I don't understand why most farmers don't look at these trends and adapt to them, instead of trying to make conventional farming methods and markets work.

One way I've seen this play out in our cows, is in drought. We don't have a good way to measure their feed intake. But you can see the difference. I keep selecting heifers and bulls from our cows that are fat all the time, no matter what conditions they are in. The problem is buying new bulls that are the same, to keep from inbreeding.

I am reminded that the reason wheat is fortified and bleached is it looses it's nutrient value shortly after its ground. Bleaching it is a preservative. Direct marketing ungrounded wheat at a fair price should be a growing market. Soil is the stomach for a plant.

Americans will also have to come to grips with the idea that food will cost more. We are currently offloading costs onto the environment with nitrogen fertilizer runoff, ocean dead zones, etc so when you purchase a product at the grocery store you're never seeing the true cost. With operations like Gabe describes the vast majority of the cost is kept entirely within the farm, and when you purchase a product from a farm like that you can be confident that we're not exporting most costs onto the environment. It will cost more though as you're seeing the "holistic" price
@orroz13 жыл бұрын
Maybe increased prices will also lead to less food waste and increased nutritional value of the food we eat. With all the other benefits of more healthy and environmentally sound food production I believe that even though the food price will increase, that cost is offset by savings elsewhere such as in health care.

Why would food cost more when with regenerative agriculture you have to buy NOTHING. No tilling, no poisons like pesticides all the 'cides', no fertilisers, no feed for animals etc.etc. You just work with nature.
@the327122 жыл бұрын
@@incorectulpolitic Because you don't buy "nothing". You still pay upkeep on tractors, you still pay for animal feed and that animal feed is higher quality so you pay more, you don't use pesticides and instead you need large amounts of wood chips or tarps, you don't get government subsidies to offset all these costs and your costs are spread over less "units of production" meaning a higher cost per unit. Your farm isn't vertically integrated and neither are the local butcher shops you use. Government regulations hamper small farms far more than larger farms. Roll that all up and you get more expensive local food.

Great presentation! I have been in the oil field for 13 years and know the struggles and the difference that Jed describes. I live in Williston ND with my wife and 2 daughters. I made goals when i came to the patch and one of them was how long i would do this kind of work before i go ranching. That goal i have failed. I am still working for the man and now my daughters are close to graduating high school and will never experience growing up on the land and cattle ranching. I have been a helper my hole life. Working someone else's cattle and land was a vacation to me and still is. I now am making my first steps toward land and cattle management and am thankful for having the chance to learn from the Riders and many more now that i know of the grazing coalition channel you guys provide. So much to learn from very knowledgeable families. A recently added goal is to now speak at a conference and share my story some day soon. Thank you for posting these videos! Have a great day!

I am an aspiring rancher. Just bought land hoping to raise cattle with a specific management goal to rehabilitate native prairie while making a profit. I readily agree with this speakers main idea, that cattle can be used to enhance biodiversity and ecological function. However, the bulk of his presentation is flawed and so riddled with logical errors that we must basically ignore him while he learns basic reasoning and rhetoric skills. While starting a talk off showing the case examples of western landscapes management under prolonged rest vs. traditional cattle management, he quickly degrades into a tirade against environmentalism generally and climate change particularly. Not only do these not logically lead from one to the other, he fails to even try to provide further evidence for the claims he makes about environmentalist or climate change. Instead resting on the good will of an audience he believes already takes it for granted that enviros ruin everything. We can start our critique limiting ourselves to the information he gave us, as his own conclusions are not derived from his set facts. He says that in response to declining ecosystems function cattle were removed from the land and the land was rested. That during this rest the land declined at an even more rapid pace. That compared to land with cattle on it ecosystems function has declined. His conclusions are that cattle should be brought back, never once mentioning how those cattle should be managed. Given that the declineling ecosystem function started under rancher/cattle management merely returning to this state of affairs is not what is needed to restore ecosystem function. He shows us images of the western United States and area naturally dry with very seasonal humidity. He does not show us the effects of rest from cattle on humid areas or areas with very even rainfall. What has the effect of removing cattle been in tropical rainforests? What is the effect of rest in upstate New York? These very selective pictures and his lack of noting the key differences between humid and arid environments is a major blunder in his talk. His wholesale dismissal of environmentalism due to historical errors by environmentalists. Rather than suggesting they learn and update their methods for assessing ecosystems function and policy proposals he suggests they are nearly always wrong and are merely power hungry. Rather than point out government officials are almost never are held to account for failed policies and lobbying groups of any kind are not held to account he singularly points out environmental groups. What a sham. If you are looking for very good critiques of environmentalism and cattle products as is most often practiced I suggest Allan Savory over this illogical bloke. Cattle can be a tool specifically in dry environments to restore ecosystem function, but the key is how they are managed.

Thank you so much for sharing your Philosophy of Cattle and Veld management. common sense is not very common and nature's way has been skewed towards our human whims even though we don't often know what's good for us. In the African context I can firmly attest to our cattle being parasite resistant; "unimproved" though they may be deemed to be it looks like they have a big role to play in "improving" so called scientifically improved breeds. now it the time to return to the era of the (Yellow) fat in cattle of your father's and my grandfather's days; time to redefine our breeding and management goals!

You are lucky to still have those unimproved breed in Africa, I think India too have a lot. Here in North America, all the breeds that came here, were already selected in Europe and they've been even more selected once here. We still can breed for all the traits Johann Zietsman is talking about, but you guys start with an unfair advantage. You don't have to undo centuries of bad selection practices.

Daggertt has a point: With widespread misunderstanding about the role of grazing and browsing animals, especially livestock, the wrong things would be taxed. Especially since the powerful corporations (illegally large and powerful) would find ways to avoid paying, and pass the burden along to others.
