Ruminants are created to eat grasses, and other forages; NOT grains!
Grain is grass. The seed of grass is grain. When grass on the plains grew tall enough to seed out, ruminants most definitely at it.
@@TheDomVerde harvested grains without the remainder of the plant, like corn.
@@TheDomVerdebut they don't eat it exclusively. Their digestive systems work on breakdown of lignin, not carbohydrate. The grasses are also not in a reproductive state when a ruminant "prefers" to eat it. So the discussion needs to be much more specific, grain and grass is not the same
Great discussion. Regenerative ag is nothing but win.
Agreed! Thanks for listening :)
Allen Williams, Allen Savory, Ray Archuleta, Jim Gerrish,...
GABE BROWN!
@@vivalaleta Yes!
Thanks to you both for a great interview! With he was my neighbor
Amazing! What a small world. Check out more of our interviews on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
Good interview, thank you. One suggestion, you interview the husband, I think the wife should be there as well, they are a team. It would have been interesting to hear her thoughts as well.
That isn't a bad idea :)
I very much agree. I would love to see more couples in these.
Consumer demand MUST drive the regenerative movement. Consumers need to be educated by each farm, HOW that farm is working to regenerate soil. Regenified status can be obtained and updated each year, see Understanding Ag who set up Regenified to avoid greenwashing that has happened with the organic certifications.
I always learn so much from each episode. I quite enjoy the diverse subjects!
See graph which Steve Kenyon shows and 100,000 Beating Hearts which shows Will Harris' farm history and regeneration of the nearby town.
I so sympathize with all this. I live on a small farm in the drylands of Brazil and we have the same problems....
Great, succinct explanation of the soil food-web. Made my kids listen.
That’s great to hear.
Ruminants contained in hot wires can weed (goats/sheep) whack or mow (sheep/cattle).
Awesome interview 👏 🙌 👍 👌 😎. I learned a lot from this video 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
We are so happy to hear that. Visit our channel for more great interviews.
Instead of "Third world" or development scale, I prefer to call them the imperial periphery as opposed to the imperial core.
Check out other regen ag practitioners: Gabe Brown, Joel Salatin, Greg Judy, Steve Kenyon,...
Just curious, are there no female regen ag people to learn from ? I don't know why I ask other than I am curious, since there are about 40 % female farmers in the world .
@@jean6453 Heifer Ranch has some gals. Christine is really informative. Homesteaders of America may have some gals you would appreciate. Elaine Ingham on soil health. Most of the gals i have seen online, tend to use vacs, wormers, or other high dollar inputs, which is when i shut off their channel.
Corn is great food for cows?!? How is there "regenerative" in title, and no mention of grazing.
Click-bait?
@@user-kv2pt4lu9y no, there’s lots of ways to be regenerative. He doesn’t have cows, so we didn’t mention it.
@@biggerthanmepodcastin order to regenerate soil, you need animal impact. Read Dirt to Soil by Gabe Brown. Ruminants on the soil in an intense but brief mob and move on in a way that mimics how the ruminant mob moved by pressure from the predators. Allen Savory of Savory Institute has interviews online, as well.
See dr Elaine Ingham for explanation of soil microbial interaction
@@biggerthanmepodcast Ok, but corn is not "great food" for cows. As much as candy isn't good for people.
I enjoyed your interview style and had a quick look at you other videos, all looks really interesting - so I subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for subscribing. You can also find the show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. We appreciate your support :)
You want teens of today in real time to do what you're saying sir. All you got to do is invite them to a bonfire on your farm let them smoke their pot let them pitch a tent and teach them what the farm is about and why they had so much fun the night before. That's all you got to do and you'll have them hooked get them off of the cell phone get them back to the land and give them a reason to do it. Have an outdoor fire and well what's called in child language bonfire because that's more fun and cook some really cool s*** and let them eat it let them drink let them smoke their pot. You'll have them hooked That's all there is to it do you really think that the children of the day want the complexities that we have left for them to deal with no they don't they would rather just sit around your bonfire smoke their pot drink a couple of beers pass out in a tent and then wake up in the morning and find out that wow that food and that party was so good I want to make that continue. So what do I have to do well I have to help this guy do what he asks so that tonight we can have another party that is the mindset of the modern day child give him a party and give him a reason to have the party and they will participate like you've never even thought could be possible
