Richard hope all is well! Hoping to see you make a return to youtube soon. Love your videos and your welth of knowledge ive learned so much from you videos. thankyou!!!

[@Bizarreparade]

Actually US Soldiers have the highest suicide rate at a current average of 22 a day. Farming is one of the things that saved my life. Thanks for all the help over the last 7 years! I have been following Ridgedale since I first ran across the channel. Congrats on your success sir. It is well deserved and hard earned.

[@ZillazGetnpaid]

Thanks for your service, check out Veterans to Farmers. You're right, this is a way to keep the demons at bay.

[@paulbraga4460]

😇this stuns me - the suicide rate among US soldiers. my prayers for all of them...blessings to all

[@rengarbot]

I’m a marine vet and 22 a day is the amount recorded in a study done in 2014 as of the study done in 2020 by the National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report the total is (16.8) so 17 a day compared to the now 28 a day for the agriculture industry

Inspiring how Richard build up his knowledge on soil based farming activities. A hundred steps every day makes a complete marathon very quickly. Thanks for sharing.

[@SelahGardens-kr9ui]

Your videos and talks are awesome. This video and your channel in general has such a good balance between the general “why” of farming and the details needed to make the dream a reality. Thank you so much!

Assuming your broiler production season is 6 months (it's probably less in Sweden), you'd need to sell about 900 birds per month (or 225 per week) to get to 4,500 birds total (slaughtered at 8 weeks old). That's a LOT of direct marketing work - not to be underestimated. Selling through a wholesaler would be far easier but less profitable. Labour is also important to factor into profitability as trying to do all of this on your own would be a recipe for burnout. Not wanting to be a naysayer, it's just worth putting it into perspective. What you've achieved is incredible and you make it look super easy Richard!

[@justinxiaoproject6980]

Not everything is going to be a piece of cake lol. There's always a price for something

[@markislivingdeliberately]

One can learn all the marketing they need for free on KZbin. Just gotta do it.

[@18Rhapsody]

I have absolutely loved following you for years I have your regen ag book and I've been talking my husband into bits and pieces and he's finally starting to grasp what I'm saying (I'm not the best explainer) and a condensed talk like this is going to really help! Thank you for sharing

[@18Rhapsody]

@@azrael6685 he's busy and this is my jam.. but I've had him look at and read quite a few bits or the book so 👍👍

[@OfftoShambala]

Haven’t heard from Richard in a while. No posts for 8 mos.

[@wwoofthailand]

Great presentation on small scale farming, patterns, food security, community resilience, and the need for small farm healthy food. Good luck with Ridgedale.

[@ruchirguitar]

Update on the pond please! Has it cleared? How is it growing?

[@deanaseligman2594]

Great presentation, really well explained

[@stream7650]

Beautiful *Video ❤️ I think the pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple sources of income, unfortunately having a job does not guarantee financial security. I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance during these difficult times.

[@forgathyrichmond746]

So True! I'm into stocks Investment, Forex trading, cryptocurrency investments, Real Estate Investments and I am making good profits from them all. I always encourage Investments.

[@jeffalbert6841]

I am interested in forex trading and stock investments, any recommendations? And much can I start with?

[@forgathyrichmond746]

It is best to have an investment *manager* who has in-depth knowledge about investing, to help you make money on your investment on your behalf, while you will be monitoring investment growth.

[@jeffalbert6841]

Any reliable professional manager? I would love to communicate with them. Thank you so much.

[@forgathyrichmond746]

I went from 3000, to 500,000 in 3 years.

[@drbekstudio8043]

Appreciate your efforts, hope one day I will meet Richard

[@bea.nyerges]

Great material, as always. HOpe you will let us know how you are getting on from time to time. So sad that you are now less seen on KZbin. Meant a lot to see what you have been doing. All the best in your next endeavours.

[@lenkasurianska]

Thank you, perfect sharing 🙏

[@TheJansonn]

Great stuff

[@debrakessler5141]

Fantastic!

[@mlindsay527]

Obviously a lot of thought has gone into your production systems. I’m still hung on the use of imported grain which is presumably grown with methods that deplete the soil and/or other natural resources. Completing the cycle would require the use of human sewage products which are contaminated with metals, PFAS, and other substances. Oceangoing animal or plant products may be a partial solution. Any other ideas for completing the production cycle without further depleting limited resources?

[@justinxiaoproject6980]

Gabe Brown is a Regenerative agriculture guy in North Dakota that grows his own grain to feed his pastured chicken. You should check out his methods of grain growing that Don't deplete the soil

[@justinxiaoproject6980]

Fun Fact, carbon is a toxin sink. If you can get your property as high in carbon as possible, there is the possibility that the carbon will absorb and break down toxins into nontoxic elements that can be used. I would advise in doing your research on that one.

[@jackgeorge6288]

You can also just grow plants and not animals

[@pguk83]

Does anyone know what book Richard is referring to at about 38:00?

[@sarahjrurka]

Referring to pre-sales somehow. Launched this system along with a pre-sale site?

[@BaliFoodTreePlanter]

Love your human scale relationship-based Regenerative farming. I can see you've never heard of my Regenerative at ecovillager scale in Bali since 1988. I made history 4x for Regenerative since 1981. Will connect with you through your website

[@vahlla78]

Do you still have your farm? Last I saw u said u were fixing it up to sell. You’ve been missing on KZbin and TikTok for many months

[@Jasmic0137]

Excellent talk, thanks Richard!

[@ryanalexander3088]

Anyone got the recommended website please for the agricultural books out of print?

[@irishfruitandberries9059]

38.00 anyone know the book Richard mentions here?

[@hogarthsregression1386]

Oliver Anthony's interview with jordan peterson, he mentions regenerative agriculture that he wants to do on his land. Now that would be another great conversation to be had, you and him. :)

[@Jason-pc9tx]

Can you share what the pond fabric is?

[@pguk83]

I think there is a video of the pond going in on his channel, where from memory, he used 2m kaolin rolls laid down by machinery which form a waterproof seal. The stuff isn't cheap, but it's effective. It was a very large pond and 'gleying' that sort of area would be a task and a half!

[@babsoneverything3060]

Thank you for sharing this, Richard!!

[@Colin-pg2su]

Great Stuff! Thank you. 👨‍🌾

[@ilzitek2419]

What do you think about WEF that wants to get rid of farmers and to make us eat bugs?

[@lukew6703]

"You're probably busier than they are because you're a farmer." Hilarious

Dude, what happened to all your videos? He used to make awesome videos and they haven’t made any months because you gotta pay for everything now.

[@Enjoy_my_1st_Amendment]

Probably like alot of people tired of being restricted, cant show this cant say that. If you make your own platform that's user supported you can show what you want and say what you want because no 3rd party exists to say otherwise. Just you and your viewers running the show and frankly that's better for everyone except the 3rd party.
