Thank you guys for doing this. Very informative for people who want to know more or for people like me who are new to this interest. Thanks for mentioning honoring God, really appreciate that as well.
Great presentation. You should train your sheep to a single poly wire, much easier than that bulky netting. 30 cm off the ground works fine.
Why go back to cash crops after you have perennial pastures established? You dont have to. Check out Colin Seis - Pasture cropping. Sowing cool season cash crops into dormant warm season perennials.
Great presentation. It seems that both guests used herbicides to terminate their perennial pastures before converting it back to an annual cash crop. Would their be any way to transition it back without the use of tillage or herbicides? I was thinking possibly multiple heavy grazings to weaken the perennial root systems then drilling in a round of dense cover crop to supress the perennials such as rye/ fixation clover for a winter cover and then a summer cover of sorgum-sudangrass/sunnhemp. And maybe after several rounds of covers it would shade out the perennials.
Have they ever considered using a prairie grass mix for their perineal break?
What do you mean, exactly, by "perennial break"?
These soil testing labs should be done out of every University. Or least landgrant universities.
