    Thank you for adding value to my operation. I did exactly what you talked about at the end of your podcasts and cut out the lower potential cows and used that money to buy feed. I sold 12 cows and replaced that asset with 260 (1700lb) excellent quality hay bales sourced 1 mile from home to create a drought stack cushion a month ago.

    Love the use of hardware cloth to allow for air circulation while holding material in place. Dewormer will decompose if the pile gets hot enough for long enough (130-160 degrees for 3 days). Can also use several rebar posts or similar directly into the pile to oxygenate pile and help it break down without having to turn the pile. Static piles can amass more mycelium with less disturbance.

      Most small scale cow/calf folks use their town job to "subsidize" their livestock. There's not much reason to think or learn about low inputs if you don't have a banker calling to inquire about your draws on the operations loan.

    How long in bin #1 and bin#2 before going to bin #3?

    • @ChuckSchembre-UA
      @ChuckSchembre-UA 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It does depend on the time of year. Spring/summer things break down much faster. Bin #1 generally gets flipped after it has filled up a lot, and ready to flip once bin #2 is open and has been flipped. Bin #2 is ready once it has fully heated and cooled off. But I generally reflip it, or mix it up in that bin with a pitch fork for more break down. Once Bin #3 is vacant then it is usually time to flip bin 2 over to #3. It is really a set and forget process, just making sure the pile doesnt dry out. Flip when you can!

      Thank you! they receive very little de-wormer. Wish they didn't but some of it is out of my control! I put the horse manure through some decomposition before it goes into the pile and general spray a tea as an inccoulant on it to offset the potential of the dewormer. Best I have come up with, without really knowing

    Step 1, the soil. It has to be the 1st question we ask when managing. How does that affect the soil. It’s not easy, it’s an incredible leap of faith. If your heart isn’t in it, don’t even try. You have to want it to work, not do it to prove it doesn’t. Healthy soil and human health are synonymous. Show me your soil, and I’ll show you the health of that nation.

    Oh ya super easy and cost efficient. Like everyone else i also have tons of extra time to grow food. I imagine if i plant something and my kids are hungry it would take what 3 maybe 4 days to harvest produce. They will be cool with that for sure. Plus where i live we can only water gardens once a week after may to September so should be good with naturally drought resistant plants. If you could just put the amount of time, money, stability of the harvest for the rest of the year so i can have food all year round without having everything go rotten, i am all ears. Theres tons we SHOULD do, but what can we actually do with the constraints on life currently. Everyone talks but no one has a plan that is viable. But it cant get any worst right?..... right?😞

    • @KyleRenbarger
      @KyleRenbarger 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Start lookin at the glass half full. What works for you doesn’t work for me probably. But the principle is the same. I believe the guy speaking has a garden with only 10-12 inches a rain per year and does it on a commercial scale. I doubt as large as their garden is they are out there watering it with a garden hose. Gabe does all this with about 3-4 employees. That being him, wife, son, daughter in law. To add I believe they farm 4000+acres with cattle and sheep. Not a 100 percent sure if that’s all true today but it was 3-4 years ago. I get 25-35 inches of rain per year on average and can’t do what Gabe does.

    Thank you all for discussing this. I'm a very new farmer, jumped in with both feet in 2019, been a journey. One of my first thoughts after we got cattle was how can my I help my cattle be the most healthy? Through reading some of the Albrecht papers I was introduced to soil health which made perfect sense, but how to do it? I just started to listen to Gabe in the last month or so, and planted my first cover crop last week. Yesterday I saw some sprouts, so excited! So far I've managed to go backwards in a lot of this stuff, but I keep trying. Also last week we set up paddocks to get our cattle to about 20000 lbs/acre. Nutrient density is something we desperately need, Allen is right, you can't spray tan it onto commercial fertilizer, just another band aid. Get down to see how Got put it all here to work together, and we'll be on the right track. God told Adam and Eve to multiply and "replenish the earth". That's what regenerative systems do.
