After two years of no farm updates (sorry), I give a quick tour of the farm I live on:
• My 25+ pasture-raised pigs are taking a break from pasture over the winter.
• I reveal my system where I use wood chips and make premium compost from them. Shockingly, by my estimates, the compost is more profitable than the meat from the pigs.
• I show my greenhouse, the heating system failed and I lost 300+ tomato plants where I was hoping to net $10K, after costs.
• I am getting ready to grow my crops for 2021.
Hope you enjoy, we have lots of regenerative agriculture farm tours lined up for this summer!

Thanks Stephano. Process of the application of the fertlizer has changed so success. Prethink about tough winters! A few years ago some kansas farmers didnt heat areas of the cow farm. So cows died. Need a fire pit lite at 7pm and at 5am. Or build a stove barn with caged shielded pipes. Thanks. Righteousness! cocoon. Unknown. Pray outside. Evil stalks, tricks.. Jesus is great!!!!

WOW! You get $100 a yard for manure? Sounds like a great side business It only runs about $35 / yard around here.

hey, have you heard of using ducks to seal the pond? i heard their "poop" will help to seal the ground. you could also use bentonite, but you would need quite a few tons :) maybe ducks would fit better into your concept. buy 1000 ducks, raise them and then harvest them.... could be worth a try, even if it fails, you make money out of it.

Hey, I get flocks of 1000+ canadian geese and every year it improves. I priced out Clay, and it was well over 50K. Liner was over 110K.

Are you currently paying a butcher to slaughter and cut now if all your current pigs are sold as haves and wholes. I believe you’ll have to if you go to a per piece model at the market. Right? I’m not in the game yet but looking at all the inputs, you can get creative with their feed but for the most part it’s hard to be an animal farmer and a feed producer. Instead, I’d rather put them down on my land w/o stressful transport, it’s just the laws I’m uncertain of in Colorado. I’d be on the front range somewhere. Any thoughts anybody? Thank you

Hi Phillip, I use a butcher, and sometimes I do the butchering myself. If I sell the pig live, we can break it down with customer present. We had a large walk in cooler, and it was great. I always recommend to do a butcher when possible and just work on having more animals.
