I'm not a CNN fan but hats off to them for covering this topic.

I wonder how much people like bill gates fought this.

Congratulations to CNN. How many acres of corn and wheat should be converted to grazing instead of feed lots.

25 years later Joel salatin and gabe brown can say “F ing finally!!!”

And Bill Mollison - Permaculture 1960's (not strictly about cows but covers all the bases with letting mother nature do her job)

CNN do more coverage of this!!! Great Interview!!!

Makes perfect sense even to this city boy. Amazed to see CNN airing this. There's hope for the world after all.

50 years later Alan Savary can say "I told you about this in the 70's." His TED talk is eye-popping.

Imagine if he had kept silent. Would this movement had come this far? And now it's our onus to keep it growing. Literally.

Years ago I watched a short film about reclaiming land at the edge of the encroaching Sahara. For many years roaming herds of ungulates were blamed for the phenomena as their urine and sharp hooves caused the loss of topsoil. When actual scientific observation and study was done it showed that the opposite was the case. It was the thinning of the herds that was correlating with increased loss of topsoil. Areas, where the herds moved through, showed healthier vegetation growth.

That's a compelling study Nick. Do you have a link to that short film by any chance - I know it's been years since you've seen it.

​@@peterbyck4221 I can't even remember exactly when I saw it. I think it was on the Discovery channel back in the early nineties or even the late eighties. The fact that it has remained obscure may mean that they discovered their thesis was wrong, or it just got forgotten. Hans Asperger's observations of autistic children remained unknown for many years before they were unearthed, so it just may be that with all the social/political upheavals of the region that their work was forgotten. This guy, www.youtube.com/@mrbisse1 has some video about rehabilitating some pasture on his farm by letting the pigs graze and stir things up.

I haven’t heard a bob white in over 25 years. Great to know ethically raising cows can be sustainable and a big plus for the environment.

We gotta keep this fight going against the machine! Keep up the good work!

BRAVO! A huge piece on CNN, in my mind probably has the broadest base of viewers :)

Absolutely Amazing!!

Hell, yes. Even the main news has got the message.

Thanks CNN for highlighting what some farmers have known for decades! It just wasn’t conducive to the sales of products by large Ag corporations.

At last this is hitting mainstream media!

More water held by the roots when it rains = cleaner rivers, more fish. And no more chemical fertilizers, pesticides, Round-up in the ocean!!! And ranchers make a LOT more money.

Exactly! AMP Grazing and regenerative agriculture can help not just farmers, but everyone who surrounds them as well!

Would love to see a 1 year update! Thanks for reporting on this, Bill!

Wonderful! I hope it catches on because I do not want to eat lab grown meat🤢

*Bison not buffalo in North America. That said, great to see some truth finally surface as sustainable patch-burn-grazing and rotational grazing of native prairie grasses is a huge way to help with climate actions across North America.

Don’t forget the Dung beetles. The real winners. No smell. No piles of piles left. Native grasses with root 12-15 ft down. It’s insane. Buffalo did the same thing, instinctively.

This is information that every human needs to know! Nature has tools for us, and we need to leave our technological hubris behind before we destroy all of it!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR WORD TO SPREAD ON GRAZING REGENERATIVELY, THANK YOU, BILL WEIR FOR HAVING THE WISDOM TO BRING THIS LIFE ALTERING METHHOD TO LIGHT. ROOTS SO DEEP YOU CAN SEE LIGHT NOT THE DEVIL...

Great piece.

Thanks! We're blown away by Bill Weir's support.

It's not just about climate change. Regenerative farming is also necessary to put nutrition back in our food and get toxins out! The dead "food-like" substances that fill the processed foods sections in grocery stores are responsible for virtually all the chronic diseases that are overloading our healthcare system and causing early miserable deaths.

“Going against the grain…” - no pun intended.

Chuffed to bits here in the UK, this is beautiful

I'm shocked this was shown on CNN! However, I highly doubt that regenerative farming will get much press in the future. Corporate interests have been controlling the narrative since the 1950's.

Dont forget all the water issues related to the current farming practices. Every field in iowa has tile lines trenched thru it. So when we get any amount of rain, it floods really bad or we get 3-5ft bubbles of water rushing down our streams and rivers. That just sucks top soils, and nutrients down those tubes and out to the oceans within a few weeks

Common across humanity until ww2. That when big Ag moved in and today we have Monsanto ( or Bayer or a German company sharing bayers ownership to throw us off the label )

Would be interested to see the numbers. In wildfire country, open grazing is needed to eat all the fuel down. Places like Montana and California have almost zero rain half the year. Especially California. Not so sure regenerative grazing would work there. At the same time, they don’t t fertilize or irrigate at all. They Dry farm then ship the cattle to Colorado feed lots. One thing that would make California’s efficient is allowing for local butchering of cattle instead of shipping them off.

After 50 years of conventional farming we have started rotational grazing of about 50 Hereford cows. Nothing prettier than a healthy herd of cows grazing grass instead of being confined and eating corn.

I'm shocked CNN showed this story. Amp farming is the solution. Not normally what CNN advertises.

No mention in this CNN article about the number one carbon sequestration system in the world. Healthy grassland prairie. Roots so deep. Mammals breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. What happens to the carbon? It’s moved down and locked into the soil.

You should reach out to Fox News and have them feature this info

Sarah Taber talks about this. She tells how current american farming is modeled after 1950s factories. You grow food for animals one place, feed them in another. They all happen in silos. But it is inefficient in the long run, not to mention inhumane for animals and bad for our health as well. She was explaining how moving animals around on the land was the way to go. Glad to see this in action

Curious for the peer review

👍

Cows and livestock do not contribute nearly as much as cities. They say that they “can’t measure” ( I call BS) industry, humans, vehicles, paving, houses, buildings, etc..

So excited to see you guys getting some much needed national exposure!! I want to see this series so badly, the teasers on YT are great but I want the deep dives! 😊

WOW! Even CNN now admits that God has/had a better plan all along. Hmm

“Do they have a plan to scale?” 🙄

This piece made me hate CNN less than I used to.

Most cattle aren't even grazed. This is a very small percentage of the cows we use for food. What we eat are kept in massive buildings and fed corn and never see a field. Even if every one of these farmers changed to this method it's nothing in the big scheme of meat production. CAFOs don't need land so why would they bother with this.

God made cows and they exist on the earth and it makes total sense they can exist without hurting the earth. Human beings twist and warp all things.

Can it scale? Not to the ridiculous size of modern farms. But it can 10x the reveue per acre... and it can scale enough to put more farmers back on the land... large scale farms are better for john deere, monsanto, and Cargill... will the world starve? No, but the ethanol plant may go broke... not sad.

Actually it can scale like that. There is one couple in Texas that runs 5000 cows on their operation - and they run it themselves.

He looks like Ron desantis lol

It your meat locally from small farmers!!

This is not new they’ve been doing this with sheep for quite a while

0:33 blaming it on the farmer instead of big ag that controls them? How do the conventional farmers survive the transition away from big ag?

Wood hooo

💦 'promo sm'

Ok but that’s labeling livestock not cows. What percentage of that overall 14% belongs to cows. It’s much smaller so we need to get the breakdown first to understand cows part in that percentage. Simply watch animals in the wild like bison, wilder beasts etc. they move in, graze, stomp, leave manure and move on. It’s nothing new.

The same thing works for sheep and pigs as well.

I always found it funny that we blamed cows so after millions of dollars y’all came to conclusion that it was the cows fault lol

No way... Sherlocks.... "simple hack".... it's nature's way... just get outside... go as far from the city and watch nature... all the answers are there!
