this one isn't even complete, but that's because you don't know that the Rhizosphere is far more important than anything happening above it. Herds of large herbivores are absolutely required to rebuild the global Rhizosphere. But in order to do so they must constantly migrate over 10's of millions of acres, or they begin to undermine sustainability efforts and poison the Rhizosphere. Just as Industrial Agriculture has done over billions of acres of land already. A healthy active Rhizosphere is the digestive gut that contains 65% of all terrestrial biomass and forms the foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems. You should start there, and then build toward developing an understanding of farming models that compliment and sustain the Rhizosphere rather than diminish and ultimately destroy sustainability efforts. We can't keep pushing the buck to the next generation. And we can't keep pretending we've got solutions when the data is missing billions of acres of diminished and destroyed Rhizosphere. We need MORE livestock. Not less. And understanding why is at the very core of the carbon crisis. Do a real documentary on the Rhizosphere. The trillions upon trillions of organisms dug up and gassed off into the atmosphere, that we know were made of carbon, and are now part of the atmosphere. Until that data is part of every carbon model, and understood thoroughly, there is no "solution" to any of our sustainability problems. You can't tell me how many crates of apples there are if you only count the horses pulling the cart.

Will Harris is an amazing farmer and human being. This video shows that but at the same time leaves so much about the man, his farm, his legacy, his town, and his employees out. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful for this beautiful work and highlighting the incredible man; you have done him service. I only mention it to possibly invite others to look for more opportunities to learn about him and the many facets of his operation. I truly appreciate you allowing him to speak fully. I find, due to his slow drawl of a bygone era, many who interview him, in the current culture of short attention spans, fast thinking, and unfortunately faster speaking, tend to become anxious with his thoughtful speech and talk over him with assumptions about his conclusions trying to hasten the conversation. More often than not, that leads to digressions presented by the interviewer that ultimately result in the original question not being answered fully by him and the point of the discussion never being reached. Here, you have allowed him to put his words together in their entirety and in doing so gave them so much more power and depth. He is a man who should be heard slowly and thoughtfully; not rushed to finish a checklist of topics.

People's ignorance of actual farming practices is what keeps the industrial farming conglomerates in business. I could barely watch this doc on how Will Harris used to do business and how industrial farming treats animals. These are animals depleted of nutrition, full of antibiotics, cancers, tumours who are suffering right up until they are slaughtered. It's devastating to see and reinforced my conversion to becoming more of a vegetarian and only eating meat, eggs and milk products from reputable, ethical farmers. If people saw how badly animals and the land are treated they would probably choose better. But again, those products have to be available in grocery chains but they're not. There are only "green-washed" products available pretending to be better such as the woman at the (24:12) mark was saying about eggs from "free range" hens: "they only have to be out for 30 minutes and it's considered "free range".

Hello Harris I have been trying to get this into Swedish farming. My experience is that my Government actively work aginst this. At one time, I had been pushing, a film was produced by the government "Sista Skörden", The last crop. In that film it was admitted that 50% of minerals were gone from crops. And under such circumstance any disease could develop. What you are doing reminds me of Jill Clapperton. The Ph.D I chose to follow became Elaine Ingham. Composting for critters to populate soil with. The tool to know what is braught to soil is a microscope. She have quite a few videos on KZbin. Me I could never get a business going. You see I found these faming methods in the late eighties. My realisation was that the only thing big enough to be able to change farming methods world wide was to combine farming with energy production. Firstly for the farm itself. I do not want farms food production to be dependent on energy from untrustworthy partners. Are you running your machines on ethanol? The biggest problem is what can be done is to good to be true. Just think of health benefits! How are your cattle doing health wise? Good food givs the same benefits to people. Powers that be is our obstacle. Thank you for what you are doing. Thank you for this film. I am in Sweden by the way. Here our Government is working against this kind of development.

In Australia, many activists think that all farms are effectively feedlots, which is strange given practices that have been legally required for decades. The vast majority of farmers actively petition against feedlots being allowed into their regions because of the reduced quality of life for animals. This shows a total lack of awareness or wilful ignorance on the part of activists. It should also be noted that daily paddock rotation breaks parasite life cycles, reducing disease in animals.

Really interesting video. I grew up on a farm in Australia, and when I watch these videos on regenerative farming my initial reaction is to find them weird because growing up all of this was just smart farming. Having been in the food industry for my career I've realised that 95% of farmers want to farm this way. Corporations are what drive the bad animal farming practices we have globally. Because they aren't interested in environment welfare, animal welfare or farming welfare. They are interested in the growth rate of the next qtr. While we have governments who priortize food supply based on monetary growth rather than sustainability we'll unfortunately not have the right number of farmers who farm the land, rather than farm for growth.

So true, our system perpetuates because all of our food has been turned into tradable commodities rather than the individual farmer's product.

Mr. Harris, thank you for what you do. If more consumers used their local producers like yourself and if the FDA would get out of the way then we would all be better off. The politicians that have accepted the money and allowed the big companies to control the marketplace should all be kicked out of parliaments all over the world. Let a local area meat packer set up and work with the farmers. We have gone back to the old ways ourselves and only raise beef for family and close friends as we got older. We cut our cow herd down from 350 cows to 25 and utilize a local butcher and everyone is much healthier and happier, I just wish people would back to working with the local farmers and didn't fall for the marketing from the big chains.

There 10000% needs to be an ongoing series on Netflix aboit this farm. The only way things change is through constant exposure. Make it happen...
@DavidBlodgett8 ай бұрын
So true. Exactly how F1 became a popular sport in the US because of the drive to survive series. It would be cool to make a series about lots of different farmers on a similar path as Will.

@DavidBlodgett absolutely and I would bet that Netflix would offer a great contract for a farming series. 💯

I don’t believe there is climate change. I’m glad to see a healthier way of cattle ranching. Go carnivore!
@DavidBlodgett9 ай бұрын
I get that, but CAFO style farming is really bad for the environment, regardless if it has to do with climate change. I actually want to try the carnivore diet soon!

Good work David, because you’re reaching people outside the normal Regen Ag circle. That’s why you’re getting so much pushback. Thank you.
