This is the best simple teachings I have ever seen. It's amazing all the things you have taught us. I wish I would have known this in my teens. You are so knowledgeable. Youall are great teachers. I was watching TV TH-cam and this popped up on my screen. I have so much land and woods but not the skills . Shameful this isn't taught in all schools. Thank You so much.
We tried to enlarge our farm but over the two years that our neighbor took to decide to sell the influx of Seattle and California transplants drove rural land up from the $5,000 per acre that we paid to $35,000 per acre asking point and competing bids have driven it as high as $50,000 per acre....IN JUST TWO YEARS! I bought precious metals and am patiently waiting for the land market crash..(that’s how I got our 10 acre starter..) when it happens again I have enough cash saved to buy up 100 more acres surrounding us. Our farm was the original homestead and once had 1,000 acres..a working dairy and beef operation. We bought on a desperation sale and want to start buying back in hard times. Keep saving in good times. Now we sheep ranch the land following your example.
This is a whole magnificent ecological structure and environmental friendly Agricultural development facility project, keep it up, I've learnt alot and you have ignited my motivation to start however much small I can, thanks so much
Great video we've been following Joel for a while, he's been an inspiration to all of us small Homesteaders. Will be implementing some of his applications on our Homestead.
Thank you Mr. Daniele Chesano for the Recommendation of this Video. I will allways side with small scale Farming and Homesteading. I am a vegetarian, however i know due to my Grandparents who were small scale mountain farmers in former czechoslovakia, that permaculture gardening and homesteading can be done best with Keeping the following Animals involved, coexisting, helping us and we them: Bees (polination), Chickens (ground turning, some pest bugs eating) and Goats (bushes trimming) and a Bulls/Horses/few Cows/Sheeps ( 4 Plowing, Keeping/Survival of Graslands and their Care and Fertilising), of course only if they are free roaming. And Humans can take what they need from these Animals without having to necessarily kill them. I do however disagree with fanatical vegans who will buy products from multibillion dollar companies, like nestle- who harm nature severelly, yet they condemn small farmers 4 keeping animals, they do not know jack about natures cycles and balance. So while i personally try to avoid killing unless for shere survival, i do continue eating Milk, Eggs, Butter and Honey from small scale and/or organic Farming. It is also very beneficial to my Health. Much Love. p.s: i also support regional farming and small coops, meaning the closer to home the better.
I had heard of you for 2 years. I finally got around to watching you. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with all of us in the United States. You have helped more people than you know. thank you very much. God bless.
I love to listen and hope to absorb a substantial information to apply on my 10 H piece of Philippines upland coconut land which happens to be a micro watershed irrigating some 30 H of paddy. I acquired this beautiful yet degraded area several years ago and inventoried some 400 not so productive coconuts, 10 previously planted Cassia and 2are bearing seeds.I already planted Albizzia falcataria ( FALCATTA), 300 new coconuts. I plan to train 2 farmer-partners to be part of the stewardship enterprise to be integrated in the system.
it's been 3 years since your post, I hope your vision has manifested itself for you and your doing well on your coconut farm... sending blessings, love and good energy. ✌💜🙃🙏
This is one video which I will be going back to several times until I get it. So much has excited me and so much to learn and understand. Thank you for taking the time to share such knowledge. You stimulated my interest and opened a lot of possibilities which were unimaginable. The grazing pattern between cattle and chickens, amazing. Pigs that do not require housing for me is the greatest imaginable thing. I am blessed with great climate all year round and feel this is the way to farm. I have so much to say but I ramble, better to get on with it and see how my little 20ha plot will fare. Thank you.
Your video is very thought-provoking to me being a "conventual' farmer. Here in New Zealand, the regenerative word has just become fashionable and hard to grasp what they are on about because each guru emphasises different points. We tend to think it is a marketing word for rotational grazing but after seeing your very descriptive demonstration in your cattle paddock I can see clearly the merits and management and of course the credible results and with no imported fertiliser! Thank you.
Fantastic! My grand, grand, grand father had first in the world oil well( 1854), refinery, oil lamp invention. Tytus Trzecieski, agricultural, mining engineer, owner of big farms, Polish aristocrat became filthy rich but sold his part of oil business & returned to agriculture. He liked to be close to soil & God.
I love your professional terms and explanations for making rabbits hump. Joking aside, it's really cool and I can tell you care about the animals, the land, and how you produce meat animals. Your chickens look super happy doing their job as well. I'd love meat rabbits, and think we have too less of them in the US. It is really good meat.
If you don't feed grain what do they eat in the winter? I am now 70 and farmed until I was 61 when I got injured and could no longer do the work. I just wish that I had known about a lot of these rotational ideas back then I had 600 acres and leased another 1000. We could only run 1 unit (cow & calf ) per every 8 acres. Of course I didn't know about you tube which is really helpful often. Thank you for the information and ideas.
This video makes so much sents ,I mean taking animals to the food is incredibly easy I wish I had known about animal rotation 40 yrs ago, I guess I did but couldn't put it all together because I was taught different.
+Daniel Cesano: Thumbs up and subscribed. A model farm for sure. Hope more farmers follow up this great example. Beautiful farm too. Thank you much for posting Joel Salatin's model. PLEASE sir, answer questions about how you manage the predators' problem (racoons, mice, etc.).
Turkeys, if you use heritage breeds, they are excellent brooders and they will hatch out their own chicks (we had a Narragansett that would set ducks, chicks, any egg we put under her. ) Maybe you prefer the white hybrids, but the heritage breeds just are more self sufficient for us.
well ive been watching this series from you and i find myself really enjoying it and as a kid we have raised a few cows and i really enjoy how you are farming in a natural way and as i get older i see this is a much better way too farming so now im think i might do what you call a hobby farm but i want to produce enough food for about 30 people now which is just family so i'll teach them how too garden and farm so it can cut the food build in half or cut it out altogether
Our area has problems with feral dogs and foxes that dig under chicken coop sides, to feast. These look like an easy snack -- I wonder how to make them tougher to break into.
"40 years", this is real world knowledge a 'study' can't reproduce. Love it. I'm an aspiring urban farmer working my land and learning how to do the same with my flock, my hive, my farm dog, and my soil. I've got 14 years here, and found that every land is unique.
After 10 years the only thing most gov't departments can come up with is a dishonest reason why more money should be wasted on their failures. #NonAggressionPrinciple
Quick! Someone tell AOC what he said about smell! The trouble with agriculture is the same problem us humans have junk in- junk out we ingest tons of junk daily, in our food and in our watching and listening, then think a poisonous pill can fix our troubles. I love the trend/ movement to get back to basics and a more organic natural life, and I’m so grateful to be alive to watch it happen and participate in the shift
Hey guys, you left out an important ag item, honey bees. Your farm should be an outstanding place for honey bees what with virtually no harsh chemicals. At this point in time, honey bees are profitable and the hive products pretty much sell themselves.
Frank From Upstate NY he really inspires some of the things we are doing on our tiny farm. Getting goats to be our ruminants followed by our chickens. The chickens follow the horses right now. It works!
@@highspiritsfarm781 Interesting comment. I currently have horses, making preparations to get chickens and goats. Goats to help clear the hilly land and chickens for their eggs. Not sure how I would set up a rotation of chickens behind the horses because of the lay of my land.
@@juliamarple3202 Every step of the food process in the US is govt interfered. From processing, to packaging, to labeling. Processing Chickens, rabbits, pigs, cows are all regulated---and differently. Most of the laws are written for the regulation and benefit of the industrial food system.
From 2001, actually. No wonder he looks so much younger. :) Very interesting video. I've always been curious about some of the details of how this is done, and this helped answer my questions.
Hi Joel. Used to have almost all your books till went abroad and lost them. Appreciate these videos, I miss the books. Say would you be able to talk about your dad and losing the farm to the communists in the 50's Venezuela? I think it would be really interesting even though I know you were a child. Still its very relevant to today. Thanks again for your videos.
How do you keep predators from wiping out the chickens? Ours would at times fly over the fence and at other times we had coyotes taking the shock and going under the fence. Also ran into a weasel that presumably beat the fence .
he mentions closing the nest boxes at night so the hens dont leave their calling card and dirty up their eggs. what's a calling card? is that their poop?
Why is this video labeled as comedy in the description? By the way, I love Salatin's work. I've read several of his books and am starting to implement his practices into my family's property with my dad and fiance.
How do you keep predators out of the hen or turkey houses day or night....we just had a very large raccoon rip up bird feeders made out of oak and hard wire and tore open plastic cans with hard to open snap lids. They rip off chicken wire like it’s yarn. Foxes are not afraid to come up to our house during the day......with the large areas you have how much do you lose to these predators.

One of the best hours on my time that I have ever spent. I certainly hope that this method of farming spreads. Truly impressed!

Wake up America, this is such an incredible way to produce wholesome food. What a great video
Provided you can afford 100 open acres, and 450 forested acres.
monkeycigs he has a video on how to do that 😉

Thanks a million for sharing this with us.
❤❤~I’d love to be your side kick,listening to every word,you are a 100 karat man, looks like rewarding days, full of Gods GLORY. Love it.

Very informative. I loved learning about the different income streams you have on the farm.
Wholeheartedly loved this!
This is a one smart man that all farmer should learn from, it so simple the way he farms and yet we make it so difficult.
I love your professional terms and explanations for making rabbits hump. Joking aside, it's really cool and I can tell you care about the animals, the land, and how you produce meat animals. Your chickens look super happy doing their job as well. I'd love meat rabbits, and think we have too less of them in the US. It is really good meat.
Enjoyed footage of the pigs. Interesting details all around. Great overview of the farm. Thanks!
Waw beautiful... everything is beautiful and fresh and happy ....
This guy should run the government, taxes might actually decrease....
very interesting, a great way to spend the current lock downs. I will continue to follow you

He feeds hay in the hay shed through the winter.

I guess I did but couldn't put it all together because I was taught different.
Sents? You mean Sence? I am guessing this was a typo. I still gave you a liked despite the stupid type.
@@JennyWinters I think he actually means "sense"
Can the chickens survive by just eating from the pasture or do you have to give them all that feed?
Good Job !!! Thank You !!! God Bless !!!
What a great video so enjoyed it thanks ❤️❤️🇦🇺

Thanks for sharing this video
Dude your brilliant keep up the great work !!!!!!!!
Linda fazenda! I'm Brazilian!
YOUR A GREAT MAN JOEL SALATIN !!! THANKS DANIELE CESANO
Nowhere but on his farm. Joe is all about local agriculture.
Very much enjoyed learning about your farm and way of life. Very much impressed.
fell asleep watching gameplays and woke up to an hour deep into this
I think what you are doing is wise. I hope your birds are happy and healthy. They seem to thrive on your farm.
Wonderful Christian family and enterprise - seeking a better way and understanding through God's Holy Spirit.
Loved every minute. Thanks! (I like to watch at 1.25 speed)
Watch at 2x it's funny
This is a super video. Very educative

Well done, this was very interesting, and I love your animals, they are all smiling.
Wow what perfect way to farming.
More common sense information in this vid than a whole government dept could come up with in 10 years. Well done.

I enjoy having bees! My neighbor enjoyed an increase in his blue berry crop too.
Bob Fanning you are awesome.
maybe you could lease land you don't own to bee keepers and keep the cycle going. they get to process the honey, and you get bees, and money lol
Joel's brother, Art, does do bees on Polyface.
Very good,

hi! new friend here watching.This is what i want to have a business like this
Amazing video, very informative.
Lots of information here. The rabbit part was pretty intense
haha that's exactly what I was thinking!!! He's got a nice rabbit hareem going there!!!
I had rabbits for years but this 21 old hunk knows more than 70 years old fart like me.
Yeah has this market survived cultural sensitivity? I don't know where to buy rabbit meat.
really enjoyed this video

How do you keep predators from wiping out the chickens? Ours would at times fly over the fence and at other times we had coyotes taking the shock and going under the fence. Also ran into a weasel that presumably beat the fence .
He has geese in with the chickens
Rachel Ritter ‘goose’ , only one goose, two geese will get distracted from their job.
I run LGDs (livestock guardian dogs) and have never lost an animal to predators.
what kind of soap do you use and what other kind of farm animals can use it
Someone help us get books from this man please!!!
God knew what he was making!!! ❤️
I realized he sounds just like Champ Kind and now i cant stop thinking about it.
I can’t not hear it now.
Beautiful farming, sustainable.
I bought this video back then
thanks my friend
Thank you, gracias
34:00 that queen anne's lace is the favorite of my turkeys. They go absolutely apes*** for it
wow how can anyone not subscribe to this channel? amazing practices. Thank you for educating us
So I am curious what inputs you're putting in for the chickens while in with the rabbits.
Look how far you have come....improving on firm scientific data
very beautiful
he mentions closing the nest boxes at night so the hens dont leave their calling card and dirty up their eggs. what's a calling card? is that their poop?

How do you keep predators out of the hen or turkey houses day or night....we just had a very large raccoon rip up bird feeders made out of oak and hard wire and tore open plastic cans with hard to open snap lids.
They rip off chicken wire like it’s yarn.
Foxes are not afraid to come up to our house during the day......with the large areas you have how much do you lose to these predators.
I know he uses electric fencing that he takes down and moves with the chickens everyday.
He has perimeter fencing and guard dog.
Awesome stuff, thanks!
