It really is a facepalm situation. We constantly think we can do it better than nature, which developed the mechanisms over millions of years. Great video.
What an amazing journey these farmers are on! Taking the power back from the Big Agra baddies and putting communities and sustainability first. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love these little videos. They are done so well. I live in rural Colorado, west of a little mountain village of Rye. Kinda said goodbye to TV 20 years ago. Studied art history many years ago. Worked labor fixing buildings about 40 years. Now I am studying how to make biochar for retirement pocket money. Running into opposition. They don't want anybody burning anything. New ideas! Making money with something besides driving school buses and maintaining gravel roads for same. I love these videos!
Hey man, many you can prove that burning charcoal to emend soil is better for co2 capturing? If you are Up for making biochar look Up bocashi or vermicompost maybe your city can give you mulch for local pruning or food scraps in a economical way to make profit
The way this man lit up when he mentioned his mother bragging about him to her friends ❤❤❤ oh, my heart. And the fact that he would have had 15 kids if he did this earlier 😂❤ such a wholesome man!
Very exciting! Cow manure is gold for the soil! I hope this method spreads quickly - save ranchers and farmers lots of money, protect and improve the environment - healthier soil, animals and people! Win! Win! Win! I posted to Facebook! People need to know about this! Including us city dwellers!
I see more and more farmers catching on! Greg Judy teaches this brilliantly and now Simeon and Alex just started revitalizing a ranch in Arkansas. Love it!
Just came from a day of training for golf course superintendents, with speakers from water agencies, chemical companies and the government. All I could think about was this video and others like it.
This gentleman’s information about animal production, being highly CO2 producing, is correct for industrial farms. However , many farms have moved to paddock grazing, which is much more carbon neutral than raising plants. Using paddock grazing/farming a farm can raise more cattle (goats, sheep, etc.), using much less water, no fertilizers, no pesticides, and much less machinery. Making it either carbon neutral, or an actual carbon sink, where it pulls more carbon out of the atmosphere than it produces, which is amazing! This has been scientifically studied, documented and written in peer reviewed and published papers. It’s actually very exciting to see farming, moving back to more natural ways of raising animals, which is better for the animals, better for the environment, and better for the farmer to make a living. (Not so much for the highly polluting fertilizer corporations). The cows, goats, or sheep are much healthier, have a better protein and vitamin/mineral consistency, the dairy has a greater nutrition consistency, etc.. th-cam.com/video/MDoUDLbg8tg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rk35iOTNwT8-GJzA
This is the way to go! Good job! My father was a farmer who migrated from Mexico and this is how they managed their cattle and other grazing animals in the early 1900s. Nature taught and nature followed. ❤️❤️❤️
It is great to see the ranchers in this video smile like a skunk eatin' bumblebees through a picket fence when they look at their pastures and the healthy, happy cows that eat there. I'm not a rancher but being born in MT in 1952, I have driven by hundreds of pastures that were grazed down to the nubbins. When I drive by an area of natural plant multi-culture such as we have in the north-central part of the state, it's darker green and looks to be far healthier than the cultured pastures that have been grazed traditionally. NOTE: we have more cows than people in MT. Rancher 1: Look at those pastures! The grass is over a foot high and there were cows on it yesterday. How do you do that? Rancher 2: Science, bitches!!!
Thank-you for taking care of our beautiful Earth! I am sure this helps with parasites too. Mob Grazing. Polycultures rock! Cover crops make nitrogen fertilizer. No till farming and plants conserve soil, clean water. I am doing this on a small scale in Texas
How small of a scale are you talking about? How many head on how many acres, and broken into how many plots? Thank you. Im thinking about doing this small scale myself, and am interested in hearing how it works for you and others without large tracts of land.
Very exciting and thank you to the film maker, crew, ranchers and their families, and all involved. This is the answer, not carbon units placed on Wall Street to trade and make money.
Soil has always attracted me from making mud pies to molding berms. Thank you for sharing your message of hope and another way of being productive. Without a message of hope we do no one a service.
So I just started learning about this a few days ago. Im no farmer but I do grow fruit trees and veggies for my family. There was an epiphany moment for me when the gentleman said “ It’s not about how much water you receive but how much water you can retain.” I’ve watched this twice and I know I’ll be watching this and many more. Thank you for the work that was put into this. I wish this started in the school system.
This is really cool to see- the people who have the most reason to be in touch with the way soil has always worked are rediscovering how it serves all better to roll with the natural way. Aldo Leopold would be pleased!
As he said at the beginning of the video, monocultures were easy, but fundamentally, most farmers reap huge dividends from working with nature, once basics of it are established. Your yield might go down, but your pure profit will go up, and it will be consistent year in and out.
My mom who grew up on my great grandmothers farm in the 40’s & 50’s would say they were self supportive. The cows would start then the pigs would follow and then the chickens through the pastures. The animals recycled the soil, they didn’t buy fertilizer ever.
Oh! to be a young man again; i would dearly love to be involved in this type of farming as i am sure that everyday would be a day of total satisfaction & enjoyment 😊
Just found your channel and subscribed. Mother Nature is the way to go and she can kick butt! Almost 10 years ago I moved to Dallas from the upper mid-west and when I got here there had been a very long multi year drought. Then, just two weeks in the Fall and two weeks in the Spring, when it rains heavily here, the 4 year drought was over except for a small portion of the panhandle and this is a huge state! Like I said Mother Nature can kick some butt🤠😎
Look for a local grazing group and check out soil health academy for more instructive videos and resources! Just be sure to do lots of research first. We're rooting for you!
The part of working with nature instead of against it caught my attention. It made me think of the 3 sisters method of growing first used by the Mayans. In parts of central and South America farmers have returned to using it and are far more productive then using modern ways of farming by trying to force the land to artificial means.
@@Tupelo_Honey77 It's the term for a mobile and bottomless coop for chickens typically moved every day. Popularized by Joel Salatin of Polyface. It's how real pastured poultry is produced, free of drugs and greening the landscape with every pass. It's mob grazing for fowl, but they still eat more grain than grass/bugs/slugs, etc.
A big/bug benefit, let’s call it biug and coin a new term, is the chickens eat the maggots in the poop decreasing the quantity of flying/biting insects, specifically flies…..which also benefits the herd. It doesn’t eliminate just reduce so the local wild bird population has a good source that fluctuates in a manageable range versus pest/infestation levels.
Superb. I'm from southern indian state of Tamil Nadu this method has been practiced for many years even for century's but now days it's hitting in down fall.
Im in college for land managment right now its been going alright im not satisfied with it though, and am highly intrigued after discovering this channel and its recources. I will be looking for information on education sometime soon and am hoping for "in" in the industry. Whilst my goal in life is to help restore the american ecosyems of old no more closed canopy forests in oak savvana land and the like,this would be a wonderful thing to do for a living.
“It’s extremely low stress. Because we’re working with nature, not against it”
It really is a facepalm situation. We constantly think we can do it better than nature, which developed the mechanisms over millions of years. Great video.
A year has gone by with no more comments … but I still watch this every day … this is the best most motivating video in the series
Yes
@kevinmcgrath1052 - Gabe Brown, who is in this video, does a three part series on regenerative agriculture and it’s very good. Check it out.
Well said
I loved it
This video is gaining traction.
More good news: UK, Woodsmith Mine, polyhalites.
A country is only as prosperous as it's soil.
Fabulous short film of an often unheard of story & is taking ground in many other countries. Cheers from the UK 🇬🇧 👍

The pure joy on the face of this farmer in just so refreshing 10:58.

These 10 films should be reposted every time there is a dust up about cow farts or some tech billionaire telling us to all be vegetarians.
Very well said!😎
If you ask me, monoculture crop plantations are 100x worse for the planet than this!
This kind of thing makes want to farm. Thank you for finding ways to work with Nature instead of against her.
Still my favourite … when I’m looking for inspiration at the end of a long day I head here … uplifting
Just came from a day of training for golf course superintendents, with speakers from water agencies, chemical companies and the government. All I could think about was this video and others like it.
Working on a book about crawfish boats, I got to spend time with smart people doing good things with and on the land. This film is amazing. Thank you.
so inspiring. hope all cattle ranchers worldwide get to see this !
Fantastic documentary, I'm glad we are working with Mother Nature instead of trying to always dominate.
That horn on the front of his 4- wheeler so he can drive over the paddock wire is awesome!
This is the solution to many of our problems. True science back to the basics without poisons.♥️

I just found this video and am so excited that I might be able to put cattle on my ground successfully.
Iam watching it for the second time today.
TESTIMONY to practicing nature's lessons.
👍👍👏🇺🇲
Hello from Romania, I greet you with respect Marius 🙋🐂🤠🇹🇩
These guys are amazing pioneers that helped give fuel to the growing movement for regenerative. Neil was a great example RIP!
Excellent! So great to see good news.
Very efficient paddock fencing system.
This is the way to go! Good job! My father was a farmer who migrated from Mexico and this is how they managed their cattle and other grazing animals in the early 1900s. Nature taught and nature followed. ❤️❤️❤️
Very cool! Thank you for sharing this! We just messaged you on Instagram - Let's chat :)
Dr Pol's son Charles is a producer. He just started a small family farm...
Find him, make this HAPPEN.
Have you noticed how clean and shiny the cows are in comparison to the conventional industrial?
Awesome, new Home School learning material
I wish I would have had these videos to share with my Hort students back when I was still teaching.
Just got recommended this!! ❤ wonderful documentary!
What a joy to see this movement spread and grow! :)
Thank you so so much sir ,what you guys are doing is changing lives even hear in africa.
Hello, I'd like to offer caption translation to Brazilian Portuguese. I believe in the value of the content for my country as well.

This is excellent to see. Bless these ranchers/ regenerative farmers. Definitely need more of this in the world.
Magnificent, how the best ideas are paying off
Thank-you for taking care of our beautiful Earth! I am sure this helps with parasites too. Mob Grazing. Polycultures rock! Cover crops make nitrogen fertilizer. No till farming and plants conserve soil, clean water. I am doing this on a small scale in Texas

This is one of those movies to be watched every day ... very special
UK here awesome videos 😊
Great Job! Thank you for sharing. Best of luck for Farmers!
Let’s Go!!! Something about a happy farmer or rancher enjoying their trade can’t wait to what that looks like in 50 years
It is inarguably one of the most beautiful and resourceful youtube channels I have ever come across. It gives me HOPE! Thank you.
I am very proud to be married to Neil Dennis's neice , he is dearly missed and its absolutely wonderful to have videos like this to look back on
And it’s the best introduction … by far !!!!
using nature to give cows a multivitamin! giving the soil a vitamin too!
Very exciting and thank you to the film maker, crew, ranchers and their families, and all involved. This is the answer, not carbon units placed on Wall Street to trade and make money.
What an uplifting video! I wasn't expecting that. But I'm glad you put this out there. It eases a tightness in my chest. Thank you!
Soil has always attracted me from making mud pies to molding berms. Thank you for sharing your message of hope and another way of being productive. Without a message of hope we do no one a service.
New to this. Really interesting!
Gonna use this in my high school sustainability class!
Knowing that water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas.. the water retention difference has major implications
So I just started learning about this a few days ago. Im no farmer but I do grow fruit trees and veggies for my family.

Great job all farms should be doing this❤️
Just watching it for the first time after one of their shorts turned up. We need to spread the word.
This is how I do it. Regenerative Ranching I have beautiful grasses

This was fantastic! Thanks for sharing !
AMAZING 😍 Love love love this shift - we will see more of this in the future, we need it !!

High intensity, rotational grazing is an amazing tool. Its more work work than conventional systems but the results speak for themselves.
But, he commented that it is much less work and machinery and time.

Every rancher should be this happy!
Thank you very much.
Nice optimistic video. Sometimes we gotta get out of our own way.
Consider me inspired.. now to figure out how to apply this philosophy to over farmed dirt in Saskatchewan
Look for a local grazing group and check out soil health academy for more instructive videos and resources! Just be sure to do lots of research first. We're rooting for you!
This is amazing.. Hopefully this is spreading
Every time you like / comment / share you help someone else hear about it!
10:23 My man if lover. Sorry Great video had to comment that. This entire series, channel it all. Very imsirpiring.
great video! Really hope regenerative agriculture keeps picking up steam
American heroes these ranchers are!
First time I’ve seen this 😊there is hope after all . Uk
Doing this now with my horse pastures it's amazing how fast they turned around !
Fabulous ❤🇨🇦

'98-2004..wow, just goes to show pride is quite the drug and how merciful God is.
A great video..Great farming!
Can you imagine what would happen if they would run chicken tractors a couple of days after the cattle?
Gabe Brown does just that. As does Will Harris - it works very well.
carbon cowboys nice one. Loved all the episodes. Now I need to convince my best friend to take this up properly.
@@carboncowboys what is chicken tractor 🤔

This is wonderful !!!
This was an amazing video. Yeah i dont agree with the weed thing either. They arent just weeds their plants.
Love this! Amazing to see minds changing.
THIS video has to be tagged on all the other videos. This is the foundation of Carbon Cowboys
Figure out a way to put those fence posts on rovers - maybe fewer but taller posts dangling a net...
Then the paddock can slowly roam like a roomba
This is so incredibly interesting to me. I hope to implement this in my country.
Need the full movie !
Amazing work… keep it up!
Very informative. Thanks. Just subscribed.
This is wonderful!! ❤️
These guys made me really happy
Love it, keep up the awesome work
i sure do miss hearing from Neil.

I have added you to my list of people to study for the farm.
Awesome video!
Not a farmer… but I’m impressed by the information in this vid
Stellar!
