A little late though. The government and Bill Gates owns too much farm land and has either set farms, animals (cattle, chicken, pigs etc) and our food processing plants, on fire or blew them up ("accidents or unknown reasons") and the regulations, permits, fines and or fees have gotten too tight or too expensive. Non corporate farmers these days aren't really making money they're only breaking even, and they continue doing it for the sake of everyone in America, our freedoms and\or to keep their family business and traditions going. It's sad really. People need to stop voting for Democrats bc they're trying to turn us into a fully socialist country, on the way to being communism.

@trinawhitener7753 I love science but I think many people have lost sight of one of its corner stones, uncertainty and replaced it with expertise bias. It's pretty clear to most people that "science" has been hijacked by alternatively motivated institutions (educational, corporate, & governmental) & and that's the primary reason no one trusts studies. The negative effect of this bias varies wildly between different studies (I don't think many physics or engineering PHDs are getting funding that sway the outcome of a study) with the worst culprits being medicine & climate. The entire medical industry has been taken over by a few pharma, food, and wellness companies that just want to pump out as much product as possible with little to no regard for the safety or side effects experienced by customers a great example of that is the opioid crisis, or the decades of studies saying smoking was good for people. When it comes to climate who know what to think because almost every expert is paid for by oil & gas or green companies leading to wild predictions & Climate models that are wildly inaccurate and studies that conflict with eachother. I think the best scientists are often the middle men like this Farmers, Millwrights, Nurses who's opinions often get discarded because they don't have a PhD

Bullshit! When you got 2 feet of snow. It take more energy for them cows to paw snow out to graze then actually putting up good hay. You can make good hay or shit. It's your choice, you go through the same process. So why not make some hay with high feed value and put and keep weight on your cows. I grew up milking cows. You got good soil and lots of cow shit, you can make your top quality feed every year. Oh but also you can invest in your tilable soil with irrigation and never worry about buying feed again.

Rotating crops and grazing fields is a old as the hills. They also rotate soy beans to put nitrogen back in the soil.

@tracyhasty6506

Too bad the soy beans are genetically modified to grow so they can pour round up on it, destroying the soil and everything else. Bush 1 allowed genetically modified food without any testing or studies to see if it was safe for the environment or our health. Kinda wonder why so many kids have autism and ADHD.

This is different than just rotating crops, its grazing animals to regenerat the soil. He is not tilling and harvesting the land.

Not sure where in Alabama, but it is pretty mild there year round, so that makes sense.

@laattardo

This works in colder climates also. The trick in colder areas is to wait as long as possible to pull the herds in and to push them back out to pasture as soon as possible. Yes, you may still have to supplement some hay but it's the point of how you rotate the cattle more than not.

@MamaFriday

6 ай бұрын

Yes it is mild, but there’s more to it. Typical commercial cattle farming methods require hay baling and purchase, even in mild climates. (My husband’s family owned a cattle farm in South Alabama) They still get freezes there and the grass still goes dormant. The difference is the amount of growth that can be realized in the pasture when it is grazed in rotation. Timed correctly, the grazing actually encourages optimal regrowth of the field, producing more food overall within the year. Google Joel Salatin or carbon sequestration for full explanation.

You think you can maybe convince the billionaires that are buying all the farm land? We need more men like you around. We need you around.

Brilliant 👌🏽 we have been taught the wrong way to farm harmoniously. This should go viral. Every farmer needs to see this.

My Dad Loved the outdoors. He grew up poor but they worked hard and he taught me to respect everything. His favorite type of hunting was quail. He taught me to be an ethical hunter and fisherman. When I see someone like this Man I smile because his philosophy reminds me of my hero.

This is the same as my grandfathers and great grandparents did. It’s not about the mega ranch/farm anymore. But more back to the farmers of the 40s and 50s. A small herd on a small plot compared to large on big.

Hi Theo, I hope your head concussion is better. If you feel dizzy, or nauseous, please call a doctor. I saw a picture of Bee , she is gorgeous. You are bringing Miracle Mountain back to her former glory. One step at a time.

Thank you for running your farm in the older, better regenerative way. You are helping your cows enjoy excellent health, balancing the ecosystem and probably lowering overhead keeping your farm & family financially well at the same time. Please help other farmers, ranchers understand this is the way to save our farmers from government imposed poverty, financial freedom, healthier food, healthier livestock, healthier planet. USDA should be teaching this! 🐂😊

But we got "3 months off every summer". Best thing I can come up with is retirement and medical insurance. And yes,we too have cows, but we do bale our own hay. We don't have hundreds of acres, so we do what we have to do.

Thank God for people like this man. If we learn to work with mother nature, naturally, she will reward us in abundance.

My neighbor rotates cattle and doesn't cut hay. We are right beside the summer pasture. I'm always glad when I hear them mooing behind the house in the summertime.
