Wonderful to see and hear how farmland can and should be worked in harmony with nature and its natural resources. My only misgivings with cattle farming - beef and dairy - would be the methane issue (if you'll forgive the pun). As someone quite naive in these matters, I only have the 'headline' fear-mongering to go on. I would love to know how your farming mitigates the production of greenhouse gases? Perhaps this may simply be in the huge diversity of carbon-dioxide-absorbing plants? Thanks for a super insight into the way forward for farming.
"overfarming" id say poor farming pratices in general. I kinda disagree with this guy because a lot of these farmers who are producing more aren't effectively using the land they have. They aren't farming what they should be farming on the type of land they have. Depending on the type of harvester you have and where you live. You can actually plant your ceral crop directly into your grasslands.
He’s on downland soil, on another video about this farm he explains how he can’t farm how he used to when he was straight out of college because it destroyed the thin soils. His farm is being used by defra to help other farmers farmers diversify and farm better for nature as well as farming fairly intensely.
he's a test farm? is he like the "control" because honestly, most farms and ranches are under farmed in the western world with the amount of access we have. somelands aren't "ideal locations" and would be better for real conservation. But i think in the next 20 years looking back we will be shocked how underfarm our farms are. simply put some of the output out of the test farms beat out a lot of modern conventional ag. especially in stress season.@@spencersanderson1894
inspirational.. thanks Henry!
More Videos Please .love them give me hope for the future

This has a bit about reduction in methane emissions. th-cam.com/video/-Bd_wzyq6r8/w-d-xo.html
