Back in the day: my great aunt and uncle kept a small dairy farm (< 15 cows). Every morning, after milking, they would separate the cream, which was sold to the local dairy (cream was a cash crop that paid the property taxes). The whey was mixed with everything (leftovers from meals, corn huskings, pea pods, etc) and fed to the pigs (usually two). In the fall, they butchered the pigs and smoked the meat with country cures (salt, honey). Life was . . . not affluent . . . but . . . beyond good. They lived the American dream. Nostalgic? You bet. This is a life I dream about.

2 years on I'd like to +1 this. Whilst Joel repeats himself a lot in thought (not leaving much cap to be interrupted) too many interviewers ask a question then interrupt the answer

Thank you for a great question and the thoughtful and answer. I am a new homesteader/farmer and have read most all of Joel's books among many other farming books as well as watched hundreds of hours of KZread farming and homesteading videos. I left the City of Chicago six months ago and bought 46 acre property in Missouri that I am currently building fencing, water etc on so as to homestead and have a small farm operation. I am appreciative of the nuances Joel spoke to in this video. There seems to be no one right way to farm a piece of land but rather an amalgamation of right opportunities to take along the way. I greatly appreciate the careful thoughtfulness of Joel's response as there needs to be a consideration of middle ground to make farming both profitable and responsible. Well done to all on this produciton.

Joel is 100% right! Some cattle are bred for grain & some for grass & you cant change them.

My favorite quote comes at 41:12 “Perfection is not easy, and it doesn’t come cheap.” Relating this to insurance (which I used to sell), there was a famous quote that is germane, paraphrasing here, “People demand the unalienable right to sue for whatever misfortune befalls them, yet expect their insurance to be priced like they’ll never be sued.”

27:48 exactly Sina!!! Exactly!! Too dog on long on grain in feed lots which - we are what we eat so we are eating depressed anxious malnourished beef for example… don’t start me on production chicken houses. I have helped too much with them and I understand how they work to a T and I want nothing to do with them. I have 3 chicken tractors, 1 full of Cornish cross, the other 2 full of egg layers and a coop full of egg layers. The yard looks great!!!! I also have 4 pigs- 1 feeder 1 guilt 1 sow and a shoat (young boar). They are in a pen with deep bedding like Joel explained about his buddy. They eat kitchen scraps and grain here and there. My beets did not take this year..so no root crops for them year. Maybe this fall I can get a good crop of beets.

I enjoyed listening to this very much. We are a small independent family poultry farm. I so agree with the perspective that perfection is not easy & doesn't come cheap. There are so many details to consider & coordinate with farming, & there's also the reality of resources & capacity for the farmer to integrate into the decisions. We plan our work, & work our plan, & we do the best we can with what we have; & we're willing to study & learn, & we adjust as needed & to the extent we can afford. Thanks for sharing a great interview. Informative & interesting & intelligent. 😊

Answered so many of my questions thank you so much

Thank you for helping me better understand the various interactions between animal types and associated nutritional requirements.

There is certainly a difference in beef quality on different pasture types and even seasonal differences. When I was finishing African Sanga cattle breeds on veld, there was always a difference between summer (mostly green grass and brows) and winter (standing hay and high protein seed pods) compared to neighbours with kikuyu/white clover or star grass irrigated pastures. I had also planted Carob trees with the intention of using the high energy pods for pig rations, but had to leave the farm before these matured.

My Grandparents were born before 1890 so they grew up with parents who still farmed on the ways that worked for their grandparents who came to North America in the 1840s and settled in the Midwest. The Rule for raising livestock was "so many acres per animal" be it cattle, horses, pigs or chickens, plus acres for hay for winter feed. You could raise many chickens on 1 acre (over 50 layers and 50 meat) without needing winter feed but a little "chop", a mixture of grains ground up, would suffice in the winter. Pigs uprooted the ground so they were best penned and fed slop (kitchen scraps and dishwater) and some 'chop'. Cattle needed 2-3 acres per animal during spring, summer and fall plus hay (dried and baled pasture grasses) in the winter. , I don't recall how many acres in pasture grasses for baling winter feed needed to feed 1 cow. Lastly, horses needed more acres per animal to keep it in enough grass to last through the spring, summer and fall plus hay in winter feed. The last part of this Rule was you didn't have more animals than the number of acres you owned to adequately feed them or else your animals would starve to death, usually in the winter. 10 acres was not enough for a human family of 4 to raise enough animals to feed both them and the animals needed to survive. Then prices of meat to sell and grain to sell for additional income to fix farm equipment plus taxes and many more expenses became impossible to sustain a family of 4 on 120 acres somewhere in the mid 30s and 40s. If you could buy more land you needed more hands to the extra work required to produce enough to live on. Gov Laws restricted the number of houses that could be built per farm - 1 was the restriction, unless you paid quite a lot of money to subdivide your farm then you were back to square one with the number of acres per family of 4. It was cheaper for the kids to move to town and get a job, helping out at the farm when they could. And so the Snowball grew.

What I got from your comment is you want to trash folks. Didn't see any points I should be concerned about. Less ranting and insulting and more sharing of knowledge, please.

Poor Joel........spitting and sputtering around....Tries not to step on toes ! She said up front she feeds no grain. But Joel would not tell her shes a liar.....because her animals are eating grain. Its called grass seeds ! Along with many other seeds. Greg Judy also tries to tell people his cows eat no grain. These people are a total joke !!!!!
