Farming with Nature: The Cholderton Way

[@simondennis262]

What an inspiration. As a small farmer I specialise in beef finishing but this inspires me to do all I can to be more mixed. Thank you for cheering me up!

I always say that regenerative agriculture is win-win for the land, the creatures, the air and the farmer's pocketbook.

9:07 Concentrates actually lead to less methane production than pasture and hay. There are other good reasons to keep cows on pasture and not feeding ruminants things humans could eat instead, though. Great video!

An incredible example of respectful, responsible, productive land management. I cannot imagine the hard work that has gone in to creating this system.

The production on this film reminds me of some of the fantastic and charming documentaries on the countryside which were made in the 70’s to mid 90’s, before the presenter was made to pretend they had just met the interviewee on a stroll as on countrybile

Regenerative agriculture is so inspiring.

You know people whinge about Brexit but as an outsider (Australian) I am really excited for Britain to see what she can make of herself in spite of all the naysayers. And this is a prime example. The work that has gone into this must have been significant. We should be doing the same thing down here.

[@gillgoode7470]

Of course, Henry began this before Brexit was even conceived!

good job DEFRA nice video not a farmer interesting insight

[@adamholden8774]

Great stuff, really encouraging to see. Have you looked at no-till as an option to maximise carbon sequestration?

[@teacherericka]

👏👏👏

[@fivestarsupplies]

You will get loads of view's now. Via twitter. Very good.

[@spencersanderson1894]

The government should put this video up on a big screen in front of all those farmers protesting right now. Then they wouldn’t be moaning about being paid to put wildflowers in.

[@Castor364]

I know the music is Pastoral. But can't get the scene from Soylent Green out of my mind.

[@paulchapman5865]

I really love this short film wonder if anyone can tell me what other names Sand fine might be called i can't find anything on google about it

[@The3Ladds]

Sanfoin!

[@michaeloconnor9809]

Good farming but such a shame so much land owned by so few. Just back from a break in Salisbury, very few people living in that countryside. Also field size is immense compared to a generation ago so a huge amount of wildlife destroyed in favour of machinery efficiency, subsidies and grants.

Now the farming communities have Starmer the farmer harmer to deal with too

[@declanjoyce8640]

This is so good to see, proper farming but don't get caught up in the Net Zero / Carbon psych-op, it will lead you down a unnecessary path at great expense.

[@leelindsay5618]

Silage and hay....why not just keep the cattle on the pasture? This is an improvement to confinement dairies, but more could be done. There isn't such a thing as a weed. Here they count the stalks as part of the crop when cows would prefer to eat only the leaf tops.

[@stevenjohnson5126]

Because the land will be poached in the winter

"Farming with nature", and all you hear and see is huge fossil fuel engines driving around on the huge fields of a huge farm - the scale of everything is huge! I know this is the status quo of farming, and it's all good and well to transform that. But there's something wrong on a _systemic_ level when farming is performed by monster trucks, deeply dependent on fossil fuels, and only a few human beings.

[@navarra-qf2ds]

This is the biggest joke i ever saw. Not even one tomato, one potato, one garlic, one etc ,etc ,etc This is to make 1 man rich. A complete disgrace
