Thank you for sharing the updates on this field. We have had good results with the bale grazing, especially on the steeper areas on our farm, I also made the mistake of driving over it. I was pretty nervous about having a dense mulch layer on the fields early on and planting into it but over the past few years since we have focused more on soil health and stopped using synthetic inputs, the biology and nutrient cycling has improved alot, we are experimenting with seeding in a diverse cover crop into one of our hay fields after harvest this year instead of applying the Organic Gem Fertilizer we usually use to really test that further and see if the cover crop mulch is an issue in next years hay crop. Coming from 10 years of organic farming, I have enjoyed learning from and seeing the changes on our farm since implimenting regenerative practices. It is nice to be able to see how your planter worked in this field with the changes you made as well as the different things you are doing on your farm.

Interesting results... A few things to maybe consider: - Earthworm abundance isn't always proportionate to soil health. I, for example, have the highest earthworm activity in my most clayey and compacted areas, while other subterraneous invertebrates dominate in areas where the soil is black, loose and well-aggregated. - What has been your cultivation history on that soil? - I would like to introduce you to the work of the late William Albert Albrecht, agronomist from University of Missouri who died in 1974. He was a pioneer on many issues relating to soil fertility. But his most unrecognised contribution is a concept, which states that soil fertility is highest in regions that are in a climatic equilibrium (Precipitation is equal to potential evapotranspiration throughout most of the year). The theory holds that if rainfall is continuously excessive (such as in the Pacific Northwest), nutrients are lost quickly due to leeching. Whereas, if rainfall is slightly less than potential evapotranspiration, soils retain their nutrients for a longer time, while still supporting dense plant growth. Such conditions exist everywhere there are Chernozems, which are widely considered to be the best soils on the planet. This concept is called "Albrecht's curve" and has tremendous implications on regenerative agriculture and ecology. I hope you can gain something applicable from this.

On cereal "raaaaaaaaye"

How long were you leaving them in each paddock at 500000lbs?

50 acres are 21 hektar

In Switzerland they developed a virtual fencing system where each cow has a device around its neck that gives first an acoustic signal at a standoff distance and then an electric shock when the actual (virtual) fence line is reached. This would enable any grazing scheme without much effort.

Try bruising the stalks and caps and if they bruise blue then they are magic mushrooms brooooo! Me and my friends spend time in the fields cruising for a bruising we call it.

Our first update shows the cover crop regrowth and changes to the soil 24 days after ultra high density grazing: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9SqnLuLsba9XZs.htmlsi=kGmpkFQFpetNqNzs We’ll do additional updates after planting and harvest! Thank you to everyone who has shared questions, ideas, and encouraging comments!

This is amazing! I can’t wait for the experiment results. Will there be a few acres unused? Will crop come back faster because of the manure density? So many questions. Great work

Now we need to see how you unroll it

Great video.

The presence of the frog shows you the presence of cooler temperatures and higher moisture content

It been proven that if you want to trample more make the paddock rectangular shaped instead of square shaped. Also don’t forget to move th water too.

It's a great idea... until it isn't.

The land probaly needs a slow progression to higher densities. Try lower densityies for a few cycles, then as the bioligy develops, you shouldl be able to get good resaults by increasing the density as the land can handle it.

Probably I need/to use my scope and determine whether beneficial microorganisms are in my soil. Who is author of the Soil Book. Probably available here in ks.

I working on several comments..some getting lost in the airwaves..

Got a scope..and experience... gotta get microorganisms stained and on slide. Thanks for the info.D

What kind of legumes are they? It looks like crimson clover.

Great content thanks for this.. You're helping a lot of crop farmers make the transition making content like this very cool. Looks like you're going to need to try radishes in your cover crop mix, or something that will break up that hardpan.

Nice looking cows and calves

Great video

You need more calves in the springs sell them when you run out of cover crops. But this means lots of $$$ Capitol . If you had the $$$ automatic fence openers and closers would be the way to go when you can afford it

My question would be why did you let it get so big? It would have been a lot more beneficial to the cattle if it wasn’t as mature. From what I saw they wasted a lot of it by knocking it down and trampling it.

Let’s go 🙏🏻

Love this channel! Love the experiments and seeing the worms. Please keep documenting these experiments. Wish you could go 2 years out on those three patches. :-)

Your cows look exceptional. I'm still not sure how you guys can make enough? Here on the Eastern Shore taxes are crazy.

What do you do at night

Well done. I do wonder about the long term health for cattle with so little roaming area. I would imagine Greg Judy or Joel Salatin would be able to address those concerns.

So just ran across this. It is hard to figure out. What exactly you are trying to make a difference in? If it is soil microbes. You would need a baseline. Then sequential testing. From the video the cover crop looks fine. But did you measure it? This is my thing about rotational grazing. And its claims of the grass recovers quicker or is more organic matter. If I cut the grass on my lawn. It is bahai grass. That stuff comes right the hell back. Comes back so high. I have to cut it every two weeks. As far as organic matter. That also would have to be done in sequential order. As it will vary. Say before or after a rain. This is the first video I watched. It is well done. Especially with the graphics. But seriously grass in season. Comes back pretty fast after it is cut. So many variables in this stuff. It is easy to get caught up with antidotal evidence. And believe correlation is causation.

Kashif Gill Pakistan I love you ❤❤

How did u get electric fencing through there. The grass is that tall it would short out?

Nice set heifers with calves

Marketing works like this you make a lot of gmail accounts and click on youre video it will bee seen to more people

Nice shape 👍

Love the video. Really appreciate the in depth analysis. Great mix. May i make a couple of suggestions from my experience? First, if you're just taking the top xxx inches you can start grazing much earlier (before everything matures) and move on. Second, if you widened the paddock so everyone could line up like they were at a feedbunk (likely about 2' per COW - not a yearling) then you could strip graze and the trample effect would be less AND, given the rapid moves, your forage would pretty much spring right back up within a day or so. Then it keeps growing, getting those roots down into the soil just as though you had allowed the plant to mature fully. We've also used tumblewheels to move along what really are alleys that we strip graze. We moved five times a day and it took about five minutes per move. Now, there are other technologies that can lift a wire, open gates (love bat latches), etc that can make the whole thing so much easier, Even basically automatic. Don't weaken! You're doing so great! Keep looking for solutions.

Very nice👍

having the math broke down made the video one of the most informative i've seen. could you add a few more cattle, and increase the pasture size a bit more to make it a once a day move so its easier on the labor side of things? most of the AMP (aggressive multi paddock) grazers say 12 hour moves or 24 hour moves.

Have you noticed if the cows do or don't like the cover crops more??

You trying to get someone's goat😅

Would definetly need to work on the farm full time to do this effectively right? I always thought of doing this, concentrate all the body's in 1 small area but wouldn't be able to leave them long in that area..

Check out gabe brown. If um not mistaken he does this same exact stuff on a very large scale

If you have the time for it setting up the system so that you move them about 2 times a day is probably the best in terms of time invested and results you get

It's definitely lot of work but very insightful, can't wait to start mine

🍀☘️🐄🐂🤗

Need more such content, thanks

Man just clean and fat…… that look wonderful……. That grass is so incredible…..

Superb video! Superb! TFS

And I have a rotten time planning to mow. I could stand to rent a couple of goats.

Look out . This carnivore diet fad is catching on.
