Can we do things locally and not have to monopolize everything into massive corporate entities that don't care about anything except green paper/ones and zeros?
*The essential problem with •ANY• device connected to the internet is that there is no way for such connections to be 100% secure from outside interference, regardless of whether the interference comes from a malicious private individual, group of private individuals, or some form of local, state, or federal government entity. With the current worldwide political climate that is extremely anti-domesticated livestock animal in focus, I wouldn't trust a virtual fencing system any further than I could pick up an adult sized mamma cow and throw her.*
Virtual fencing would be great if you could do it without satellites, subscriptions, and being connected to the Internet. Otherwise, it's just providing more data to be used against your interest by powerful people.
Cost per cow is crazy. You still need to have a perimeter fence or you're gonna have a crisis. If you have Silvopasture they are not gonna charge up the batteries. Farmers will think they can stop herd checks daily and farming is going to go down hill. This will not be cheaper and as most technology it sounds better in theory than in real world reality. NO THANKS.
This is mostly a great video but the word that is missing is for people to understand is inoculation. Simply put, make your biochar by whatever method you choose, break it down, inoculate it with molasses, urea and mix it in to compost for a season and it is ready to use. It’s so easy. I’ve been using this method for 5 years now and have to literally give it away. I have black soil with worms and organic matter in my desert El Paso sand that I started with
"Triticale: the Supergrain that You've Never Heard of" unless you are a fan of the original Star Trek slates to be grown on Sherman's Planet but the Klingons poisoned it highlighted by dying Tribbles!!!
I'm new to Rot. Grazing: still researching and learning. I have 4 pygmy goats. They've become my "guinea pigs". Challenge at the moment is to keep 2 Adults and 2 kids out of my large yard where I have planted a small garden and wish to plant edible and medicinal plants. Watching this video makes me 🤔 ... think of my yard fence as perimeter fence. Plan at the moment: add 2 more electric wires at bottom of existing 2 strand electric fence. Then, set up temp., movable paddocks outside that perimeter on remaining land. My husband is battling advanced cancer so I'm doing this alone, with occasional help from adult children. Daily attention to my "herd" would be up to me and our 36 yr old Down Syndrome son, who has become quite a good goat herd with just our dog and a bamboo stick! 🤭🤗 ... but he does need a break. If anyone has suggestions for temp, movable electric fencing on a Social Security budget ... I'm all ears! Edit: yes, my plan is to expand my herd and I'd >like< to have a larger breed of goat. I'm thinking of asking our neighbor if I could borrow his herd of 8 Boer goats. 🤔 ....or maybe even borrow Brother-in-law's cows. ...still pondering.
Wonderful video, thank you so much. I wonder if you could go into the appropriate rotations for different animals regarding how much land you have. How often to rotate on a half acre, fully acre, how to maintain good pasture for these animals and their health
Unfortunately there isn't a calculated answer. It depends on rainfall, forage types, animal mixes etc. It's an art, not a science. I would check out our video on partial graze versus total graze
Definitely not saying they are an ideal company. Just covering their work in the regenerative space. I don't think there's any large corporation with all good practices. They are understanding like Pepsi that their supply chain is in jeopardy
On the Eastern Shore of Maryland, they are working on Strains that are more tolerant of salt in the soil. They already have developed Rice Strains that will grow in Salty Soils, constantly damp, not flooded fields. Also working on Perennial Grain Crops for a double Late Fall-Winter-Early Spring Harvests.
Not knocking the video maker but how can triticale a genetically modified product fall under the organic foods market…. Goes against everything organic is… that tells u bs the organic market is…
Look at Russia for food safety? LMO! They are such a paragon of virtue. They would rather kill their own people brutally rather than have them eat something that MIGHT be bad for them.
All things we have now are modified hybrids. Cattle, chicken, horses. All plants are hybrids modified by man If you don't consume them you are going to starve!
The gods (plural!) may have made the earth, but people made, among other things, the Netherlands, tractors, scythes, glass, kettles, paper, and generally so much of the beauty in our world - it's all made by people, or with the guidance of people. Perhaps if the gods did not want us to do this tinkering, they would not have created us, or set into motion the effects that resulted in our creation out of the Great Rift Valley in Africa, in the first place.
@@Stan_in_Shelton_WA You're an expert, eh? They started experimenting in 1946. First public application in 1953. On second thought, you're stupid, or a troll. :)
