Young farmers crushing it in the High Desert | Regenerative Agriculture | Grassfed Beef 

its funny. because hes a rich kid raising some of the most expensive food per acre you can imagine. the only people that can buy his food are the wealthy you seem to despise. Those commercial farms you hate so much, are the only reason you can afford to exist. Good Luck with your utopia.

Good luck with climate change...

Very true. Using a disproportionate number of high priced toys courtesy of advertising, but not what a business that runs 6 to 10 cows would find anywhere feasible.

@Nikolya Kalmar In the 60s, the KGB did some fascinating psychological experiments. They learned that if you bombard the human subjects with fear messages nonstop, in two months or less most of the subjects are completely brainwashed to believe a false message(i.e. a lie). To the point that no amount of clear, correct, accurate information (i.e. the truth) they are shown, to the contrary, can change their mind.

@@incorectulpolitic Too true, can no-one see how they are being manipulated? Does nobody think for themselves any more? Willing Puppets played by the Master Puppeteer.

@@incorectulpolitic spot on

@@incorectulpolitic maybe an idiot like yourself should pick up a microscope and go see what you find if you don't believe the narrative. You blabbering is no different then the blabbering you accuse people of. You are good at it - good at spreading misinformation - and accuse others of spreading misinformation - myself included. The only difference is - you can actually check that this scientists are saying by yourself with the microscope. That simple. The big plan is no plan. Is just stupidity. I say, nobody is in control as you claim. There is no "hidden agenda". Is much worse than that. Is real! We suck at absorbing facts, and we suck at crisis management. But i guess the simplest explanation is the hardest to believe since is actually so simple and the implications are so immense. Once such implication is that we don't have the control we want, the world is not the stable system we might have thought of, our truths are not true at all, everything we know is a lie, and so on. The thing the brain is designed to do, is build narratives which fit the data it has stored in itself / experience and keep itself in congruence with it's previous state - in one word, protect itself / do what appears from it's perspective, more likely to protect itself. And the difference in opinion you see is just the brain of millions doing that. But that's a far cry from truth / the objective way things actually are in. But regardless of our individual capabilities to discern what's true, there are methods for clearly approaching it. That's why rely on fact checking - aka microscope - fact checking is not "let me search for info on some channel i know has the best theories", let me google it, - no - it means you, yourself pick the microscope and look it up. You do the work. And when you don't know - you teach yourself. And if that takes months, no problem. And when thousands and thousands of scientists individually did that and come with the same conclusion - it either means are all lying, all colluding, or you are an idiot. Maybe you should go consult with a flat earther - because they can clearly illuminate you on which is which.

It's tough to tell the good old apple trees from wildlings since old orchard trees often dont make any fruit, but have had lots of daughters since the orchard was abandoned.

@@swamp-yankee Maybe, but, you can look for symmetry, of trees, or stumps, and what harm to take a graft. Positive thoughts. I would imagine that most will be cooking apples/fruits. such as Crab apples etc.

I have an orchard from early 1800s right up the road. I can't wait until my (young) trees are larger so I can swap in some heirloom grafts.

@@OakKnobFarm Cool for you and good luck!

@@OakKnobFarm very nice. I recently found a grafted apple by an old well site in one of my rented pastures that is probaby about that old. Two feet wide and very gnarled and uniquely beautiful. The root stock grew a leader that shades the graft, but I picked one big crisp light red apple this year. I will be attempting to restore it to production.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I will keep making more videos.

@@StefanoCreatini thanks for the reply. Keep up the great work

I encourage you to share this info with the land managers and owners to start planting the seed of new visions and ideas and change

We are now all dumber for reading your comment. You have no idea what you are talking about. If you are a farmer and not obsessed with your land quality than guess what your not a farmer. By the way America has a policy of cheap food. Our government does whatever it can to keep prices depressed.

@@Random-pz7po by name, random by nature. Seriously dude, 'random' is not an elevated level. It's what we should grow out of right after the nappies become redundant. Keep trying though. Substance is worth it.

@@peterclark6290 lmao. You have no idea what your talking about and you have proved it. “It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”. You are not worth my time and your ignorance precedes you wherever you go. By the way. I started a farm on 4 acres. My dad had crapped away the 5 generations of farming before him. I started with 30 acres (all leased) in 2015. In 2021 I will be near 2;000. I am on state/regional boards and I also am the farm advisor for a major land grant university. I come on here to learn and try to educate people on understanding practices (difference between knowing and Understanding) and dispelling fallacies. I lament because, it is impossible, fore the more people think they are right the less they are willing to hearing different ideas.

@@Random-pz7po I believe every word you said. Really I do. The vision of some troll in a basement never entered my mind. Truly. Such a background and accumulation of experiences would definitely produce someone who couldn't comprehend one word of the opening comment. It happens all the time. Deslyxia lures KO?

Ugh yes, it boggles my mind how people with so much land can know nothing about soil biology

So glad to hear! Jake's farm is truly an example for all of us on living with nature, understanding her cycles to provide abundance. This is the way of the future. Thanks for watching

but the powers that be want FASTER returns for profit...they don't want sustainable anything

Reach out to his instagram, @cedarspringsfarm

@@StefanoCreatini will do! Thank you

Yeah, he and his family are really something else. I just released a couple awesome videos on some amazing farmers too.

Please elaborate?

Have you seen the newest video?

@@StefanoCreatini yes! That’s how I found you and Jake! Loved it and went n watched the first one…fantastic content, looking forward to more of your videos!💫

Thanks! Jake is doing a great job.

Its pretty amazing, We are going to do some awesome collabs this spring. Jakes farm has grown a lot. Its crazy to think he started with nothing.

Such as Kit Pharo's, Diamon D, Indreland, Jauer, Octoraro, Ohio Land n Cattle, Spring Valley...

@@downbntout somebody knows their herds!

@@swamp-yankee just read names out of the Stockman-GrassFarmer mag, bigger herds

What’s a lowline?

They're shorter. Also heard them called aburdeen angus. My old man had them before my time. They are built for performance on grass.

That's probably every state.

I saw a chicken in one of the shots

Where is he farming?

Thanks! I got some new tours on my other videos with some neat farms. Let me know what kind of content you enjoy and get value from.

Yes, I agree. This is nature's blueprint.

Anytime! Jake got a great deal because it was sold as dry land. The springs didn't produce as much water, certainly not enough to irrigate 40 acres. Its been great to see the vast difference in his field. I wish I had more time to get drone footage of the neighbors fields. The difference is remarkable. Hotchkiss is averages 9 to 11 inches of annual rain.

@@StefanoCreatini Thanks! That is excellent information. So with proper farming methods one could turn dry land farmland into more profitable farmland. Nice!

@@StefanoCreatini it is like the couple that bought a mud mess in CA, and brought in a mt of woodchips and built an oasis, while the guy next to them gets piddly amounts of chemically laden produce. While they have this forest of production w/o the amount of work using no pesticides.

I didn't think Moringa was high altitude adaptable...more a Southern climate tree. This is high 6400 ft high desert probably zone 4 or 5

Greg Judy advises against swales if grazing cattle, but he has a far bigger herd, too. Looks like Keyline has been used to spread water across the terrain and slow it to soak down into it. Far more info possible to teach from Jake’s planning and work, especially comparing his neighbors and their lack of water retention. Very critical to apply this in all arid climates and topographies.

@@christinebottaro9017 Greg Judy did not even apply the 101 of permaculture (observe the land and formulate your needs and conditions, and then DESIGN). They had: leased land where an intern or relative or helper was enthusiastic about swales (so with luck 10 years to get a return on the investment, and it takes a while until well working swales improve performance and are well established with plants. The trees they planted did not grow, which is weird because there were trees on the property) and it was flat land, also I think with no special draught or erosion problems. which is the classic situation where you must do womething (slope, not enough water, and erosion). And in that case swales _could_ be a tool. One of the first design questions is desired ACCESS. The swales make it harder to just drive over them and if you have a fairly flat property, the user (the owner in that case) was used to being able to access it with a vehicle. On a hill access for machines or vehicles is not missed because it was always restricted anyway. Greg was not wiling to build "bridges" considering the swales did notperform well in his setup. But I strongly suggest no one had specific ideas WHAT the swales were supposed to do for _them_ on this property and with their intended use. A swale must not be walked or grazed right away, but the cows did not respect the electric fence. It is possible that many missapply swales and treat them as a "fad" - they are one of many tools in a design.

@@christinebottaro9017 This farmer got the land in CO for a very good price because the water situation was dire, it was sold as dryland (so incompetent handling got him a bargain, the land and water situation is not bad, it was just badly managed) - in such cases Keyline is not enough, and it also reuqires a terrain where he _can_ plough. The trenches can hold MORE water in a downpour (he excavates them - which btw also increases the surface for growth) and the water infiltration is / was not good (compacted clay) so Keyline likely would not have been enough even IF he could have used the plough (there are special attachments to get over obstacles if he has rocks etc on the terrain but they are expensive. All in all - it worked well for him, he is in his fourth season and sold out on beef. Swales are the more costly (money, time) investment but also the longterm solution. And unlike Keyline ploughing he does not have to repeat a process. Swales are also tree growing systems - his land needs protection from wind (probably also colder in winter, that is not good for the trees, and the wind break also helps in spring, and cooler during the nights). Trees provide shade in summer, fodder, maybe honey, firewood, and timber. As his property needs trees (more than other cattle ranches) swales are a tool to be seriously considered. They also create somewhat unequal zones (with more or less soakage). That is also a desired effect because more micro zones means more borders where the zones overlapp and meet and there the magic happens: Zones that are a little drier, a little wetter, concentrating the scarce water in some areas so he jumpstarts the trees WHILE the water situation still improves. that speeds up getting harvests from the trees (grass might just grow a little slowlier, but it is important that the trees grow well right from the beginning, then they can have the first fruits after a few years. More micro zones means more borders and border zones show high productivity. He got his permaculture training in Haiwai. Volcanic soil that is good but does not hold water that well, slope and likely torrential and inequal rainfall. Which is _another_ scenario where swales shine. So he likely had experience in the subtropical climate, and was well able to translate that to a much drier property. He seems to have his act together, so we can assume he also _planned_ the swales for his property. Did the math, and knew what he was doing.

@@xyzsame4081 Lots to process in your replies, and all much appreciated. I am just at beginning stages of learning and applying techniques such as planning successions of annuals and perennials, choosing which trees to group in an area, to spacing swales. In Hawaii, rainfall amounts vary from arid desert to rain forest tropical, and on the older islands soil can actually be very rich and definitely isn’t just volcanic rock. The farmer who spent years in agriculture there could have had well-drained rich soil, but the microclimates of the island he was on had to be taken into consideration for sure. Again, thanks for your reply. Permaculture, swales, keyline, etc. all seem to present a lot of choices and challenges.

Thanks for the sub!

Thanks, I have some awesome farm tours lined up for 2021. His farm is in Hotchkiss, Colorado.

Jake bought a used bobcat and a six-way dozer blade to cut these swales. They are slopes at 2 degrees, away from the stream. He floods them, alternately from the running water source.
