Two of the most important voices in Western agriculture

Thank you Alan for caring.

Let's not forget the impact that the giant flocks of birds would have had on the grasslands as well. There are accounts of flocks blocking the light for 3 days straight with so many birds. Using poultry in combination with the large ruminants can help speed up the process of improving the productivity of the land, and so many producers like Joel Salatin and Gabe Brown are tapping into that potential. I took a small herd of goats and sheep through our pasture ground this year. I really couldn't see a lot of difference behind them, but when I started moving the chickens through as well, the grass left behind is still green in early December in North Central Nebraska. I can't wait to see the gains I make over the next few years.

Change is terrifying but so much satisfaction when we have the courage to follow through. Great talk!

We have been told what we want it , when we want it , why we need it for so long we have a very hard time Understanding what we actually Do want for our lives in such an emotional level .

Thank you Alan for your words of wisdom. Life changing stuff!

Thank you for a terrific video with two amazing individuals. I'm now going to read the "The Watchman's Rattle" by Rececca Costa.

Really interesting discussions - thank you for sharing.

The complexity has been simplified drastically IMHO. At least the visual complexity that I observed. For example when I grew up in Kenya in the 60’s I remember lots of termites and termite mounds. Dung beetles, rodents, anteaters, tortoises, etc. When I returned decades later I don’t remember seeing hardly any. I think the bees and termites had a large role in foraging the landscape. That’s what I liked. Biodiversity. The insects and animals are the farmers. Humans hunt and forage at will by being the dominant predator. Plants spread over the bare ground and shade it. Looking at the dang cattle and sheep as a means to an end, a tool, is difficult. The tendency is to want to get rid of them and “conserve” the land. We called them “hoofed locusts” and “prairie maggots”. So there’s a meme and stigma involved. Then the tendency is to try and impose ones ideas on the land. It’s a control trip really. Some people have some obnoxious control trips and foolish pride. “My grandfather and father did it and so am I”. Or the “institutional stupidity” Allan mentions. Like let’s cull the elephants.

yes love these smart ideas

If you're interested more in the Roundup glyphosate issue checkout Zach Bush. Adding also that humans are the only land mammals that defecate in fresh water... even a cat or dog by nature won't do it. Kudos to those many using their 5 gal buckets as "composting toilets".

2 x extraordinary human beings

These people should read Western Price's book, and learn from Dr Morse.

We don’t need to eat less beef. The carnivore movement is growing and healing thousands of people. #meatheals #meatrx

We managed without Round up before it was invented. We've become dependant on it the same way we become dependant on a drug. It's easy.

So what I do as a farmer is similiar to what these men teach. The only difference is I acknowledge that the Good Lord created it all and I look at His design and try to follow that. For instance I look at a forest and see how it is designed and then take those principals and apply them. In this instance, I take the idea of leaf mulch for better soil conditioning. So I seek wisdom from above in all that I do. For who am I to say to the Creator of all things, I know better.

Pretty sure that ddt isn’t bad like the narrative that we hear.
