SGF’s Multi species Grazing School with Greg Judy The Pros and Cons of Multi Species Grazing 1 of 4

This clip is from The Multi-species Grazing School
In this 1st part of 4, Greg Judy discusses “The Pros and Cons of Multi-Species Grazing”
Author of No Risk Ranching and Comeback Farms, Greg Judy grazes 1620 acres on his own and leased land. Beginning with custom grazing cattle, he has added sheep and pigs. He is convinced that the best way to get into the grazing business is to lease fallow land and employ high density grazing to jump start the soil life into a productive pasture.
His books are available from the SGF Bookshelf (www.stockmangr...)

Greg Judy........keep in mind. What you see is not what you always get ! I call Greg " Glyphosate " Greg. Its his favorite word ! Greg often side tracks people into thinking what he feels you should be doing. Greg wont allow anyone to talk ill about him or his operation......or your blocked ! His mind is closed to reality. Greg calls ordinary farm land " dead soils " When those soils produce 250 bu. per acer corn........ and 80 bu. soybeans ? These are dead soils ? As a farmer....I rotationally grazed dairy cattle for more then 40 years. I know the realities of farming and grazing. Ask yourself...why arent there more dairy farmer rotationally grazing ? Then relate it to Greg. He came from Minn. dairy country. Greg says he focuses on the positives. Fact is........ before you can move forward..........you must be able to understand the negatives and relate......solve problems. Until then....you go no where ! An example..... Gregs latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXq9qqeOjrt5g5I Time 1:51 to 3:52 . Greg stated earlier he bush hogs / clips his pastures to control brush. Before he blocked me....... I suggested he kill the brush instead of brush hog it......if he didnt..... the brush would over take his pastures. Finally Greg figured it out !!!! Congratulations Greg !

Soil is lost to erosion at the rate of one inch every 13 to 65 years depending upon conditions and farming practices used. However it takes hundreds of years, 500 to 1000 to make an inch of soil. Silvopasture has advantages to growing row crops to feed livestock. Greg Judy sometimes brush hogs a field after the livestock have passed to suppress a few plants both Cattle and Sheep bypass due to it not being palatable.

@@markpiersall9815 Soil biology ......... can and does eat the soils out of house and home. Its reality ! And sandy soils never gain anything....they remain " sand " ! So called " good soil biology " will never allow sandy soils to be anything other then " sand " .
