Fourth generation farmer says regenerative grazing is the future w/ Harry Cope - Hometown Roadshow

Fourth generation farmer Harry Cope (@copegrassfarms) sat down with us last year at The Lake of The Ozarks to discuss his thirty years of experience working with mother nature.
As he says, “There’s a lot of life on our farm that wasn’t there 15, 20 years ago. It was there 50 years ago.”
Farmers like Harry are growing nutritionally dense food while healing their soils, restoring habitat for wildlife, and building a future for the next generation.

I would have loved to be sitting next to him at the conference without being edited for time. And i wish you guy's would come to my local area. We've got generational farmer's that farm the same way their grandparents & parent's did ... just because. Our old neighbor/landlord lived on his family farm, 112 yrs roughly at the time of his death. They ran free range pig's (sold commercially), cow's, chicken's & some dairy. It's desert country without irrigation, still is for pasture. He & parent's dryland farmed (b4 it was a name), & had good healthy stock, soil until his 2nd wife got involved, then it all went down hill. But the area is always in a drought. A couple of the younger farmer's finally figured out that cover crops will help with water retention, wonder they could learn from Regenerative farming & how long will it take to figure it out.

How much water can we keep? Such an important question

The next generations: At 'Notley Valley Farm' in Northern Tasmania and during the 2025 'Grassroots Festival' in NW Tasmania.

Im a 70 year old farmer. A former dairy farmer . Not everyone is going to eat meat.........meat......meat. There fore..... the options please ??? Im also a Peace Corps volunteer to Liberia Africa for two years. Those folks used slash and burn methods to live ! Growing rice there was like planting rice on our rural gravel roads. My first realization of what fertility meant !!!!!!!! No farmer can " grow " soil. Soils " degenerate " ! An example.........sand. Try to grow soil on sand ??? Wont happen ! Same is true with all soils ! Fertility is limited. Take advantage of soil / fertility when its there ! Because tomorrow it will be gone ! Example...... 100 acres Fertilizer you can double your production equal to 200 acres ! Far cheaper the spending money on purchasing another 100 acres ! So interesting........ grazing milk cows to grazing stock cows ???? Stock cow farmers treat their cattle / calves as trash ! They fail to realize " milk " production related to the cows . Rate of gain ! Stock cow farmer treat their cattle as trash ! If a milk cow ate what most stock cow farmers fed their cattle the cows would go dry ! What to expect in regard to the calves gaining weight ????
