Ash trees are the KEY to riparian and wetland restoration.They are also a peoples cultural representation and connection to the land. Ash Trees ,Agroecology and Agroforesty are the key to restoring the NWs ecosystems water table to combat floods and drought.
Where's Scorch? I thought this was PFG TV?
They're trolling us..
Is there a longer video?
Do deer bother chestnut trees? I planted apple trees this year and protecting the trees from deer is the biggest challenge.
Yes, deer will browse chestnut
Great video¡... Chestnuts are very important trees in many countries.. in Chile is source of nuts, animals feed and timber.... Congrats¡
Greg is a national treasure.
This is fantastic. Hopefully, all commercial corn, soy, wheat, sugar beet farms adopt!
Thank you for sharing.
I do believe that if we were to ask the question of Mother Earth in relation to the use of herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, she would be most clear about avoiding killing anything when there is a natural way to bring about change . There are alternatives in nature. We all know that. If it is a small area in need of clean up well then you use elbow grease and pull out those weeds one by one. There are areas where I get in and just pull out those weeds that are not needed. There are areas that they can grow as they provide the rest of the land with helpful insects. ALSO Crop rotation is another natural way of revitalizing and renourishing the land when it becomes nitrogen deficient.My Dad practiced this well practiced, traditional method, and he grew every vegetable under the sun. Plus the earth was not saturated with chemicals attempting to mimic what nature is perfectly capable of doing on her own or with just a little help. Chemical companies are all too happy to sell to you for cash - the operative word, their harmful products. Avoid chemicals that wash into our water table and come back in our drinking water. Common sense must prevail. Not everything on this good earth is there so as to make a profit off of it or off of other people misery i.e. Monsanto chemical laden products, opioids - big Pharma, petroleum and plastics products. Companies making money is NOT the way for so many of us who care a whole lot more about the earth and all its beings than making a buck. Green backs/dollars are not the driving force for millions of us. Green spaces on the other hand most certainly are.We can do more and we must. In the twenty years we have been at our home not ONCE have I sprayed anything with anybody money making chemicals. I can use baking soda, vinegar, natural products and not prop up industries petroleum based products that flood the market in plastics, or dangerous harmful chemical concoctions that are know to CAUSE ham. I can educate myself and say NO that is NOT for me. I CAN do better and I do. We all can and many do. Thank you
That’s the beautiful intersectionality between traditional knowledge and conventional knowledge. We can learn so much about what plants and animals need by simply listening to them.
Excellent video - Thanks!
Do you work with nonprofit 501 (c)(3)'s? Can the Federal ITC be gained after PTO status of a project, especially a mixed-use ag project that has solar grazing, apiaries and solar with battery storage?
Saw a pic of bare earth between rows. Did you mean to include that? Thought the point was to avoid bare earth...

If google was correct, a European hazelnut tree gets 15lbs of kernel at maturity, vs 1lb for these hybrids. They have a ways to go.
These were two fantastic presentations, thank you so much! So sorry to hear about the barn loss
Thank you 😊
How long does it take cuttings to produce berries?
Never even heard of a persimmon until I saw this video.
Great video! Fun to see southern Indiana represented here!
Link to the winning recipes?

Man you gotta work on soil prep
Next time set up a plot till in compost , put down cardboard and wood chips. Go thru winter. Then plant the cuttings. Still take two years but gives soil chance to get healthy. You can set up trellissing while soil is working on getting healthy.
Hi I noticed why your plants were suffering. Look at the clay that is exposed. I know it's rich in clay because of the way it cracked. I get you were using weed barrier. Forego weed barrier in the future put down cardboard and cover thicly , 6 in of wood chips. Also prior to planting enrich the soil with local green and brown compost.
Would love to see a video demonstrating your root pruning method.
Thank You!!!
Can you eat them off the vine? I just planted mine this spring and they are growing I got 2 different types Adam and Bob Gordon I do believe I planted them for my personal uses and my Chickens
thank you!!
Will they produce in Texas?
Brilliant work! Glad you are in Minnesota.
Mine don’t like Eastern Kansas. Don’t die off but will never set fruit.
Would love to get started with hazelnuts on my farm
Love to see it
Mark has been an inspiration over the years, as I developed and learned about my site. Would be good to see more footage from/about him as recent video appears to be sparse. Thanks for the upload.

3:56 watching 3 years later from Texas. Thank you for keeping it going because I have a ton of questions! (Sorry 😔)
Struggling to figure out if R. nigrum (blackcurrant) and R. odoratum (Crandall/clove currant) might cross-pollinate with each other. Anyone?
That % change slide has no reference - is the vertical axis an increase or decrease percentage yield?
Thank you for such a fascinating discussion, even from a novice domestic gardener's pov
Great video! Thanks!
Silvopasture isnt a recognized practice through the Michigan NRCS. I hope Savannah Institute and West Michigan Agroforestry can change that.
Good news Matthew, Silvopasture was just adopted my MI NRCS in the beginning of 2024. This was one of our big goals :) Thank you
And about birds & net houses ? Made only 55% shade clothes test ? It’s high shade…
good job, my respect from Brazil. One day I´ll get there, it´s a great inspiration.

I’m in Tennessee and while I knew I had a nice persimmon tree on my place, to my delight late last year I discovered a BUNCH of younger persimmon trees with lots and lots of fruit. I also have the thorny locusts, and black walnuts are a nuisance, there are so many of those here and wild elderberry’s everywhere on my place. I’m so excited about the sassafras and sumac (not poisonous). It has been a joy to discover all the wonders on my “wild” farm.
