We've been clearing a fence row also. Enjoyable to see the progress. A good tired at the end of the day and food tastes even better after hard work. Thanks for the video. Merry CHRISTmas!
I want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and being a great Stuart of the land! I am starting a farm soon and you are sharing and talking about what I have wanted to do for a long time, but wasn’t sure if it would work. Another person I have pulled knowledge from is Jon D Liu. He is all about permaculture and repairing the land. It’s amazing how this all overlaps! I also could never start a farm doing what so many do with having stock yards of cattle and other animals and have them live in such terrible conditions. Seems ridiculous to work so hard and destroy the land at the same time! Keep on sharing! I have about a month to go until I move out onto the land we purchased and get the farm going.😇
Ben, I hope you can ski in the great BC again soon. Hope you've had the opportunity to check out Sun Peaks Resort, my favorite play ground. If not, put it on your next itinerary.
Just ridiculous, they kill off any living thing then leave it bare, then wonder why they have so much erosion. Good job, Greg. Keep those cattle regenerative and start the next generation of food.
That’s a big problem, and it’s also being being back by crop insurance and government handouts. Its going to require a re-education of the entire system if you ever want it to change.
If governments really wanted to spend money to improve save the environment from destruction, they would offer free training for no till farming, cover cropping, and holistic livestock management, then give every crop farmer a no till seed drill. But that would require intelligentce, understanding, and the desire to actually make progress. But you can't make progress with Congress😆! Looks like we're on our own on this one!
And the Supreme Court conclusions in favor of Monsanto...this is a scenario that repeats itself around the world. At least in India the farmers keep their pitchforks sharp and pointed at the right people.
If there is a spring near the hillside dark soil, It could also be an old pig pin. I have an area like that on my farm. When I asked the old timers, I was told pigs.

@@AlsHomestead thank you for clarifying that, I knew crazy wasn’t correct but I had a seniors moment and that was what popped into my mind Crazy is a word for quilts not people,
Unrolling hay on top of it and feeding livestock that deposit manure and urine on the broomsedge really hammers it. If your inpatient and want to get rid of it in one year, put 3 ton of lime per acre on it, followed by some rock phosphate application.
I do enjoy your channel and all the information you share about the land and how good you take off your animals. Keep up the great work!! But it all comes with a great team of people working with you. Are those your two sons that work with you?
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher oh okay, so you have people that come each year and stay on the farm and work with you to get experience with cattle, the land and what is all involved in raising cattle? I think it’s amazing that you have a program like this that helps young men or women learn from you and you do have alot of knowledge when it comes to all this. How many years have you been doing this? And do most farmers there lease property to graze the cattle on and is it cost effective to do it this way. I know my grand parents actually leased a farm my entire life from a family member and it was 100 acres. And we utilized that entire farm and the land for different farm animals and growing hay and corn for the winter for the cows and breeding. I enjoyed growing up and just being in the farm and my favorite place was the garden with my grandfather here and I spent many long hot days growing and reaping in all the wonderful veggies and we sold allot of things from there along with hay, eggs and chickens we raised.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher I was figuring that was the way to go on the land is leasing it especially as much land that you have to lease to care for all those Cows
Ben and Isaac are interns, correct? But Ben said he'll be brush hogging at home? Does he have animals or monoculture farming at home? Is he learning better practices from you?
What does money matter if you degrade the land so badly with tillage to the point you can’t even make money with cash crops? Check out Gabe Brown too. He’s cash cropping in ND with cover crops and cattle and making more money not taking government handouts. We have socialized the American farmer and it’s going to be the end of our civilization once all the land has been degraded.
@@christophergruenwald5054 we have a renter right now and I don’t know if I want to rely on grazing 340 acres for my income or if I should get a real career I’m 17
Don't depend on governments laws to fix things on farms and ranches. Even when they mean well they don't realy know what they are doing. They are just as likely to demand things be done in ways that don't realy work. Or they get side tracked by political money and powerful people. Improvement is made when knowledge and freedom are allowed to work. At this time many governments are planning methane and carbon taxes on ruminant animals. While promoting the idea of insect protein and vat grown protein.
I watched the documentary "Kiss the Ground" yesterday and cried. I love what you and others are doing to restore the land.
Thanks for posting this, I hadn't heard of it but will watch it tonight!
That is beautiful land . The hills , trees and of course the grass ! You guys have the life . Out on beautiful property with a great herd of cattle .
My word Greg, talk about beautiful country!

I can NOT get over how green the pasture is!
what nice men, I hope our daughters find guys like Isaac and Ben ❤️.

The trail story makes me think of Allan Savory's analogy of 365 donkey days!
Ready to watch
bought your book recently cheers
Hope y'all have a Merry Christmas!

Pray my husband , son and I find a property to start our farm soon?
@@Jj-gi2uv No we will stay in Missouri.

Very good
There is a word for someone who is doing the same thing over and over in expectation of getting a different result is it crazy?
What you commented is the definition of insanity.
@@AlsHomestead thank you for clarifying that, I knew crazy wasn’t correct but I had a seniors moment and that was what popped into my mind
Crazy is a word for quilts not people,
Ive combined a field with a slope the top was yielding barley 30 bu/ acre the bottom about 80 bu/acre. Thats decades of tillage. Not my field btw
Hey Greg tell us hat Sedge is and how to kill it

These two young men are our interns that work with us for a year.

We have had a farm intern program since 2006. Many folks lease land to graze livestock on, more economical than buying the land.

Could you still make money doing what you do on productive crop land?
Check out Colin Seis/ pasture cropping, also just commenting to follow this thread.

Excellent stewardship by reducing erosion
Covercropp by law, while we are the flattest country.
