THE REBEL COWBOY | Directed by David Blodgett
Will Harris has become a famed farmer with two appearances on the Joe Rogan experience and countless other podcasts and news outlets. I learned of Will from his first appearance on the JRE and immediately knew I wanted to tell his story in a cinematic documentary.
The documentary covers the history of White Oak Pastures and how it evolved with the modern US agricultural system into a concentrated animal feeding operation and then rebelled against traditional commodity farming to create a sustainable, regenerative, polyculture farm. Studies have shown the regenerative farm's model to be a carbon negative operation due to the sustainable farm's goal of rebuilding deep, nutrient dense, top soil that has been degraded and eroded (due to modern farming practices), into a carbon sequestration machine, pulling carbon out of the atmosphere and into the ground thereby creating healthier land and therefore healthier and sustainable meat.

What topic should I cover in my next documentary?

[@ZennExile]

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.

This is my farmer! I order from him two to three times a year. I met him last year and his farm is absolutely a joy to explore and experience. The beef is the best I’ve ever tasted. There’s no place like White Oak Pastures

[@DavidBlodgett]

I was blown away when I tried the beef for the first time on the restaurant

​@@DavidBlodgett we should compare it with wagyu beef

[@timotejskrt5574]

I agree with everything but there is one problem here and thatsthat there is so much people on the worldright nowand im just curious if this tipe of farming would produce enough food for the whole planet. Please dont get me wrong, I am also farming like this and i know that my cows arent getting on weight as much and as quick as the cows on the extensive farms. But I also know that there is a lot of food trown away every year, im just a bit confuzed 😅. Ps. Sorry for my english because it maybe isnt everything be corect but Im from europe so i may have some mistekes in my coment.

I can't afford your products but I grab them up when they go on sale at the store. I bought a chuck steak at Walmart the other day. It was so tasteless I had to keep adding salt. After we were done I watched a farm video that said some meat was from Argentina but if it was packaged here it could say USDA BEEF. And I thought pink slime was outlawed years ago. Nope, Walmart and Costco and several others have PINK SLIME IN THEIR Meats! I can't afford not to buy farm fresh meat.

[@jaclynrosenberg4262]

I recently launched a farmers' market here in NJ, driven by our love for them. The past six months have been a journey of learning, particularly about meat cultivation and quality. Much of what we've learned needs to be shared with our communities! Thank you for continuing to educate us. It's been both interesting and important

[@DavidBlodgett]

Thats Great! Hope your farmers market does well

[@sherbuc123]

Well done David. I’ve been supporting White Oak Pastures since 2010 when I returned home to Georgia. I just finished “Mr. Will’s” book “A Bold Return To Giving A Damn”. This documentary paints a very good picture for those who can’t pick up the book. I have never witnessed such transparency in any business.. especially what we put into our bodies and call “ food “.. Big Food .. mystery meat. You never know what you are eating or how the animals were raised. Greenwashing is real. It’s “ the new black “. Make the trip to Bluffton, Ga. If you are able. Vote with your dollars. Share the views!

[@DavidBlodgett]

Thats exactly the reasoning that drew me to make this piece! Thanks for watching! tried to make it as concise and entertaining as possible for those who would've never thought about agriculture like myself just a few months ago.

[@MikeyKurz]

Amazing work. The amount of benefits of regenerative pasture farming is too many to count. The amount of nutrition per dollar you get beats factory farming every day of the week. Not to mention it reduces emissions, restores soil health and literally saves the planet. Proud to support and buy my meats from regenerative pasture raised farms. Thanks for educating 🙏

[@nancyfahey7518]

Yes, I'm starting to think industrial farming is the cause of global warming. I can't believe I didn't see the connection.

[@taylorrobinson3159]

I’ve been eating a plant based/vegan diet for 10 years. And I believe the way this farmer and many others are approaching raising animals is 100% the right way to go. Just seeing how happy the animals are and hearing this man speak brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart. Blessings to all these farmers that chose to give the animals a life they deserve ❤ and may many more follow in their footsteps 🙏

[@aelfricoxhey1191]

I first came across Will Harris as one of Peter Byke's "Carbon Cowboys" and have been a fan of his ever since. As a suburban dweller, with a field opposite me, Will is one of the influencers for me to find the landowner of this now unused land and make a go of regen farming. This short documentary is an excellent short explainer to get people interested; I have a shelf full of books now on the topic, including "A bold return to giving a damn", this video encompasses all the information I want to pass on to get others interested in combating the current ideology of removing animals from the land.

**Hypocrisy** The individuals advocating for reduced meat consumption often travel by private jet, which generates a high level of pollution! Additionally, upon reaching their destination, they use a convoy of 10 cars or more for their security, further contributing to pollution. Are they truly concerned about the environment? These same individuals vehemently criticize cattle farming, meat consumption, and the agricultural industry. Why aren't they confronting the major fashion labels and clothing brands that produce thousands of items every day, fueling a relentless consumer system? Why aren't documentaries being made to criticize the high consumption of trivial products manufactured in China and sold online? Remember: clothes and trinkets can last for many years, while food is needed daily. Are they not targeting the wrong business?

[@scottmcnaughton539]

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.

[@ericanderson6655]

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

There is another huge benefit to soil building in the arid west. The huge landscapes will act as a sponge and provide more water to lakes and rivers. Those endangered salmon you hear about can benefit from quality grazing practices that reduce winter floods and improve summer water flows. Yes, this helps the beaver help the land in addition. It takes a whole watershed to heal land and water, not just a beaver pond. The video does need to do a better job to teach that the manure of the cattle breaks down the forage to create the topsoil along with the help of the soil biota.

[@AlexRetsam]

Great docco. It raises the elephant in the room. Saving our soil, our health, our earth, is more expensive than the alternative where in matters. On the shelf in front of the person buying it This problem is as crucial as any part of regenerative ag. I believe to get 100% of food production regenerative, we have to also bring the cost of food down. We have to get regenerative to be not only the cheapest option now but to continue to drive the price down further and make food over all cheaper.

[@LawrenceDodd-hu5tn]

If we keep loosing land like we do to subdivisions and industry we ain’t gonna have no land to farm

[@brendanploeger1202]

This is definitely the best and only way we should be farming beef but this is not the best or only answer. First off this is not a sustainable way to feed our population because of how much land it takes. Regenerative agriculture can be more effective with plants. That garden that they have is the perfect example. They are capturing more carbon in that garden per area of land than the field of cows that has a monocrop of grass on it. Permaculture with a variety of different plants is a much more effective form of regenerative agriculture. The only way i believe they are offsetting the green house gases of that farm is maybe because of the gardens they have but theres no way that a beef farm is capturing more carbon than they are emitting with just the animals. In the end we still need to be consuming far less beef. This video is greenwashing. Im glad there are farms out there practicing regen ag but its not a solution for the planet by any means. Its the minimum we should be doing when farming animals.

[@Ricatonniisasavage8854]

No we don’t need to be consuming less beef. The more beef we consume, the more we can rotational graze and the more we can sequester carbon. So the answer and solution: Eat MORE Beef, as it is the Most Healthiest Protein on Planet Earth, the most Nutrient Dense Protein with every single Bio Available Nutrient and Vitamin that our Body needs to thrive. Don’t believe me? Do the research.

[@th5579]

Unfortunately, in many places, if you get the label of organic, you must vaccinate your cattle. Kind of an oxymoron.

HIs pastures look horrible compared to Joel Salatins and Greg Judy's pastures. Joel Salatin has been doing it for FAR longer han this rancher has and knows more than most anybody on the subject of regenrative grazing

[@DavidBlodgett]

What do the pastures on your regenerative farm look like?

[@ejking7759]

Greg Judy does have some pretty pastures. It’s probably because he’s in Missouri and this guy is in Georgia. I will say Greg Judy’s cows look a lot better though which is something they are able to control. Greg Judy’s cows have deeper guts, they are shorter and they are also red. That’s what a cow built for grazing looks like, a cow meant for the feedlot has long legs and a shallow gut because they’re not as suitable for grazing.
