    We raise pigs,rabbits,layers,broilers and our main enterprise is dairy goats. Started planting cover crops 3 years ago. We invested in a Genesis no till drill this year. If the math works out it will pay for itself in 2 years. Gabe brown and Ray Archuleta are awesome sources of resource. Looking forward to more pig videos.

    OMG, where have yall been? You guys are great. Your content has sparked my mind to research farming on another level. My hope is to have a small farm for me and my family to improve our health and be good stewards of the land. Learning about free-ranging animals is taking us back to a simpler time of raising animals responsibly and humanly. I always say animals should be thanked and honored for giving us food in this cycle of life. Thank you guys for the knowleged.

    If you have pigs seed pumpkins turnips and radishes and move them often so they don't do to much deep tillage

    A percentage represents a ratio so technically it could be expressed in PPM, or even Parts Per Billion (PPB); depending on what is being referenced. Most day to day percentages we use are parts per hundred but as soon as you get into the sciences percentages often reference either PPM or PPB but are usually just annotated as PPM or PPB to eliminate this confusion. Organic matter is likely PPM, 3000 parts organic matter per million parts of the whole, “parts” being any volumetric constant you wish (cubic inches/cm/yards/meters), would then be defined as 3% organic matter. Congrats on the Savory accreditation btw!

    What book would you suggest as a reference on grasses and cover crops. Something I could use to see what choices are best for winter, summer, geographic areas, the ones with side effects like you mentioned about 2 weeks post freeze etc.

    Hi Ryan, since we have the drill, we mostly just use it because it is VERY effective.

    Dez B from Oklahoma. I dont have a large piece of land by any means, about maybe 5 acres of not sloped land. Is your process for cattle something that would transition well for horses and other livestock other than cattle?

    At around 27-28 minutes you mention nitro radish. You talk of the size and soul breaking. Are you concerned about the holes left being a hazard to the livestock?

    Armor on the soil. 43 inches rain? Better give up the cattle to raise ducks. Nope, just kidding! Listening to life in the fields is why Grampa stopped farming when he was so old he had trouble handling a team of Morgens. He never did like tractors and so on, and like his father-in-law, our de-dan-v-wis-ki, sacred Healer, refused to use chemicals even when threatened with arrest for not obey stupid rules put up by the democrats during WWII. Those fools nearly caused a major riot by the people who saw Grampa as our head man, a civil leader of the People.
