Lots of things our forefathers did are all of a sudden new ideas.

Dana Rudgers I agree. It saddens me that some people (non farmers who want people to call them farmers) use older ideas poorly, try to take credit for the concepts, and make money telling others. Meanwhile, there are knowledgeable people who try to help others, free of charge, but people want to pay the other guys.

@@andrewbateman7534 there's a movement a foot to use many of the old ways that make sense. It will happen by necessity as purchased inputs (fertilizer and fuel) get more pricey. Less tillage and more cover crops will become the trend. Hopefully we can get more livestock back on the land as well. The ability to graze certain animals on cover crops after grain harvest holds real potential. Fencing is alot easier than when I was a kid. Sharpening locust fence posts on a buzzsaw belted to a Farmall and pounding them with a 16 lb maul then attempting to nail barbed wire to them is on old thing I doubt will make a big comeback however. Today's portable electric fence is awesome technology I wish my dad could see. I can hear him. "That string won't keep ewes in. They'll be up to Louie Wellman's by morning."

It was called.......the Allis Chalmers roto baler !

Theirs a channel I like to watch of a guy in Missouri who likes to use a 4 wheeler to unroll hay. He claims it don't cause ruts like Tractors. Seems like he's very picky about what conditions he will put a tractor on his Pastures. But he also moves his animals often. I can't claim any experience in the matter. Currently I am watching lots of video's and hoping to absorb some helpful knowledge for when God decides to make my dream of a farm come true.
