More information about the nice looking cattle would have been good. Otherwise a very informative video. Breeds of cattle for grassfed beef and verity of plants go together. Thanks for a interesting video.
Great farming, really sends out a very positive message in terms of ecology and healthy, sustainable food production! A very forward thinking and progressive farmer, great to see!😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very insightful video. Provides useful information on green manures that can be adapted for other settings, for example, an allotment. Where the quantity of compost needed is difficult to supply. This video helps to develop a long-term plan for your plot.
Good video. One way that could be incorporated into farming would be to bring back setaside, however have a herbal lay for 3 - 5 years as to be effective, before rotating the land back into food production. Modern farming as it's often called is the product of two world wars and a push for local food production at the cost of all else.
Very knowledgeable and intelligent farmer with a great looking crop that’s not only great for fattening livestock but is great for the bees and other insects and environment as well! Fantastic 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐝
If you need to get roots fast, you need to mix in an annual rye. It will root and grow very fast and allow the rest of the mixture time to root. You may also want to mix in a little rye to avoid wash out if you let them in your pasture when you shouldn't have. It will bounce back quickly. I don't think this dude is saying to plant the whole damn field in rye.
What other names does this plant have? I grew it a few years ago, and it's absolutely beautiful. I remember it being called a type of Clover, but I can't remember. I think I need new seeds, as the ones I have don't seem to sprout anymore. I do remember that bees loved it.
Key sentence. I'm into argomony. And why not. It's such an interesting subject and so vital, especially in today's climactic chaos. I also suffer from the same affliction and simply can't get enough of it. If I had lots of money and time I would spend the rest of my life visiting like minded people and their farms. Well done to you and my only advice to you is perhaps a more mixed cover with winter hardy legumes would be more beneficial to your soil and the sheep would be happier for it.

Cultivation or mow it in late flowering for silage. From the video this particular crop will be combined so will die naturally as it’s an annual and the volunteers could then be controlled though silage making or cultivation
Same challenges: species/cultivar selection and mix for your soil and climate, timing into rotations, establishment, incorporation/ knocking back, sowing 'cash' crop through residue in time, getting the cash crop out and a winter green manure established in time. Difference is scale. I've no machinery for my garden sop I only sow what I can slice down with hand shears then incorporate by lightly slicing into the soil with a spade. Rye was the hardest to incorporate with spade, particularly with a heavy silt soil that compacts so I won't be using that again. Clovers (fixer), field beans v. faba (fixer), sunflower (lifter), chicory (lifter) were easier. Daikon radish (white icicle) I tried as a 'cash' crop because but it didn't go deep However the inputs to one's normal rotation for a gardener / allotmenteer isn't costing tens of thousands of £/$, machinery / fuel isn't costing hundreds of thousands and one's livelihood doesn't depend on results.
Im glad i watched this. It will fit in perfectly with my permaculture garden. I have been buying green manures but i have not heard it explained so well. Mountain permaculture 88 on FB.
