Richard hope all is well! Hoping to see you make a return to youtube soon. Love your videos and your welth of knowledge ive learned so much from you videos. thankyou!!!
Actually US Soldiers have the highest suicide rate at a current average of 22 a day. Farming is one of the things that saved my life. Thanks for all the help over the last 7 years! I have been following Ridgedale since I first ran across the channel. Congrats on your success sir. It is well deserved and hard earned.
I’m a marine vet and 22 a day is the amount recorded in a study done in 2014 as of the study done in 2020 by the National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report the total is (16.8) so 17 a day compared to the now 28 a day for the agriculture industry
Your videos and talks are awesome. This video and your channel in general has such a good balance between the general “why” of farming and the details needed to make the dream a reality. Thank you so much!
Inspiring how Richard build up his knowledge on soil based farming activities. A hundred steps every day makes a complete marathon very quickly. Thanks for sharing.
I have absolutely loved following you for years I have your regen ag book and I've been talking my husband into bits and pieces and he's finally starting to grasp what I'm saying (I'm not the best explainer) and a condensed talk like this is going to really help! Thank you for sharing
Assuming your broiler production season is 6 months (it's probably less in Sweden), you'd need to sell about 900 birds per month (or 225 per week) to get to 4,500 birds total (slaughtered at 8 weeks old). That's a LOT of direct marketing work - not to be underestimated. Selling through a wholesaler would be far easier but less profitable. Labour is also important to factor into profitability as trying to do all of this on your own would be a recipe for burnout. Not wanting to be a naysayer, it's just worth putting it into perspective. What you've achieved is incredible and you make it look super easy Richard!
Great presentation on small scale farming, patterns, food security, community resilience, and the need for small farm healthy food. Good luck with Ridgedale.
Great material, as always. HOpe you will let us know how you are getting on from time to time. So sad that you are now less seen on TH-cam. Meant a lot to see what you have been doing. All the best in your next endeavours.
Oliver Anthony's interview with jordan peterson, he mentions regenerative agriculture that he wants to do on his land. Now that would be another great conversation to be had, you and him. :)
Beautiful *Video ❤️ I think the pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple sources of income, unfortunately having a job does not guarantee financial security. I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance during these difficult times.
So True! I'm into stocks Investment, Forex trading, cryptocurrency investments, Real Estate Investments and I am making good profits from them all. I always encourage Investments.
It is best to have an investment *manager* who has in-depth knowledge about investing, to help you make money on your investment on your behalf, while you will be monitoring investment growth.
Obviously a lot of thought has gone into your production systems. I’m still hung on the use of imported grain which is presumably grown with methods that deplete the soil and/or other natural resources. Completing the cycle would require the use of human sewage products which are contaminated with metals, PFAS, and other substances. Oceangoing animal or plant products may be a partial solution. Any other ideas for completing the production cycle without further depleting limited resources?
Gabe Brown is a Regenerative agriculture guy in North Dakota that grows his own grain to feed his pastured chicken. You should check out his methods of grain growing that Don't deplete the soil
Fun Fact, carbon is a toxin sink. If you can get your property as high in carbon as possible, there is the possibility that the carbon will absorb and break down toxins into nontoxic elements that can be used. I would advise in doing your research on that one.
Love your human scale relationship-based Regenerative farming. I can see you've never heard of my Regenerative at ecovillager scale in Bali since 1988. I made history 4x for Regenerative since 1981. Will connect with you through your website
I think there is a video of the pond going in on his channel, where from memory, he used 2m kaolin rolls laid down by machinery which form a waterproof seal. The stuff isn't cheap, but it's effective. It was a very large pond and 'gleying' that sort of area would be a task and a half!
Probably like alot of people tired of being restricted, cant show this cant say that. If you make your own platform that's user supported you can show what you want and say what you want because no 3rd party exists to say otherwise. Just you and your viewers running the show and frankly that's better for everyone except the 3rd party.

Thanks for your service, check out Veterans to Farmers. You're right, this is a way to keep the demons at bay.
😇this stuns me - the suicide rate among US soldiers. my prayers for all of them...blessings to all

Not everything is going to be a piece of cake lol.
There's always a price for something
One can learn all the marketing they need for free on TH-cam. Just gotta do it.
Great presentation on small scale farming, patterns, food security, community resilience, and the need for small farm healthy food. Good luck with Ridgedale.
Great presentation, really well explained
Appreciate your efforts, hope one day I will meet Richard
Update on the pond please! Has it cleared? How is it growing?

Haven’t heard from Richard in a while. No posts for 8 mos.
Thank you, perfect sharing 🙏

Fantastic!
Great stuff
Excellent talk, thanks Richard!
Anyone got the recommended website please for the agricultural books out of print?
Does anyone know what book Richard is referring to at about 38:00?
Referring to pre-sales somehow. Launched this system along with a pre-sale site?

I am interested in forex trading and stock investments, any recommendations? And much can I start with?

Any reliable professional manager? I would love to communicate with them. Thank you so much.
I went from 3000, to 500,000 in 3 years.
Thank you for sharing this, Richard!!

You can also just grow plants and not animals
Great Stuff! Thank you.

"You're probably busier than they are because you're a farmer." Hilarious
Can you share what the pond fabric is?

Amazing as always
