Here is a conversation I have been looking forward to for a long time.

I really appreciate your third law, the law of disruption. It immediately resonated with me and how its absence, even under ideal cultural practices, limits growth.

Thank you for a great conversation. The information on mycorrhizal fungi networks is absolutely fascinating. I had to look back at some of my field pictures I took where you can actually plainly see what I believe is a mycorrhizal hyphae network or intricate labyrinth of interconnected routes across the field. I can only visibly witness this in particularly dry years when second or third cutting alfalfa and grasses are drought stressed. There are very defined what appear to be priority communication or nutrient routes across the field evidenced by dramatic six to twelve inch wide paths of notably taller and healthier looking plants. They in no way appear fertility or hydrologically influenced or related. It is an amazing thing to stand in the middle of a hilly field and witness such an intelligent and purposeful design. Your comment about keen observation reminds me of the sayin that "the most important thing that one can observe in a field is their shadow". I would be interested in what your thoughts are on this. Thanks again to you both for all of your great work. Dave

I love the reference to lamb's quarter. My garden site was chosen for drainage assuming low wet ground would be a worse choice. The year I broke ground the lambs quarter grew to 2 ft spindles then died mid July. Rocks were my best crop that year. The lambs quarter in the corn last season was 5ft and rather conical in habit. ...I tried fall sowing winter squash in a test plot last fall. We will see

Mushroom farmer/rancher in newfoundland canada some Mushrooms that are edible like the king bolite can hyper accumulate heavy metals like cesium that was spread here at one time in contaminated lime but the Mushroom makes it unavailable to the plants growing around it. It is amazing what i have learned from you jhon kempff. You may not give us the recipe but you do give us the ingredients to use one day soon i hope to pay it forward dew to you

An inspiring conversation. Next time Dr Allen Williams comes I would like him to comment about the slight differences on his approach to Allan Savory Holistic Management approach. I am guessing that William's approach is being slightly more flexible with changing the overall planning on a day to day process...a more active challenging of assumptions and general principles to see if it makes a difference.

Sounds like you might want to read Savory's book! The only set protocol he prescribes, is the step of forming holistic goals, with groups that have come together and identified their shared common values. Holistic management is fully adaptive.

Oh, clearly someone doesn't know that Understanding Ag has included the Savory Institute knowledge, but have adapted it to farming in the cropping sense, but with the full support of Allan Savory and his organization. They are collaborating.

@@leelindsay5618 I would tell Savory to go and read his own book if he said otherwise!🤣 It's all about stewardship at the end of the day my friend, so let's all do the best we can!

Absolutely LOVED this interview!! I am a small scale goat farmer in east Kentucky (lots of hills!). My diversity consists of 1 horse and a bunch of chickens in addition to my goat herd. Would love to add more diversity, just not sure what. There will be 2 more horses coming to my property this spring, and am thinking about getting another bottle calf to raise for beef. But will that give me enough diversity? I will admit to being fearful of pigs, but am thinking about adding sheep.

18:45 May we be like Isaac ⤵️ Gen 26:12-14 KJV [12] Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. [13] And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: [14] For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

Its easy to say but...downsizing to a manageable and do able progect that you can sustain in the right way with natural inputs and,create a new market seperate from the large scale mañagement and as the manageable project develops gradually incorporate bit by bit the process that works and not only works but is right for tge crop or right for the animal. Now that makes sence to me. At least use part of your land to try a diferent aproach at least and let the land teach you again. Easy to say but the alotment homestead plot came before mass agricukture . aswel as trying tge new aproach and more soil and plant friendly inputs .not all synthestics are bad .some of the newer ppactices really work using a combined aproach and thsts what is needed .bothends of the aproach being cultivated.
