THE REBEL COWBOY | Directed by David Blodgett
Will Harris has become a famed farmer with two appearances on the Joe Rogan experience and countless other podcasts and news outlets. I learned of Will from his first appearance on the JRE and immediately knew I wanted to tell his story in a cinematic documentary.
The documentary covers the history of White Oak Pastures and how it evolved with the modern US agricultural system into a concentrated animal feeding operation and then rebelled against traditional commodity farming to create a sustainable, regenerative, polyculture farm. Studies have shown the regenerative farm's model to be a carbon negative operation due to the sustainable farm's goal of rebuilding deep, nutrient dense, top soil that has been degraded and eroded (due to modern farming practices), into a carbon sequestration machine, pulling carbon out of the atmosphere and into the ground thereby creating healthier land and therefore healthier and sustainable meat.

What topic should I cover in my next documentary?

@ZennExile 2 ай бұрын

this one isn't even complete, but that's because you don't know that the Rhizosphere is far more important than anything happening above it. Herds of large herbivores are absolutely required to rebuild the global Rhizosphere. But in order to do so they must constantly migrate over 10's of millions of acres, or they begin to undermine sustainability efforts and poison the Rhizosphere. Just as Industrial Agriculture has done over billions of acres of land already. A healthy active Rhizosphere is the digestive gut that contains 65% of all terrestrial biomass and forms the foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems. You should start there, and then build toward developing an understanding of farming models that compliment and sustain the Rhizosphere rather than diminish and ultimately destroy sustainability efforts. We can't keep pushing the buck to the next generation. And we can't keep pretending we've got solutions when the data is missing billions of acres of diminished and destroyed Rhizosphere. We need MORE livestock. Not less. And understanding why is at the very core of the carbon crisis. Do a real documentary on the Rhizosphere. The trillions upon trillions of organisms dug up and gassed off into the atmosphere, that we know were made of carbon, and are now part of the atmosphere. Until that data is part of every carbon model, and understood thoroughly, there is no "solution" to any of our sustainability problems. You can't tell me how many crates of apples there are if you only count the horses pulling the cart.

Well done David. I’ve been supporting White Oak Pastures since 2010 when I returned home to Georgia. I just finished “Mr. Will’s” book “A Bold Return To Giving A Damn”. This documentary paints a very good picture for those who can’t pick up the book. I have never witnessed such transparency in any business.. especially what we put into our bodies and call “ food “.. Big Food .. mystery meat. You never know what you are eating or how the animals were raised. Greenwashing is real. It’s “ the new black “. Make the trip to Bluffton, Ga. If you are able.

As a suburban dweller, with a field opposite me, Will is one of the influencers for me to find the landowner of this now unused land and make a go of regen farming. This short documentary is an excellent short explainer to get people interested; I have a shelf full of books now on the topic, including "A bold return to giving a damn", this video encompasses all the information I want to pass on to get others interested in combating the current ideology of removing animals from the land.

Blessings to all these farmers that chose to give the animals a life they deserve ❤ and may many more follow in their footsteps 🙏

Hello Harris I have been trying to get this into Swedish farming. My experience is that my Government actively work aginst this. At one time, I had been pushing, a film was produced by the government "Sista Skörden", The last crop. In that film it was admitted that 50% of minerals were gone from crops. And under such circumstance any disease could develop. What you are doing reminds me of Jill Clapperton. The Ph.D I chose to follow became Elaine Ingham. Composting for critters to populate soil with. The tool to know what is braught to soil is a microscope. She have quite a few videos on KZfaq. Me I could never get a business going. You see I found these faming methods in the late eighties. My realisation was that the only thing big enough to be able to change farming methods world wide was to combine farming with energy production. Firstly for the farm itself. I do not want farms food production to be dependent on energy from untrustworthy partners. Are you running your machines on ethanol? The biggest problem is what can be done is to good to be true. Just think of health benefits! How are your cattle doing health wise? Good food givs the same benefits to people. Powers that be is our obstacle. Thank you for what you are doing. Thank you for this film. I am in Sweden by the way. Here our Government is working against this kind of development.

The politicians that have accepted the money and allowed the big companies to control the marketplace should all be kicked out of parliaments all over the world. Let a local area meat packer set up and work with the farmers. We have gone back to the old ways ourselves and only raise beef for family and close friends as we got older. We cut our cow herd down from 350 cows to 25 and utilize a local butcher and everyone is much healthier and happier, I just wish people would back to working with the local farmers and didn't fall for the marketing from the big chains.

There is another huge benefit to soil building in the arid west. The huge landscapes will act as a sponge and provide more water to lakes and rivers. Those endangered salmon you hear about can benefit from quality grazing practices that reduce winter floods and improve summer water flows. Yes, this helps the beaver help the land in addition. It takes a whole watershed to heal land and water, not just a beaver pond. The video does need to do a better job to teach that the manure of the cattle breaks down the forage to create the topsoil along with the help of the soil biota.

Great docco. It raises the elephant in the room. Saving our soil, our health, our earth, is more expensive than the alternative where in matters. On the shelf in front of the person buying it This problem is as crucial as any part of regenerative ag. I believe to get 100% of food production regenerative, we have to also bring the cost of food down. We have to get regenerative to be not only the cheapest option now but to continue to drive the price down further and make food over all cheaper.

**Hypocrisy** The individuals advocating for reduced meat consumption often travel by private jet, which generates a high level of pollution! Additionally, upon reaching their destination, they use a convoy of 10 cars or more for their security, further contributing to pollution. Are they truly concerned about the environment? These same individuals vehemently criticize cattle farming, meat consumption, and the agricultural industry. Why aren't they confronting the major fashion labels and clothing brands that produce thousands of items every day, fueling a relentless consumer system? Why aren't documentaries being made to criticize the high consumption of trivial products manufactured in China and sold online? Remember: clothes and trinkets can last for many years, while food is needed daily. Are they not targeting the wrong business?

This is amazing! This is how you operate a farm and save the planet!

YES! Hoping this documentary is part of bringing this type of farming to pop culture

Good work David, because you’re reaching people outside the normal Regen Ag circle. That’s why you’re getting so much pushback. Thank you.

How are the 1000 head wintered? Feed out in pastures?

As a conservationist, beef is not the enemy. Destroying sustainable grasslands to make way for grains to only feed that grain to beef in a maximum population paddock is the enemy.

I am so glad I have lived to see the right way of farming is beginning to be practiced, for so long I have been concerned about our land, the big WEF have tried to kill farms. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧👍

I have been getting my beef, lamb, and pork from White Oak Pastures for years. Wouldn't eat conventional meat from the grocery store if you gave it to me for free.

There 10000% needs to be an ongoing series on Netflix aboit this farm. The only way things change is through constant exposure. Make it happen...

@DavidBlodgett 29 күн бұрын

So true. Exactly how F1 became a popular sport in the US because of the drive to survive series. It would be cool to make a series about lots of different farmers on a similar path as Will.

@DavidBlodgett absolutely and I would bet that Netflix would offer a great contract for a farming series. 💯

He is right on the farming information he is giving. But there is not enough good farm ground left to provide the population with food. It takes both types of farming practices to keep the world feed.

@DavidBlodgett 2 ай бұрын

Good farm land can be created as demonstrated in the documentary. Know any articles or research papers that have done the numbers that you can show me? I want to dive into it for the next documentary.

Really interesting video. I grew up on a farm in Australia, and when I watch these videos on regenerative farming my initial reaction is to find them weird because growing up all of this was just smart farming. Having been in the food industry for my career I've realised that 95% of farmers want to farm this way. Corporations are what drive the bad animal farming practices we have globally. Because they aren't interested in environment welfare, animal welfare or farming welfare. They are interested in the growth rate of the next qtr. While we have governments who priortize food supply based on monetary growth rather than sustainability we'll unfortunately not have the right number of farmers who farm the land, rather than farm for growth.

@DavidBlodgett 29 күн бұрын

So true, our system perpetuates because all of our food has been turned into tradable commodities rather than the individual farmer's product.

I don’t believe there is climate change. I’m glad to see a healthier way of cattle ranching. Go carnivore!

@DavidBlodgett 2 ай бұрын

I get that, but CAFO style farming is really bad for the environment, regardless if it has to do with climate change. I actually want to try the carnivore diet soon!

What about farming crops not meat? How would that work?

@shanerobertson5964 Ай бұрын

Love this idea, but with land prices I do not think it would work! I have been looking for land and if it is not a commercial farm buying it. It is a land developer buying the land. We need away to put good land in the hands of good keepers.

@DavidBlodgett 29 күн бұрын

Interesting. Thank you for sharing that. I wonder if there could be a government incentive to make that happen.

In Australia, many activists think that all farms are effectively feedlots, which is strange given practices that have been legally required for decades. The vast majority of farmers actively petition against feedlots being allowed into their regions because of the reduced quality of life for animals. This shows a total lack of awareness or wilful ignorance on the part of activists. It should also be noted that daily paddock rotation breaks parasite life cycles, reducing disease in animals.
