- 100% cedar ridge turned into quality pasture using this method. If you have a section of your farm that is covered in brush and is not producing any forage, try the methods used in this video to convert it to quality pasture. You must get the cedar removed that drops their needles which turns your soil acidic. Very minimal grass will grow in highly acidic soils. If you want to keep your farm profitable every year, check out my 3 grazing books that I wrote on our website: greenpasturesfarm.net/books/

Greg,
We moved 50 hens last night to one of your viewers! I am over in Smithville MO now, for rehab!
Laura very overwhelmed, all help is still appreciated and needed!

Yup - that's the way it was - my folks were born in 1913 & 1914. My Mom lived on a farm with her 7 brothers and sisters - nothing was easy. I remember her telling me she remembers laying in her bed (with other siblings partly to stay warm and partly they had very little including extra beds or room for them) she would watch the snow blow through the cracks in the cabin/house they lived in and stuffing those cracks with rags. My dad lost his dad when he was 10 and he learned to fix anything and everything to make a few dollars. He went hungry and would tell me many times he would never go hungry again (and he didn't). We have such a sheltered and easy life compared to those "good ole' days"!!
I agree. Thanks for sharing your story
Thanks for sharing another Marshall story. The times were hard, and the survivors' legacy is in their stories.
Beautiful pasture. We've had less rain down here than you all, we're still green though thank goodness.
Great message to end with Greg, the best day is the one we're living in, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised.
Wow already 100 years ago since the 20s. Those days do sound very tough. If one works with some of the intensity of those days and the advantages of today they will probably be very successful. Thanks for the story of Marshall and that farm
Thanks for the video! I love the old timer stories. My former neighbors and grandparents had some great stories too. I would sit down for hours listening to them. I know we are so lucky or fortunate to be living in these easy but different times. These times people have to much time on their hands compared to the past.
So beautiful. 🌞🌱❤️. My grandma and her Mom and Dad and 14 brothers and sisters farmed 350 acres. Farming in her time looked like what you are doing now. These sensible practices were lost to corporate models. My grandpa sold eggs to the local grocery store starting in 1922. One day while listening to a documentary about the 1960’s the presenter states “I wish we could return to the good old days of the 1920’s again.” My grandma (who was born in 1900) said “The 1960’s would blush at what was really goin’ on in the 1920’s”. She saw it. And was glad, she said, that she had a family that loved her and protected their own.
Verbal contract's are rare these days. Sadly, a person's word is not what it used to be. I'm wishing I had a written contract with the loggers... We'll see if he is now going to keep his word and finish the job so I can get my critters. Meanwhile, I'm trying to learn from the TH-cam professionals like you, Mr. Judy! Thank you for all you do!
Love your stories, Mr Judy!
I was brought up in a freezing old house and an even colder boarding school. At school we often went to bed hungry but we had fire escapes and I discovered ways to prevent the kitchens being locked. I became quite popular! 😄 #Nevergotcaught
Awsome video Greg. You say north an south of you sees the rain. I can tell you I'm a hour north of you an we havent dumped out anything measurable out of my rain gauge for well over a month. Our moisture has been dew each morning.
I pray we both get some rain.
You did it again Greg! Thanks so much for the Marshal story and that great reminder to be thankful.
Fine improvement there Greg. Marshall would be proud of it!
Sounds like this has been a very long term project. Thanks for showing how are rough farm can be brought back to life. Hard work and time plus good management can make it happens.
Glad you shared Marshall's story and a glimpse and warning to be grateful for today.
Marshall's Pastures look beautiful!
Thanks for sharing Greg!
🐊🦅🇺🇲❤️
Great story Greg!
My Grandmother was born in 1908, she was one of 13 children. They lived on a working farm, ate what they raised and grew with dairy & beef cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, turkeys, horses to plow with and pull other horse drawn implements, garden and crops. All done with no tractor. She said it was very hard work as a child. She left home at age 14, was a nanny for a family but she finished high school, read while doing dishes after dinner, put the book in the window sill. It was a simpler time but was also hard on people, harder work with no tractors, trucks, then particularly when the depression hit and many people lost everything including their home / farms and businesses. A lot of people went hungry, stood hours in bread lines and daily employment lines hoping for work.
We have been getting smoke from 2 wild fires blowing in from the east since yesterday morning. Is downright smoky now, the moon is orange. We need rain too, it is quite dry. Pasture grass is dry even with a thick litter bank over the soil unless it is irrigated. Last rain here was 3 to 4 weeks ago and only .3”. Temps in the high 70’s to high 80’s and a few days low 90’s. I’m hoping for rain soon even though I am enjoying the extended warmth and my garden continues to happily produce food that I enjoy eating and put up for winter. It is a double edge sword for sure.
Robin thanks for sharing your family’s history. Hope you get some rain!
Love all of the knowledge. We can learn so much from your videos. We’ve decided to share our journey, just starting out and did an intro. We are new to all of this so it’s a learning experience and trying to get as much helpful info as we can. Thanks for being an inspiration to us and a wealth of knowledge. 👍
I’d pay money to be able to walk those beautiful pastures. I really would.
thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the video.
We live in East tn and we have autumn olive but Bradford pear is the bad one
I thought we had good grass growing. Plenty of Timothy and orchard but now I’m getting tons of broom sedge.
Marshal was right according to my Father n Law too! Papaw was stone cold deaf n both ears since early childhood from repeated ear infections and no money for doctor visits. Then little results when finally taken to the doctor once and short tempers from not getting better. My husband never told me how far he actually got n school before he gave up. But he was self taught n just about any subject and read everything he could get his hands on. He laughed at talk of the Good Ole Days! He said they NEVER happened!
To Marshall and family !
Greg, as Thoreau said, “life near the bone is the sweetest.”.
Maybe there’s a balance between the good old days and the technology attached future.
As a hunter, do you think there is a way to make pheasant habitat from your farm? Pheasants nest in grass 6-12 inches in height so your pastures would definitely work for that but they would also require some taller, CRP typ native grasses for cover. Have you ever tried rotational grazing on that sort of grass? Rotational grazing through native grasses seems much like how the bison would have done it back in the day and there were sharptail grouse like crazy back then, pheasant would thrive in that as well. Rotational grazing on natives seems like it could be the perfect way to give pheasants a lot of habitat on your farm and still make a living...would the cattle eat well on native grasses?
Love the stories! Marshal… they seldom make folks like him any longer. My grandma was that way, she was born in 1905, lived 102 years. Greg if you don’t mind sharing, I am wondering how many actual grazing acres do you control. I am curious about stocking rate. I realize that everyone has different factors. I couldn’t buy hay at these prices this year, I just sold down about 1/3rd. Of my cattle, increasing the sheep, for me it’s easier to destock and increase with sheep!
My mother was born in 1933. She told me a story of getting a spanking for stealing prunes from the cupboard and eating them. They were meant as dessert for the whole family. A kid today would think they were being punished if they were forced to eat prunes. To my mother as a little girl they were a delicacy. My mother was also a person that would never have spoken of those times as the Good Old Days.
I planted some korean lespedeza, red clover, and white clover. the clovers are in abundance but I have not seen those purple little flowers of korean lespedeza. any thoughts on why the korean lespedeza did not grow?
👍
Will sheep or cows eat autumn olives?
Pigs love ‘em
The cows eat the tips of the branches
The sheep strip them clean of leaves.
Good old days means no refrigerator and soured milk. Cars with air conditioning are fantastic. Less horse manure and flies. Indoor flush toilets are great.
Greg do you think bison can be rotated the same way?
I believe bison are harder on fences and to keep in period. They may not respect the one wire.
We live in the ozarks South of you Greg. We have 300 acres but we have a lot of hardwoods and Cedar trees we are now clearing the trees To make some pasture. We have about 22 acres now we planted seeds seeds in the Spring but because of the drought we didn't get what we were hoping for. Should we plant again this fall.?
Might make more sense to unroll hay
@@danielphillips1094 yep we just ended up cleaning out somebody's Barn that had last year's hay and they wanted to get rid of it so they gave it to us for cleaning out the barn so now we can put that down. Thanks
If true hard times come again it will be ugly.
Hundreds of stupid mad max and zombie movies meant to scare us. I'm not gonna be eaten by a shark, and there's no zombies.
The future is better than you can imagine. Tell your great grandfather about planes, computers, refrigerators, air conditioning, or fish finders and he wouldn't have believed you. We're just getting started !
You know you are old when your father was born in the late twenties . I have heard a story or two about his childhood. Picking berries to sell to The railway travellers, how the bedrooms when he was very young were so cold that water would freeze. My Mum had… I keep nodding of I will be back to finish up later 👋👋👋👋💕☘️💕🤷🏼♀️ to continue Mum didn’t suffer from living in a cold home or have to work from a young age to contribute to help her family but they both were good people who for the whole of their lives helped people in need. I mentioned that my parents had moved to the old building across the lane from my grandmother it was because his dad had died and they wanted to be close to help her. A few years later they took an elderly man into their home after they built a bedroom and bathroom in the unfinished part of the old school so that he could be comfortable and not have to deal with stairs .after he died they sold their house to my sister and moved in with her aunt DeVita and uncle Walter as she had dementia and he had lost his foot . They were like a third set of grandparents to my sisters and I . My Mum lived with them for some time as a child because her mum had a breakdown after the birth of the twins. Mum said that the girls stayed like infants for the whole of their short lives five years for one and six for the other. I can think of only one occasion that Dad and Mum didn’t agree on taking someone into their home. Mum was beloved by her father and the scapegoat child for her mother. My Aunt and Uncle were her pride and joy the golden children yet Mum wanted to take her in when the others would not lift a finger to help. It’s she who Dad refused to take into their home but mum and I took lessons on how to help her . Her condition worsened and she died not long after that. I still think about how he protected her from her Mum and I am glad he stood his ground. Too much information I have considered deleting as it wasn’t what I meant to write earlier oh well . Into every life there’s times that we walk in joy and sadness. I remember telling my late husband that I bring tears and laughter to our marriage that is another story, one that I will not share🤔
Let it be said that I and my son are living the best days of our lives. I am grateful that you and Jan and the lads are part of my new life.
😘💕💞🌟🍀🌟👍👍👍👍🍀🌟🍀🖖🖖🖖🖖😘💞💕💞🙋🏼♀️
People talk about "the good old days" all the time but when you study history you will clearly see that the generation previous always had it harder. Go back far enough and you will find walled cities because cities would attack and pillage each other. Before that you can find cannibalism.
Generally speaking, those who speak of "the good old days" are only expressing obstinate resistance to change, toxic nostalgia, and dismay over the loss of their youth.
Gotta love an Amish guy with a chainsaw!
Absolutely they are beasts with a chainsaw!!
Good morning Judys from Ohio🌄👋😊. Beautiful legacy of Marshall's family and good neighbors. Labors of love. The land is not lost. It is renewed.A generation comes a generation goes, but the earth abides forever. Eccl. 1:4
We do take many things for granted. God put me on this Mission of being self-sustainable and it's a slow process on a fixed income. But He told us there would be famines and pestilences, droughts and wars in the last days... So I've been gardening, canning, soon getting critters... because if the Lord doesn't take us out of this mess first, I'm going to have a lot of friends, family and neighbors to help when the transportation system shuts down, the animals have been culled for some reason and the last of the food processing plants have "accidentally" burned down. (They're hitting the refineries now...) It sure would be easier to have the money to get prepared while the supplies are available... But I'll do what I can as I can. Too many people don't see the writing on the wall. MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN...
Blessings.
Rest easy, pilgrim; your children's children will walk this earth and taste of it's fruits a million years from now. We will get through this together, as one people. We have been through worse already.
I do admire what your trying to do. I wish you the best
@@charleswalters5284 Thank you for the encouraging words, but please don't misunderstand; I'm not afraid for myself... it's for others that I fear. Normal is not coming back...
but Jesus is!
And I'm ready to go. I am so glad I won't be here for the worst part, thank you, Jesus, for that. But I know many have not asked Jesus to be their Lord and Savior yet ... They're determined to do it the hard way. I'll prepare what I can for them and the rest, as ever, is in God's hands. Blessings.
In the 1950s, most Black children in America actually grew up with a loving present father.
Most still do. And What the heck does this have to do with what Greg was talking about?
There were more before the 'policy' that the family could not get assistance (relief) unless the father moved out, while it was virtually illegal for the 'black' fathers to have a job good enough to feed his family. Many 'white' children grew up without a man in the house for the same reason. You're reciting the words of people who want to divide our country, making it weak.
Greg, if you want to erase this whole thread, i'd be fine with that.
