Best thunderstorms view ever. Ride into the storm with me in my tractor planting seed corn.

A question came up on LinkedIn about the numbers and your site was mentioned. I guess the general question was, does anyone have any numbers or is it all hype? What does the profit and loss statements, cash flow statements look like between conventional chemical ag vs regenerative ag? Are there input savings? What are they. How much of each? Is there any differences in the production? More, less or about the same as conventional? Thanks, Doug

Is it more healthy to drink 12 beers and smoke 2 packs a day or is it more healthy to drink a few beers a week and maybe a few cigarettes here and there? Seems a pretty simple answer. How can Regenerative farming be bad for the soil or yeilds. Well it can if badly managed and all of us make mistakes the first year or 2 or 3 of starting to regenerate your farmland those learning experiences are priceless. More organic matter= higher yields, no soil erosion= more Long term higher yields. Better root rhizosphere for yoir cash crop to grow in= higjer yield. More soil biological activity as a few examples. Your linked in question reminds me of an accountants brain asking an artist how he draws paintings. They do not compute! Lol. I've got alot of side by side videos, farming is alot like life, there is no "right way" to do it. There are just the decisions you make and the consequences (both good and bad) that you have to manage afterwards. Regen farming has Much less inputs, higher/ same yields for less investment sounds good to me. Regenerative farming will lower the expense side of the P & L. If you want to use accountant brain to compute Regenerative farming. Good question and long answer. Thanks Edit: Refer to @DanW6013 comment also

there is no need to convice them. Once they retire their childrens will inherint barren land with no top-soil. If you want to stay on the long run, keep your soil alive, there is not much to discuss here. Otherwise feel free to sell your plot to Bill Gates, he is buying quite a number of acres nowadays.

Sometimes money can fall from the sky. We however trying to get a window for making hay. Quality is dropping fast. My best market is horse hay in small square bales. The system is rigged for sure. The only thing market commercially is lambs. Regeneratetive farming has the potential to make farmer a lot of money though growing cover crop seed, and saving labor herbicide and fertilizer use. The ruling class doesn't like this because they own those companies that make those inputs. Ever noticed how all the input prices go up right along with commodity prices. Eventually we will be priced off the land and out of business so the Bill Gates's of the world can own us.

This is at least half the answer from the question from comment asking for ballance sheets and P & L's to somehow prove Regenerative farming is more profitable. Great comment

@@growthefarmup2606 there's no way to get a real number because of the weather variables and how soon or late we can get things done. Farming is a guess and a gamble. The figures can't be put on paper until the crop is in the bin and priced.
