Homesteading Maverick: Joel Salatin’s Lunatic Farming Revolution

[@victorandrews9790]

Joel Salatin for Director of Department of Agriculture!!

[@africadreamin]

What a brilliant story and an example of how government overreach can and will destroy not just a family but a way of living in order to make you subservient to the system.

[@benjaminrailing]

Joel Salatin and Pastor John Macarthur. Both men born "for such a time as this".

[@nickmeltonmortgageman4814]

Wow. I love this guy. What happened in Venezuela could easily happen in the USA now if we are not careful

[@joehernandez2024]

Awesome story.

[@jaredluczynski3301]

When government can put you out of business without proof or simply because their donors complain you are taking money from them in competing with their business that government has too much power.

[@dianalittle7323]

YEP, THAT'S WHY THE GOVERNMENT STOLE US 6 FROM MY GROWING INNOCENT FAMILY, IN THE 1060S BECAUSE WE WERE LIVING OFF-GRID MINUS ELECTRICITY... MY DAD HAD A SINGING; WORKING BAND, THAT THEY TOOK THE MUSIC FROM HIS SOUL WHEN THEY STOLE HIS 6 BABIES WHILE HE WAS ON HIS WAY, DRIVING HOME FROM SINGING ON THE GRAND OLE OPRY FOR THE FIRST TIME...

[@r.a.h.6629]

We Americans need to seriously take note of what this man is saying.

[@victorandrews9790]

God hates the sin but loves the sinner...I hate government and the bureaucracy, and since I'm human flesh and bones, I very much dislike the bureaucrat!!

[@mitchell9782]

Why is the word "grazing" politically incorrect?

[@davemc8598]

What an amazing story and example of faith in the Lord and His plan, not to mention a sobering reminder of how we have we have handed way too much power to the government that is supposed to serve us and protect our God-given rights. Thank you Nick for bringing us this story and Joel for being willing to share his knowledge. Can’t wait to learn more from both of you.

[@MrCarkyle]

Joel's like your wackadoo uncle that just happens to be right about everything that sounds crazy.

You know you are raising a premium product when the competition wants you dead!

[@patricksicard1505]

Mr. Salatin is genius.

[@richstone2627]

Joel is a National Treasure.

[@FlokieLooney]

Joel is amazing. Dudes been killing the game for quite a while. His practice has helped so many thousands of people. Great little interview.

[@karalevskyborzoi]

If there is ever a Mt. Rushmore of agriculture, we know Joel will be on it!

[@markhasenour12]

Joel is a full of bull scammer making up BS to sell less quality for more money to people who can't see through his BS....

[@hollyjobitner3285]

He would probably not want his face on a rock, but to let nature be what it is. I understand your sentiment is in the right place. 💙

[@22airgun]

He’s mentioned the barrels his Dad packed to bring back to America in a few books. I always wondered what was in those barrels?

[@Suresh8848m]

Oh, man! What an inspiring real-life story from Joel, that makes you think deeply about our current farming system and bureaucracy. This is why we need change for the better to make agriculture more sustainable for our kids and the coming generations. Great interview. Keep going, guys.

[@ctreid87]

You need to be promoting this channel, Nick!

[@marynunn1708]

Seeing a side of the Salatin family that Ive never seen before. Thanks for being so honest and transparent! And thanks for being such an inspirational lighthouse for those of us following your lead!

[@Participant]

You had us at "lunatic." 🖤

[@staceyogier6154]

Seriously I need more of this chat!!!❤

[@danr5104]

I grew up on a family dairy farm in the 70's. We lost it during the farm "crisis " in the 80's. Wish I knew Joel growing up..This is the best conversation about agriculture I have ever heard. Keep on farming Joel!

[@mickmcmenemy7701]

I'm delighted to have found this channel, it seems in it's early days from just 627 subscribers. This will grow I'm sure. Fascinating to hear Joel Salatin describe the sacrifices and risks his family have had to take to be where they are and live the way they do.

[@DaleHiggins-m4c]

Corporate farm is not sustainable

[@WotanSkyFather]

Is there more to this interview? This was riveting. I can't believe there are only 7k views so far!

[@dianalittle7323]

THE POWER AND CONTROL FREAKS KEEP PEOPLE FROM SEEING THESE TRUE RESPONSES WHEN YOU ARE ON THE GOVERNMENT BLACK LIST... LIKE I AM... AND SO I BELIEVE JOEL IS ON THAT SAME LIST AS I MOST CERTAINLY AM : THEY USE, AND PAY STATE WORKERS TO MAKE FALSE COMMENTS, AND WRITE LIES ON THE PEOPLE TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM FOLLOWING... FEAR FACTOR!!!

[@thomasreto2997]

Wife and I are looking forward to listening to you again at the HOA convention. So inspirational. We will be in the are and looking to book a farm tour!🤙

[@dianalittle7323]

THEY WANTED THAT MEAT!!! IT DIDN'T GO TO WASTE THEY HAD A PARTY WITH IT, AND LAUGHED AT YOU ALL THE TIME THEY WERE EATING IT... SHAME THEY DIDN'T CHOAK ON IT, BUT THE DEVIL PROTECTS THEIR OWN, LIKE GOD PROTECTS US FROM THEM...

[@7megan7]

These two are national treasures ❤

[@staceyogier6154]

Is this all of it? I thought there was hours of footage to be seen? Was so excited to see more of both of you.

[@fredfrond6148]

What a great story.

[@tomvanwirt3880]

Best interview of Joel, yet!

[@seanmellows1348]

Outstanding gentleman, excellent interview. Coincidentally, everything I want to do is also illegal, and I live in Canada.

[@khorner1109]

Always something to learn from Joel Salatin! Thx for sharing!

[@brendabaker3960]

I would love to see more of this interview! ❤ I think it is impossible to get enough of his experiential wisdom!

The rule of law unless I don't like it.

[@jamieszuba1758]

So, in this method do you give vacine or shots? For instance, polio vacine- everyone seems ok with. Covid vacine not so much. Do you deworm or is there one vacine/shot that you give yiur animals?

[@margaretanton1680]

Joel says in his books that there have been only 2 occasions where he had to vaccinate his animals for anything, once for chickens and once for cattle. Both times he later discovered the disease problem was a result of a mistake he made, which he later corrected. So he doesn't regularly vaccinate his animals, as his management style is fairly effective at preventing disease.

[@adamschaafsma5839]

I forgot this was where you were going to post this I was just about to ask Hamilton where it went, glad the algorithm recommended it to me.

[@mikehunte398]

Can tell this flannel was straight out of the package for the interview.

[@christineh4782]

Or it's pressed like a military uniform.

[@davidb2206]

Joel is so appealing on the Clean Food and organic info, but his history is weak. All that "noble savage" stuff is ludicrous (which he repeats in various public speeches). The Indians lived to an average lifespan of 25. Does Mr. Salatin not know this? Does he not know that he tribes warred with each other, in brutal massacres? Does he not know that most of them lived a near-starvation life and had a very high infant mortality? That "Noble Savage" stuff just does not fly.

[@joanjohnson2697]

You must be jealous and a commercial government farmer. Where's your proof

[@davidb2206]

@@joanjohnson2697 Nope. Wrong guesses. Proof is in modern anthropology. Overwhelming evidence. Oh, and they are not "native" and were not here first, either.

[@whineysnowflake8072]

free help....hundreds of acres.. and tour money helps this system work. NO ONE can do this as average farmer. Thats the problem

[@stellarjayatkins4749]

Not true, Greg Judy and many others do it as well.

[@whineysnowflake8072]

@@stellarjayatkins4749 not "one person"...tbhey all have plenty of paid help. The average farm in the US has 2 people that work a farm. They make it APPEAR like its just one old dude

What are those last few words in our National Anthem? ...LAND of the FREE and home of the brave. Or land of the free because of the brave. Thank you to Joel, Nick and countless others for being brave.

[@sterling2p]

To do things the better way, you need more people and less machines. They have to get around regulations stopping them from building more housing for the help.

[@gabrielgolden4336]

I consider Joel to be a genius.
