[@philliplamberth4075]

This is the best simple teachings I have ever seen. It's amazing all the things you have taught us. I wish I would have known this in my teens. You are so knowledgeable. Youall are great teachers. I was watching TV KZbin and this popped up on my screen. I have so much land and woods but not the skills . Shameful this isn't taught in all schools. Thank You so much.

Can the chickens survive by just eating from the pasture or do you have to give them all that feed?

Great video we've been following Joel for a while, he's been an inspiration to all of us small Homesteaders. Will be implementing some of his applications on our Homestead.

This is a whole magnificent ecological structure and environmental friendly Agricultural development facility project, keep it up, I've learnt alot and you have ignited my motivation to start however much small I can, thanks so much

[@viscache1]

We tried to enlarge our farm but over the two years that our neighbor took to decide to sell the influx of Seattle and California transplants drove rural land up from the $5,000 per acre that we paid to $35,000 per acre asking point and competing bids have driven it as high as $50,000 per acre....IN JUST TWO YEARS! I bought precious metals and am patiently waiting for the land market crash..(that’s how I got our 10 acre starter..) when it happens again I have enough cash saved to buy up 100 more acres surrounding us. Our farm was the original homestead and once had 1,000 acres..a working dairy and beef operation. We bought on a desperation sale and want to start buying back in hard times. Keep saving in good times. Now we sheep ranch the land following your example.

I love to listen and hope to absorb a substantial information to apply on my 10 H piece of Philippines upland coconut land which happens to be a micro watershed irrigating some 30 H of paddy. I acquired this beautiful yet degraded area several years ago and inventoried some 400 not so productive coconuts, 10 previously planted Cassia and 2are bearing seeds.I already planted Albizzia falcataria ( FALCATTA), 300 new coconuts. I plan to train 2 farmer-partners to be part of the stewardship enterprise to be integrated in the system.

[@JesusLebtUndRettet]

Thank you Mr. Daniele Chesano for the Recommendation of this Video. I will allways side with small scale Farming and Homesteading. I am a vegetarian, however i know due to my Grandparents who were small scale mountain farmers in former czechoslovakia, that permaculture gardening and homesteading can be done best with Keeping the following Animals involved, coexisting, helping us and we them: Bees (polination), Chickens (ground turning, some pest bugs eating) and Goats (bushes trimming) and a Bulls/Horses/few Cows/Sheeps ( 4 Plowing, Keeping/Survival of Graslands and their Care and Fertilising), of course only if they are free roaming. And Humans can take what they need from these Animals without having to necessarily kill them. I do however disagree with fanatical vegans who will buy products from multibillion dollar companies, like nestle- who harm nature severelly, yet they condemn small farmers 4 keeping animals, they do not know jack about natures cycles and balance. So while i personally try to avoid killing unless for shere survival, i do continue eating Milk, Eggs, Butter and Honey from small scale and/or organic Farming. It is also very beneficial to my Health. Much Love. p.s: i also support regional farming and small coops, meaning the closer to home the better.

If you don't feed grain what do they eat in the winter? I am now 70 and farmed until I was 61 when I got injured and could no longer do the work. I just wish that I had known about a lot of these rotational ideas back then I had 600 acres and leased another 1000. We could only run 1 unit (cow & calf ) per every 8 acres. Of course I didn't know about you tube which is really helpful often. Thank you for the information and ideas.

[@PeteThecurious100]

Your video is very thought-provoking to me being a "conventual' farmer. Here in New Zealand, the regenerative word has just become fashionable and hard to grasp what they are on about because each guru emphasises different points. We tend to think it is a marketing word for rotational grazing but after seeing your very descriptive demonstration in your cattle paddock I can see clearly the merits and management and of course the credible results and with no imported fertiliser! Thank you.

This is one video which I will be going back to several times until I get it. So much has excited me and so much to learn and understand. Thank you for taking the time to share such knowledge. You stimulated my interest and opened a lot of possibilities which were unimaginable. The grazing pattern between cattle and chickens, amazing. Pigs that do not require housing for me is the greatest imaginable thing. I am blessed with great climate all year round and feel this is the way to farm. I have so much to say but I ramble, better to get on with it and see how my little 20ha plot will fare. Thank you.

How do you keep predators from wiping out the chickens? Ours would at times fly over the fence and at other times we had coyotes taking the shock and going under the fence. Also ran into a weasel that presumably beat the fence .

Hi Joel. Used to have almost all your books till went abroad and lost them. Appreciate these videos, I miss the books. Say would you be able to talk about your dad and losing the farm to the communists in the 50's Venezuela? I think it would be really interesting even though I know you were a child. Still its very relevant to today. Thanks again for your videos.

[@eddiejohnson3458]

well ive been watching this series from you and i find myself really enjoying it and as a kid we have raised a few cows and i really enjoy how you are farming in a natural way and as i get older i see this is a much better way too farming so now im think i might do what you call a hobby farm but i want to produce enough food for about 30 people now which is just family so i'll teach them how too garden and farm so it can cut the food build in half or cut it out altogether

[@carriem7832]

How do you keep predators out of the hen or turkey houses day or night....we just had a very large raccoon rip up bird feeders made out of oak and hard wire and tore open plastic cans with hard to open snap lids. They rip off chicken wire like it’s yarn. Foxes are not afraid to come up to our house during the day......with the large areas you have how much do you lose to these predators.

[@thesaintmustwalkalone708]

I know he uses electric fencing that he takes down and moves with the chickens everyday.

[@christinebuckingham2480]

He has perimeter fencing and guard dog.

[@whisperingsage]

Turkeys, if you use heritage breeds, they are excellent brooders and they will hatch out their own chicks (we had a Narragansett that would set ducks, chicks, any egg we put under her. ) Maybe you prefer the white hybrids, but the heritage breeds just are more self sufficient for us.

Hello, when moving pigs to a new paddock daily, once all breeder sows are pregnant, do you keep the boar separated from the sows?

They don't breed on the property. They buy weinlings from ethical local breeders. I'm assuming this means any males brought in are cut before they are brought hand.
