Gabe Brown, Allen Williams and Neil Dennis were all going out of business with their conventional grazing - then nature forced their hand to try grazing without chemicals because they couldn’t afford them anymore. They are now the pioneers in regenerative grazing - replacing the specter of bankruptcy with resiliency. These ranchers regenerate their soils which makes their animals healthier and their operations more profitable. Robust soils enable rainwater to sink into the earth rather than run off; and retain that water, so the ranches are much more resilient in drought.

A year has gone by with no more comments … but I still watch this every day … this is the best most motivating video in the series
Yes
@kevinmcgrath1052 - Gabe Brown, who is in this video, does a three part series on regenerative agriculture and it’s very good. Check it out.
Well said
I loved it
This video is gaining traction. More good news: UK, Woodsmith Mine, polyhalites.
“It’s extremely low stress. Because we’re working with nature, not against it”
The way this man lit up when he mentioned his mother bragging about him to her friends ❤❤❤ oh, my heart. And the fact that he would have had 15 kids if he did this earlier 😂❤ such a wholesome man!
Fabulous short film of an often unheard of story & is taking ground in many other countries. Cheers from the UK 🇬🇧 👍
Very exciting! Cow manure is gold for the soil! I hope this method spreads quickly - save ranchers and farmers lots of money, protect and improve the environment - healthier soil, animals and people! Win! Win! Win! I posted to Facebook! People need to know about this! Including us city dwellers!
I see more and more farmers catching on! Greg Judy teaches this brilliantly and now Simeon and Alex just started revitalizing a ranch in Arkansas. Love it!
What an amazing journey these farmers are on! Taking the power back from the Big Agra baddies and putting communities and sustainability first. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love these little videos. They are done so well. I live in rural Colorado, west of a little mountain village of Rye. Kinda said goodbye to TV 20 years ago. Studied art history many years ago. Worked labor fixing buildings about 40 years. Now I am studying how to make biochar for retirement pocket money. Running into opposition. They don't want anybody burning anything. New ideas! Making money with something besides driving school buses and maintaining gravel roads for same. I love these videos!
Hey man, many you can prove that burning charcoal to emend soil is better for co2 capturing? If you are Up for making biochar look Up bocashi or vermicompost maybe your city can give you mulch for local pruning or food scraps in a economical way to make profit
Still my favourite … when I’m looking for inspiration at the end of a long day I head here … uplifting
I'm so glad/ grateful for these farmers that are sustaining life for all. I just hope greedy corporations won't take them down since there's no need for chemicals etc. Just letting nature do its work. Thank you.
The pure joy on the face of this farmer in just so refreshing 10:58.
Working on a book about crawfish boats, I got to spend time with smart people doing good things with and on the land. This film is amazing. Thank you.
This kind of thing makes want to farm. Thank you for finding ways to work with Nature instead of against her.
These guys are amazing pioneers that helped give fuel to the growing movement for regenerative. Neil was a great example RIP!
so inspiring. hope all cattle ranchers worldwide get to see this !
This is the solution to many of our problems. True science back to the basics without poisons.♥️
What a joy to see this movement spread and grow! :)
Excellent! So great to see good news. Very efficient paddock fencing system.
Thank you so so much sir ,what you guys are doing is changing lives even hear in africa.
Let’s Go!!! Something about a happy farmer or rancher enjoying their trade can’t wait to what that looks like in 50 years
Have you noticed how clean and shiny the cows are in comparison to the conventional industrial?
TESTIMONY to practicing nature's lessons. 👍👍👏🇺🇲
This is the way to go! Good job! My father was a farmer who migrated from Mexico and this is how they managed their cattle and other grazing animals in the early 1900s. Nature taught and nature followed. ❤️❤️❤️
Very cool! Thank you for sharing this! We just messaged you on Instagram - Let's chat :)
Dr Pol's son Charles is a producer. He just started a small family farm... Find him, make this HAPPEN.
I just found this video and am so excited that I might be able to put cattle on my ground successfully. Iam watching it for the second time today.
And it’s the best introduction … by far !!!!
Knowing that water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas.. the water retention difference has major implications
It is great to see the ranchers in this video smile like a skunk eatin' bumblebees through a picket fence when they look at their pastures and the healthy, happy cows that eat there. I'm not a rancher but being born in MT in 1952, I have driven by hundreds of pastures that were grazed down to the nubbins. When I drive by an area of natural plant multi-culture such as we have in the north-central part of the state, it's darker green and looks to be far healthier than the cultured pastures that have been grazed traditionally. NOTE: we have more cows than people in MT. Rancher 1: Look at those pastures! The grass is over a foot high and there were cows on it yesterday. How do you do that? Rancher 2: Science, bitches!!!
Hello, I'd like to offer caption translation to Brazilian Portuguese. I believe in the value of the content for my country as well.
Magnificent, how the best ideas are paying off
Just got recommended this!! ❤ wonderful documentary!
This is excellent to see. Bless these ranchers/ regenerative farmers. Definitely need more of this in the world.
These 10 films should be reposted every time there is a dust up about cow farts or some tech billionaire telling us to all be vegetarians.
Just came from a day of training for golf course superintendents, with speakers from water agencies, chemical companies and the government. All I could think about was this video and others like it.
This is one of those movies to be watched every day ... very special
Thank-you for taking care of our beautiful Earth! I am sure this helps with parasites too. Mob Grazing. Polycultures rock! Cover crops make nitrogen fertilizer. No till farming and plants conserve soil, clean water. I am doing this on a small scale in Texas
Thank YOU
How small of a scale are you talking about? How many head on how many acres, and broken into how many plots? Thank you. Im thinking about doing this small scale myself, and am interested in hearing how it works for you and others without large tracts of land.
What an uplifting video! I wasn't expecting that. But I'm glad you put this out there. It eases a tightness in my chest. Thank you!
That horn on the front of his 4- wheeler so he can drive over the paddock wire is awesome!
Great Job! Thank you for sharing. Best of luck for Farmers!
Hello from Romania, I greet you with respect Marius 🙋🐂🤠🇹🇩
Just watching it for the first time after one of their shorts turned up. We need to spread the word.
I am very proud to be married to Neil Dennis's neice , he is dearly missed and its absolutely wonderful to have videos like this to look back on
using nature to give cows a multivitamin! giving the soil a vitamin too!
I wish I would have had these videos to share with my Hort students back when I was still teaching.
The part of working with nature instead of against it caught my attention. It made me think of the 3 sisters method of growing first used by the Mayans. In parts of central and South America farmers have returned to using it and are far more productive then using modern ways of farming by trying to force the land to artificial means.
This is really cool to see- the people who have the most reason to be in touch with the way soil has always worked are rediscovering how it serves all better to roll with the natural way. Aldo Leopold would be pleased!
AMAZING 😍 Love love love this shift - we will see more of this in the future, we need it !!
This gentleman’s information about animal production, being highly CO2 producing, is correct for industrial farms. However , many farms have moved to paddock grazing, which is much more carbon neutral than raising plants. Using paddock grazing/farming a farm can raise more cattle (goats, sheep, etc.), using much less water, no fertilizers, no pesticides, and much less machinery. Making it either carbon neutral, or an actual carbon sink, where it pulls more carbon out of the atmosphere than it produces, which is amazing! This has been scientifically studied, documented and written in peer reviewed and published papers. It’s actually very exciting to see farming, moving back to more natural ways of raising animals, which is better for the animals, better for the environment, and better for the farmer to make a living. (Not so much for the highly polluting fertilizer corporations). The cows, goats, or sheep are much healthier, have a better protein and vitamin/mineral consistency, the dairy has a greater nutrition consistency, etc.. kzhead.info/sun/gKiohaiEmZlup58/bejne.htmlsi=rk35iOTNwT8-GJzA
Great job all farms should be doing this❤️
This was fantastic! Thanks for sharing !
Gonna use this in my high school sustainability class!
High intensity, rotational grazing is an amazing tool. Its more work work than conventional systems but the results speak for themselves.
But, he commented that it is much less work and machinery and time.
A country is only as prosperous as it's soil.
Awesome, new Home School learning material
UK here awesome videos 😊
New to this. Really interesting!
Nice optimistic video. Sometimes we gotta get out of our own way.
First time I’ve seen this 😊there is hope after all . Uk
Figure out a way to put those fence posts on rovers - maybe fewer but taller posts dangling a net... Then the paddock can slowly roam like a roomba
i sure do miss hearing from Neil.
Superb. I'm from southern indian state of Tamil Nadu this method has been practiced for many years even for century's but now days it's hitting in down fall.
great video! Really hope regenerative agriculture keeps picking up steam
Can you imagine what would happen if they would run chicken tractors a couple of days after the cattle?
Gabe Brown does just that. As does Will Harris - it works very well.
carbon cowboys nice one. Loved all the episodes. Now I need to convince my best friend to take this up properly.
@@carboncowboys what is chicken tractor 🤔
@@ElvisAaronpresleybyRustyMartin It's the term for a mobile and bottomless coop for chickens typically moved every day. Popularized by Joel Salatin of Polyface. It's how real pastured poultry is produced, free of drugs and greening the landscape with every pass. It's mob grazing for fowl, but they still eat more grain than grass/bugs/slugs, etc.
A big/bug benefit, let’s call it biug and coin a new term, is the chickens eat the maggots in the poop decreasing the quantity of flying/biting insects, specifically flies…..which also benefits the herd. It doesn’t eliminate just reduce so the local wild bird population has a good source that fluctuates in a manageable range versus pest/infestation levels.
Loving this! Thank you!
This is wonderful!! ❤️
Love it, keep up the awesome work
Very informative. Thanks. Just subscribed.
Very informative. Thank you
Love this! Amazing to see minds changing.
This is amazing. Been learning a lot about this!
This is wonderful !!!
Awesome video!
Thank you very much.
Stellar!
These guys made me really happy
Need the full movie !
A powerful way forward!
Well done!
Inspiring!
This is a neat way to say I am running to many cattle for the land I have.
Really fantastic
Polyface farm, in swoop va! Been practicing and teaching this for decades.
RIP Neil Dennis
Total grass fed and finished cattle also don't havecas much gad. Their stomachs are made for grass, not grain.
I have added you to my list of people to study for the farm.
I would have 15 kids cause i spend so much time in the the "house" lol
Need9ng inspiration today … and heres the best place to get it by far
As someone with 40 acres I don't know what to do. So you might just save us. As long as we can keep cows from getting bird flu or some other pandemic I will keep trying.
This makes good sense 😊
This just warms my heart. It 😅😅😅😅
The Farmer is the Future of their own country. No wonder the Gov't wishes to control/own all the farmland.
Great 🇺🇸
Can this practice be used to graze dairy cattle? Or will there be different principles on what to grow and how long to graze?
In India we have been doing this for many centuries
I will be a successful beef rancher with this principle.
I just bought a farm in Saskatchewan so I can do this
yeah that's dope
This is the way
This may seem like a dumb question, but I have only recently learned about this practice. Obviously it does wonders for the land and soil, but when it comes to the livestock, do the people who practice this discipline see any measurable difference in the overall health of the cattle? Furthermore, do the cattle have lower instances of infection and the other illnesses and issues that one typically sees in larger herds? I know one gentlemen in a nearby farming community in Hastings, Florida who had been dealing with a LOT of infections, particularly abscesses in his stocks feet. He lost two last year to horrendous infections that ultimately led to sepsis and death of both animals while he was making a real effort to have them seen to by a large animal vet out of University of Florida. I can’t remember the number he gave me, but the dollar amount he spends every year just on antibiotics alone was staggering.
Did you watch the video? They talked about this specifically.
