At their individual and collective cores, UA’s team members believe there is no more important pursuit than to help you improve the health of our living and life-giving soil and they are dedicated to your growing and regenerative success.
That was one of the most encouraging short videos I have ever seen. I am a family practice Physician and my number one tool in restoring health is teaching patients to eat ruminant meat on the path to restoring health. Chronic disease can be reversed in an analogous way to restoration of the soil.
It is "good"- in Hebrew reads it was functional, and operated as designed. Adam was not functional, like all the animals coming two by two, until Eve was split out from Adam.
I’m all in on the content of this podcast, but being the right thing to do isn’t enough to convert our farmers. It must make a difference economically. So far increased phytonutrient content is not easy to measure nor is it rewarded economically.
"Legumes are overrated" You take that back I will be for the rest of my life 90% Alfalfa on all of my pastures. East Central Minnesota, it's tough to get grasses to really perform where Alfalfa never quits. My stocking density, tons per acre, performance of the cattle, everything with Alfalfa is much better by a large margin But our pasture is only there for 5 years at the most, and then it rotates with row crops. If we leave a hay field longer than 5 years, it starts going backward on soil health I like the perennial ryegrass, hairy vetch,broam.. with the Alfalfa An older neighbor who did not go broken our area headset more guys went broke trying to avoid taxes then guys went broke paying taxes
i never know exactly if these types of webinars are talking about irrigated or non-irrigated pasture. i wish there was something that talked specifically about the difference and how to do a grazing plan with a ranch that has both summer(irrigated) and winter (non irrigated) land.
As a physician I have brought back people from the dead through a heavy to exclusively meat diet. The burden of proof should be on those who say there's any problem eating meat. Meat is the only thing you can safely eat everything else should be questioned.
After dealing with autoimmune issues, food allergies, irratable bowl, brain fog, impaired vision, arthritis, skin rashes, and cronic fatigue for a long time I finally came to the conclusion to try eating what only would have been available were I live over 10,000 years ago. In northern Pennsylvania that would have been mostly meat and water. The change in my health in just a matter of days was night and day. Previously I ate what would have been considered by today's standards a very healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables daily, low fat, whole grains, etc. All of those prior ailments have gone away since switching to a primarily meat based diet. We have been an organic farm for over 10 years and now we are regenative farming, the health differences I and my family have personally experienced have convinced me this is what's best for our health. I am glad to hear doctors such as yourself speak out about the benifits of eating meat.
Thank you both for the work you do. Great discussion. Here is a quote from the past: We have, in other words, all the necessary elements of logic for reasoning from the good soil to the best of health, or from the poor soil to the direst of disease in the animals which consume the products of the soil; but we have not assembled those elements into the necessary whole to arrive at the logical conclusion. Our agricultural reasoning is in much the same condition as was the passenger transportation of the country before the existing railway lines had been grouped into great transcontinental systems. We should be able now to take the entire “trip” from starting point (good or poor soil) to terminus (good or poor health) without having to make the local stops.” - Plowman's Folly by Edward H. Faulkner
Have you tried ground alfalfa hay for mulch? Trying this on a few potatoes this year. Thought is the alfalfa will provide some nutrients while being used as cover. Blessings
Truly hope this is the future. It has to be. Conventional farming is unconventional in regards to sound science. My plow-pan neighbors disagree with me.
I love hearing about orchards that incorporate sheep and grow diverse pasture below their trees. Its like corporations are trying to increase the cost of production instead of decreasing the cost of production and adding more value to the products. This is an inherent wrong way of doing business. Capitalism has the bull by the udder.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to create and post this video. It's always great to see these clear examples that are the result of corresponding management..
Perhaps you should team up with Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D. She’s very deeply involved with and has even testified before Congress about glyphosate. Unhealthy land/soil management is making us ill and killing us. This vid should go viral, but sadly, only a very few people will ever see/hear this brilliant information. I’m sending this to everyone!
I just spent a few hours in farmland areas in Maryland and Pennsylvania. I saw too many naked fields.😞 Should I stop by and give the farmers your names and info, or is that inappropriate?
I have been sending regen youtube videos to my brothers and a neighboring farm couple. The neighbor had begun rotational grazing last summer/fall and they now have much more forage growing on their pasturelands. We are in northcentral PA. One farm on the way to our county seat would greatly benefit from Gabe's book and Greg Judy's books to improve their pastures OR videos covering the same info. The biggest issue is that the universities, extension service, and other government and big ag suppliers push monoculture farming to sell their inputs. Look at 100,000 Beating Hearts to see how chemical fertilizers were sold to farmers in the 1940's and look for Steve Kenyon video with the farm income graph that shows farm incomes and big ag incomes. In the 1940's is when farm incomes decreased and big ag incomes increased.
If you know the farmers personally, sure. Imagine if someone came up to you and told you how you do your job is really wrong and you should talk to this person or that person about it? Some times you can approach people in a way that brings them to seek out the information, other times, you will just make someone mad and insulted.
Most excellent story by Allen @ 37:00 regarding California orchard and the comparison of soil in the tree row vs soil in grass strip. *Which one is your cash crop* ? 🤯 Mind blowing question. Great job Allen
Excellent demonstration and explanation Chuck! Sheep seem to be well suited for this type of orchard situation. I graze goats, and was imagining them climbing all over the trees. Perhaps with a taller canopy, goats could be of similar value for grazing the forage cover. Question, how are these aisles going to be managed prior to harvest? (you indicated that they wanted them bare for gathering nuts.
The covers are mowed tight in the middles so the nuts can be laid down. There is a picture in this video that shows the nuts windrowed. Because it is dry in the summer, the mowing completely terminates the covers. The tree rows still have vegetation because the nuts are caught or harvested off ground and then laid down. Goats will likely get at the lower limbs, or likely will do so. I would first suggest a small paddock and watch them closely.
Allan, another way to look at in the scriptures, and so relevant when you were talking about Hebrews. I believe the word “burned” as referring to the ground that has grown up in thistles and briars means it lacks the ability to take in water, therefore burned is when our management leads to “drought” which I believe is synonymous with burned in scriptures. It also refers to the last days and the wicked being burned as stubble, seems obvious that it refers to a fire. But what enhances fire, drought conditions.
Can’t overlook the magnificence of abundance described in Numbers 13:23 and it also describes being able to support the giants! As another observation, purely my interpretation of worlds without number… God commands his creation to multiply in their own sphere (world) as infinite as the heavens are large the worlds without number is infinitely small in the opposite direction talking soil and the sphere in which it occupies.
I am considering very carefully what you're teaching and I am guessing that you believe the climate change agenda is true. I could be wrong but I think that is what you believe. Sorry if I am wrong.
