Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there) Trailer 1

‪@carboncowboys‬ "Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there)” is a 4-part documentary series all about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves, heart and soil.
Can a novel way to graze cattle, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land, help get farmers out of debt, restore our depleted soils, rebuild wildlife habitat and draw down huge amounts of carbon? Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time. What if they can help save us from catastrophic climate change?
“Roots So Deep” is guided by director and wrangler of scientists Peter Byck as he meets farmers on both sides of the fence - the folks practicing a new way to graze, and their neighbors set in their family’s old style of doing things. Byck’s team of outcast scientists are measuring what’s happening on both sides of the fences - exploring if this new, adaptive grazing could help slow down climate change.
And one question looms over the whole series: even if the science shows that the new way to graze is better for the land and the farmers’ pocket books, will the old school farmers change, will they adopt the new methods? Will they evolve into climate heroes? Will they save our friggin’ asses from the impending climate catastrophe?

    No, it’s different to a four field rotation set stocking with the cattle going where they want in each whole field for 1 week to 1 moth duration. In this method, the field may be divided into four or even eight paddocks (depending on size) with the cattle only staying in each paddock for a day or two and then being moved to the next paddock. The grass is far longer than with set stock grazing and about 1/3 of the grass is left long (not grazed short) when the cattle are moved onto the next paddock. The cattle won’t return to the same paddock until all the grass has grown or ‘recovered’ which, depending on soil health, daylight, warmth and rain might be a moth, 6 months or even a year. One key factor, if it’s done right, is that the cattle don’t need supplementary feeding to finish for slaughter.

    Great book and for me an introduction to Elaine Ingham’s work. A great source of information and an enjoyable read that was quite eye opening and helped to give me a better idea about what was going on in my efforts with composting. Could probably stand to reread it again by now, it’s been about 10 years since I read the thing. A lot more of it would be likely to make sense/more sense today, on account of being more familiar with some of the ideas in the book. I also really need to get some of the other books that author duo (Lowenfels & Lewis) have published. Have you had a chance to read any of their other titles?

    I appreciate what you're doing to reveal the better practices incumbent in a more naturalistic style of farming, but the climate changes because it changes. We're not in an ice-age anymore, this is what happens when you're not in an ice-age. We orbit a 3 million mile wide nuclear furnace that is constantly trying to heat up whatever is around it. A net-warming effect is the consequence of us orbiting a main-sequence star. And, given that you're studying agriculture and supporting natural feeding principles, you should *_want_* more atmospheric CO2 since it is one of the primary parts driving the life-cycle on this planet.

No. Let's not mention him. He's had his run. Gurus that hang around too long once the idea is seeded can be a liability. He already pedals soft climate denial with semantics like "fossil fuels aren't the problem, it's how we manage them" Cha Ching!! $$$ thank you ExxonMobil. That shit is like a plague in regenerative ag. The wise elder gentleman is one side of Savory, the other side is pompous entitled & parochial. He just a human not a god.

    Why aren't we comparing this to the far more efficient and environmentally beneficial process of getting rid of animal exploitation altogether? We could feed people on far less land if we didn't need to maintain these huge masses of animals and constantly replace then with more. You even elude to this possibility in the video when you bring up bison. We could have NATIVE ecosystems sequestering the carbon and elude have to exploit the animals on the forest place. The only difference would be farming vegetables instead. And we don't have to hate on the ranchers for this. We could instead help them to transition to a far better way.
