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?

Wearing masks outside 👍🏽🧠

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.

How many government programs do they have for minority farmers a lot. How many are for white farmers none. Who’s buying up all the farm land china. How many farms have been lost due to climate change and not government restrictions? Screw this pussy ass liberal dirt council

36:14 ❓Do elderberries cross pollinate and change flavor? Like a mint plant?

15:58 ❓What if I don't see birds eating my wild elderberry?

10:22 I have a wild grown elderberry. ❓How can I get it tested to see what kind it is? (To know if it's a good one to eat and for medicine)

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.

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.

Do you have more information about Chestnut trees and growing them in Wisconsin Thank you

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.

Wow, these compasses are amazing. I went there to check out the Fruit and Nut Compass thinking about using it to plan swapping to silvopasture and ran across the Lifestock Compass which might chance my total business plan.

Awesome, As a farmer who just came in from working all day and enjoying the farm at night I can totally relate to that feeling. Im sure anyone who works on this Farm will learn a valuble skillset. Goodluck in you appretencship search.

🥰🇺🇸🥰

Best guest ever. I truly love the delineation of our terms for defiance and prosperity.They nailed it all. Thank you for hosting

I'd like to grow some here in SC, Zone 8b. As an historian of the traditional trades, I'd like to see bringing back a bit of the hazel coppicing you see so prevalent in Europe. They use the stems for all manner of things around the homestead, so even if the nut size isn't spectacular, there's much that can be done with the wood. If, that is, the American Hazelnut has the same characteristics as their British cousins.

I wish this was extended to Sub Saharan Africa

One question i have is around "native grasslands". My NRCS guy told me that ground that was formerly farm ground, but planted to native grass species under a CRP program, would now NOT be eligible for Silvopasture development assistance.

I moved my sheep often in the orchard and they never bothered the trees. Think keeping them on fresh graze works best (though I suppose if they find a tree is tasty enough...).

I wish I had access to this in Canada. I have a forest lot, and I would be able to transform it into a great agriforest. However, it costs a lot of money, and I've been doing it rather slowly on my own. Grants like this would be a godsend. Great work! Keep it up, I hope our government north of your border will pay attention.

Your solution for Japanese beetles was systemic pesticide? You really lost me there guys.

Thank you for sharing your valuable experience

When do you put the cuttings into the ground? Before winter or after winter? I am guessing you would prune when dormant and put into soil in Spring?

Thanks for all of it
