Hi, Eric, What happened to the last building project you were trying to accomplish in Liberia. It seemed as though you were getting further with that one than you had with any of the others. Now in this video's description area, you are saying that when you relocate to Liberia, You will need to do the following, " Before moving, we need to build an off grid homestead. The project includes construction of a house, garage/shop, schoolhouse, and training center, where we will lead training ranging from permaculture design to theology." I was just wondering what happened to all that hard work you had put into that land. Did you encounter more problems with the local governing officials, or did you just leave it while you came back to the USA for this furlough? I hope you and the family are doing well. Kind regards. Liz.
You mentioned about Liberia here. I was a Peace Corp volunteer there for two years. 1978 to 1980.....during the over throw.. Samuel K. Doe took over....... rather turbulent times ! Beautiful people and country !
This took place at Heifer Ranch, located in Perryville, Arkansas. It is the headquarters of Heifer USA. You can learn more about this great organization at www.heifer.org/usa/what-we-do/our-operations.html
@John Smith My philosophy..... dont really count ! Each farmer farms differently Some wake up at 5 am others dont get out of bed till noon. Grazing..... if you ever mowed lawn or cut a hay field and observed ......there is a few basic things to notice.....comparing grazing cows on a pasture. One.... if you drive ( representing cattle hoof traffic ) over one area constantly.... what happens ? Then spread cow manure all over the field. Expect a cow to eat beside her manure ? Would you eat your meal with poop beside your plate ? A cow will avoid that area for up to two years !! Basic common sense !!!!!
Round up is being marketed as a dessicant, an antibiotic, a weed killer, etc - sell, sell, sell. If it’s meant to destroy the guts of the insects, what is it doing to ours?
@@TrickleCreekFarm I'll tell you what it's doing, it creating antibiotic resistant bacteria. The fact that it's a mild antibiotic it's creating resistant bacteria in the soil as well.
@Templar Don't know exactly but im more concerned about how they use it. In the past herbicides were used once every few years when needed and the rest of the weed control was done by cultivation. Now it is sprayed many times per year and sometimes even used as a chemical drying agent. Its getting in the food supply to an amazing extent and people are being careless about it. I'm sure there is science somewhere tho based upon the lawsuits and several countries banning it.
Ive rotational grazed for 40 yrs.......milk cows... very important to have quality grass for milk cows ! Your too technical !!!! Just need to remember a few things ...... First.... vegetative stage.. grass should be no longer then 6 inches for highest quality ! Second.... manuring is a major issue ...after about June 10th mow everything for hay ...its manured...both grass and soil ! Third.....you can not grow grass of " quality " if its already mature .....remove what is over a foot tall ! Forth.......mowing promotes regrowth ! With my dairy cows.....I seldom fed grain or any type of protein.......there is no need if your growing quality grass ! Stock cows........ seem to be neglected in this case.... feeding the overgrown poor quality grass.......not good for milk production for the calves !

If you enjoyed this episode, please "like" it and check out the Greg Judy playlis! tth-cam.com/play/PLhYx9OCE0pUKaBY1dLOAGVWrI9lqrTi4k.html
I only came across Mr. Judy this past summer. Not sure how I'm just now finding him. Thanks for sharing this.
Interesting video for sure
Thank you, been watching great from the beginning of his channel and before that others videos. Some day I hope to go to one of his classes.
Do a shot every time Greg bangs the table and shakes the camera.
It's true about the rubber hose I have one that is at least 35 years old it used to be 100 ft. but my husband ran over it with the lawnmower.
Those cows are mad! Tails switching and looking towards dad.
Headset microphone not a good idea. Otherwise, excellent video. Thank you.
According to scripture, the Creator has given man stewardship over the land. Steward means caretaker or to watch over. Interesting!

Is this Greg’s farm or someone else’s?

Why an American farmer name his channel The African Homestead? Just curious.☺
U recommend moving cattle to a differ t paddock how often? How in the world is a person supposed to have time to move that often
everyday or everyother day. Its easy with electric polywire.. takes like 15 mins a day to move 400 cows.
We don't eat off the bathroom floor. Don't expect your cattle to do it.
You did not think to set this up farther from the road?

Shallow
Keep listening
13:08 truly horrific.
I dont eat wheat any more and not because of gluten but because of such heavy processing and poison.

Hiker John Excellent point I hadn’t considered!
