control and your fury on the salad bar of weeds for your cows is really out there control the weeds and grow better grass in your cows will do a lot better
You realize you have a soil neatness obsession….but it’s a good thing.The cows appreciate it.
I have a soil science obsession for sure...it's the entire reason I bought the farm! Totally!!
Do you reseed or just let the hay reseed??
And what breed bull is that??
He's likely oversexxed with all those girls. Lol. Pretty tho, isn't he? No wonder he doesn't chase the owner, he's too wore out by the time he sees him. Lol
I do some reseeding and the cattle "hoof in" the seed in some targeted areas on the farm...mainly we just let the hay do the seeding for us. Each hay bale has a "seed bank" that helps grow our fresh green grass. The hay save us a bunch of $$ in grass seed

The greatest environment disaster in America is the Salton Sea of California. Botanicals used for farming any of washing into Andrew and accidentally created in the sea in California. And and the water supply dried up. Play the only creatures living in remains of the Salton Sea of fish that have adapted to the toxic chemicals, the fish are inedible. Now the areas of the dry black bears have been carrying wind blowing toxins across all of the Southern States to your state I have been creating a respiratory problems for millions of people since the 1960s I believe it is. At the State of California has never done anything to clean up their environmental disaster. Check it out.
my understanding of the salton sea is that it dried up and the salts from the soil remained...might have to do a little more research on it myself.. It's an interesting story for sure isn't it!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer was fed by the Colorado River below Hoover Dam the cannel was dug to provide water for farms more water entered than planned creating a great lake in the salt beds. The chemicals used in farming eventually washed into the lake a great city was built and became the vacation center of Hollywood. Low water in the river prevented clean fresh water. Today all the chemicals you hate including arsenic become airborne the once thriving farms turned to dust. Few weeks ago the story of the greatest environmental disaster was posted by someone on Facebook. If you would do a search for it the Sultan Sea you may find the story.
Plad man :)
Cows 🐄 or lot better for the landscape
The Bible talks about tillage in a good way
It also says that Jonas lived in the belly of a whale for 3 days and 3 nights..... But the bible, as we well know isn't meant to be taken quite literally...and during biblical times there's no way they could even fathom the tillage of millions of acres or soil and the erosion of our precious top soil. One thing the bible does speak of...free will! Remember the dust bowl my brotha....how bout the ability for a person to learn how to feed themselves? You and I both know that we live in a world of less food responsibility than any other time in history....it's sad! Tillage to feed your family...sure.....irresponsible tillage that takes away our vital nutrients and destroys our soil life...I'm sorry but we've learned it's wrong. Wanna kill something...take away it's protection and sit it out in the hot sun my brotha....in 100 years we'll be ashamed of what we're doing...what do you think?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer you have to till or spray or kill weeds somehow till responsibility and it will be fine
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer and why was he in the fish in the first place and why did he survive
Josh do you ever lime
yes....we lime some pastures with very poor ph
goog
Repete
How many times u going to make a video about this
that one cows tit it is swollen up,need some care pay attention to the health of your stock
If this is not a hit over the center wall, well then I do not now what is. People, this man Josh is shows you everything you know and what is not wrong. If it fails, then you can learn from Josh's mistakes to right things. Josh is no expert in anyway, but he never has claimed he was. He teaches through experiences. Sit back and learn somethings that might be easier for you, and he has tried your way, so he is learning at the same time. Thank you on behalf of Josh SRF and if you like the video, I suggest that you go back to the 1st video and watch until you catch up, I did and if I wasn't on Hospice, I would make our small 1/3 archer would be fenced, and have some chickens (both egg layers & meat), a steer and a couple feeder pigs.
A good buddy of mine when I was 22 years old was laying carpet for me....I was flipping houses and buying up rental property. I had a small contracting business at the time...one day he was laying carpet and I asked his opinion on something in the house....I told him "I'm no professional"...he told me this and it stuck with me....."If you earn a living doing something....then you ARE a professional" that really stuck with me forever
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer You know, I never taught of it that way before. See, there's are leaning experience I am always referring to. You lean something new every day. When you quit learning, then it is time to clock out.
How are you gonna turn that in to that? By faking baler fires?
no idea what you're talking about buddy
I actually like your channel a lot And I like.
You and I like your family I love what you're doing with the land over there.I especially love the intro stony stony ridge Stony ridge FAR R. But a few years back, you posted a video. Where one of your components on your hey baylor got really hot and you poured water on it And it did a really mean sizzle. Like pouring hot water on red hot steel. But the component couldn't have gotten that hot except It was out of the frame and I believe that he had heated up a piece of iron and poured water over it since the Baylor portion was kept out of the frame.I've just been heckling you over that for the last couple of years here and there
Someone should tell the cattle hating eco-mentalists that, before the Europeans got here millions, if not tens of millions, of buffalo roamed most of the area that now have cattle ranches. And buffaloes farted too.
Facts.
