The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance; it's the "illusion of knowledge". It's not that I don't know that keeps me from growing and learning. It's that we THINKING we do know, and that my friend, closes our minds to the possibility of what could be..
Forgive my ignorance, but it seems the video is saying that the cows will continue to forage in the fields during the winter? As I was typing this I was realizing that the buffalo did that, the grass is still there, just sometimes under snow, and there are plants that grow very well (or perhaps better) in the cool weather of early spring and late fall. I guess we just need to look at how nature did it before people got here.
Love the side by side of the fields with the different approaches to directly show the benefit! Also love the discussion on what keeps other farmers from trying new techniques - identifying and solving those challenges to help more farmers make changes is so important! ❤
You can see the positive effects of what's being done in the field with the side by side comparison of the first yr & the 5 yr (I think). The longer one of no till has a darker crop, which means it's getting the micro & macro nutrients & minerals it needs. Another way to know the improvement that's been done, is to also test the soil both before the switch & after the first yr.

Is there any follow up to this? Im a native Kansan living in New Mexico, and my parents live in one of the towns east of Norton on Highway 36. Id never heard of this operation and am just curious as to how well its done since this being recorded?
I dont think most of the old timers are too stubborn or closed-minded, i believe theyre scared that they will fail and have to sell.. they need to see the irrefutable evidence that they can succeed, THEY NEED TO SEE THESE VIDEOS!
Complete nonsense. Most food crops are grown to feed beef cattle and other livestock. Meat turns food into less food. The reasonable approach is to eat little or no meat. What we have here is people who make money from polluting the environment and exacerbating climate change telling fairytales to people who want to hear them.
This is critically important information. It seems that the prairies are in for a long period of drought and heat waves. The need for carbon sequestration has never been higher. Farmers and ranchers of the Great Plains, get with the program. Fast. It will pay you and we need you to be on the land not sitting in a rocking chair, finding ever more reasons why you are not doing agriculture any more.
Look and listen to what Mother Nature is showing and telling you. Farmers are it’s called regenerative ag. They know tilling is killing. Monoculture is an expense requiring lots of expensive inputs that were never on the earth period.
Fallow is important tool for most Regenerative. I have a way to show the chemical guys in 1 week. #Asiflifeonearthmatters #Togetherwecandobetter #RegenerativeFoodCommunityAlliance
When I see a bulldozer blade on a 4 wheell drive articulated tractor , its a sign of Deep rooted ignorance. So Glad to see the example you are setting ! FAIL - First Attempt In Learning
Yep, I hope you watched the whole video because he did say he was debt free. But how else would you get thousands of acres of land and the equipment needed to farm it?
The neighbors are failing. They are getting subsidies or tax write offs or something. You have too many years of data. Are they still failing and passing it off on the tax payer/consumer?
The old mindset is I'm a farmer, I grow crops. The mindset should be I plant water and grow soil. Crops are the side effects of healthy soil
Growing soil is the answer.
"I'm debt free." That's awesome!!!
It is a miraculous thing when a farmer decides to learn and experiment
This family is comprised of farmers who are good stewards of the land. They are working WITH Nature, not against her.
I'm going to sound like an alien from outer space, but I like how humans are just smart
Humans are
Jews... Well, they're the pushers of corporitization
You will be also surprised how 99.9% are stupid
The whole video is about how stupid we have been
Are we though...?
We’re made in the image of God. He gave us some of his wisdom. Make sense? ✌️
Damb, these guys are such decent people...No higher calling than feeding civilization..bravo

Its tough to change minds when that's the way they have always done it. These two are pretty smart.
And when universities, extension agents, and other farm advisors teach CAFO/industrial ag, because it lines their pockets.
Good bye fertilizer. Good bye Round Up lawsuits. Hello Mother Nature 🌱
"personal responsability" they said. Fullly agree. I hope this is the future
Best of luck to you guys.
You are the future.

Great video! Learn through failures. Totally agree.😎👊
Thanks for sharing
Nice results for just daring to experiment a little.
Great video! I’ve clearly got a lot to learn. Thank you
Thank you!
Inspiring presentation …
Incredible. Thank you for your continued documentaries on this and inspiration.
❤good for you taking the challenge.🎉
Great.
No till. Cover crop.
Build that soil.
🖐🏻 ☮️💰
Nice man, but reminds me of older leadership in the fire service...."They way we've always done it."
Success is going from failure to failure with great enthusiasm.

Heavenly Father bring more water from deep within the Earth to all the Farms that need it. In Jesus name
AMEN.

Get morning fog? You can build a DYI Home Depot Fog net for water.
Smart

Grazing cattle is better than veganism
Anything's better than veganism.
@@andreafalconiero9089 the cattle build soil and grains drestroy the soil
@@cesarsantos5847 grains are a cover crop. does not destroy the soil.

@@Hottiedonkey try learning before commenting, doofus.
Can you till in a bunch of carbon and organic material each year or is it more beneficial for the prganic matter to be deposited on top?

Its easier to fool and mislead someone than to convince them that they have been fooled.

Throw some “milorganite” on it!!
It’s from years of nothing but taking from the land

Eventually you spend less and harvest more = profit $$$
The bank won't take it away if you didn't borrow money...

You've never signed the front of the check.

Elected officials want to keep farmers under govt thumb, they get $ from BIG businesses.
