Such a great interview! I'm a small town girl of 53 and my 74 year old husband had his first 10 years on a farm. We just put in an offer on 3 acres to build a small homestead. We already have 5 chickens and a medium sized garden in our city, but we want to expand and have a small orchard and food forest, too. God bless all the hard working farmers, ranchers, and homesteaders out there! ...and all those saving and working towards becoming one.❤
Thanks for another great interview. I've always thought of Joel as a national treasure. Now I feel that he could very well be a global treasure. You're both such an inspiration to all of us.
This was a fun interview, and serious. I was glad to hear the topic of the future of food. Will food of the future be grown in a lab, or traditionally? What if it would be possible to grow a healthier steak in a lab than natural? I highly doubt this is possible but who knows. I’d like to hear more about exactly where the science is on lab grown food, inputs, scalability, overall stability, etc.
65 yrs old for average farmer age... WOW... i was off by 5 yrs with my dated info... 60 yrs. I wonder if its even older 1 yr later. I cant listen to these podcasts enough!!!
Because both beef and mainstream grain growing practices both require so much water, would aquifer replenishment be possible in the midwest of the united states with this change?
Have you heard Joel speak on water on his farm? He captures rain water in ponds on high ground and gravity feeds it down to his pastures. The animals being rotated builds soil which also captures water and reduces runoff. And he never pulls from the aquifer.
@@diannamc367 Since writing this comment I've now read through Salatin's book and am now dipping my toes into regenerative agriculture on a very small scale, with some luck I'd like to have a full fledged farm within a few years
Most Podcasts are audio and not video besides it’s just John and Joe talking what do you want to see? There is no slides or PP, nothing to see...John also does Zoom webinars go to AEA and sign up for one and then you can see John live
Here is my dream, that someone could be so nimble in their chicken production that they could relocate to site of a grasshopper infestation and produce the best chicken ever.
Those that bastardize true existence are the enemy of themselves and of others. Wether they do it knowingly or not is where the difference lies .Those that harm knowingly need to be held acountable and their illusion of power to be taken away from them so they can no longer do harm.
