Why isn't everyone farming like this?

[@Carl_DenTandt]

Excellent video! Opens my eyes to how a farm works and using our God’s creation to raise our food. God bless brother and keep the great videos coming

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Well said!

[@Crystal-ge9gh]

Amen

[@dat1gurlt286]

Amen

[@josephlashley3166]

He sounds like he reads the Bible and learn from the Bible

[@xander4043]

You’re absolutely right! Joel Salatin’s methods benefits all aspects of farming. Lots of modern day agriculture only benefits the animals for meat. Joel Salatin’s methods benefits the livestock, our health, our planets health, and the land the livestock graze on. It’s incredible! ✝️

[@drewblack749]

You young people owe this man such a debt of gratitude. He is making the farming process doable. Lots of persistence and listening to nature and the world God gave us. He is making the most of and sharing the gifts he has been given. He connects all the dots to his creator. Thank you, Joel.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

In the Bible, God doesn’t mandate for all of His followers to farm. We are happy God lead us away from the awful toxic and damaging practices of homesteading and farming and onto a better living environment. God bless!

[@TonyLaycockJr]

​@@EmilyGloeggler7984God created us to farm the land and care for the animals. It right in the first chapter of Gen.

[@libertybellemedia7165]

Joel is a man full of wisdom, youve got a good friend there.

[@cherrydowns7745]

I have watched Joel Salatin for at least 15 years. When he was younger he spread his way of farming all over the US. He is so intelligent about how he runs his farm! He works with nature not against her.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

what Joel is doing on Polyface is great...and it aint exactly rocket science. As farmers we all must work along with nature...what Joel and his family have figured out is that it's much easier to work with nature than to fight nature! Very good point for sure! Many of the concepts that Joel uses are used on my farm

[@christopherboland1216]

Joel Salitin changed my life. I've known I've wanted to homestead for years, but, as a college student, I didn't feel it was the "right time" just yet. However, after watching an interview Justin Rhodes did with him, I was so moved by his process that I decided there was no time like the present. Thanks to your channel, Justin Rhodes, and Sow the Land I had accrued enough knowledge to get me started. I only have a small flock of chickens but when I graduate and can afford some mountain land it won't be so daunting to really dive into animal husbandry. God bless.

[@Crystal-ge9gh]

Good on ya Christopher! God Bless you and your efforts.

[@bigrikstube]

taking action; excellent. Uh, being a selfish human ;) may i suggest you document your journey in video? you are going to make mistakes, I'm 54 and I STILL make mistakes, but you'll learn from them as Joel has I assure you and you would be doing a great service to the farming community.

[@xander4043]

That’s so cool, God bless you and your homestead! ✝️

[@shawndyer8140]

Joel hats off to you sir. The world needs men like you. Be well and god bless.

[@patrickswain47]

Love the channel. I have a suggestion for your next video. Ive seen several videos online from Joel and some of his inspired farmers. Its super encouraging but I'm always left with a few open questions. It would be great if you could do a video on these items! 1.How do the small scale farms navigate the USDA and similar state requirements for on site butchering and sale of the animals (regardless of animal type) 2. How do the farmers market in their local area to find buyers for their animals. Many say friends and family but would be so awesome to hear details of how they found buyers.

[@justloggit22]

This guy is a living legend.

[@tall14dude]

This is so cool! I recently read Joel's book "Folks, This ain't normal" after watching your channel. Farming needs to come back so we can control what goes into our food, not the government.

[@StocksFarm]

Joel Salatin is one of the finest examples of a human being out there. Have followed his work for many many years and put his methods to work on my own farm.

[@mp5249]

He is 100% wrong about coronavirus and part of the problem. Sorry, but the reason New Zealand has 0 cases and we're drowning in deaths and suffering and massive hospital costs are people like him.

[@Lo0die3]

M P please explain?

[@jamesanthonyclemons8031]

Josh I love everything you do but this episode here was especially great I learned a lot thank you

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Glad to hear it!

[@steelarms4235]

It is so refreshing to see more videos that highlight how we can work organically together with the Earth; which provides Organic Food, Shelter & Water for all Creatures to live and thrive together. Our Native American People were the first Farmers, Ranchers and Stewards of Living off the Earth, and all that She Provides. We thank You and Appreciate You for the commitment, dedication and sacrificing your time in providing these videos. They add more and more value every time I watch them.

[@emmahiginbotham7057]

I feel like I have to watch this one again with a pen and paper! Awesome!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

for sure!

[@cekfraun]

I love the brilliance of how Joel Salatin farms and manages the various animals. I only learned about him this year. Don't know why I had never heard of him before, but now I am devouring every video and book I can find! Thank you for this video/interview.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

He's a wealth of knowledge for sure

[@sonyaderossi3068]

You both bless me so much!!! This is hopefully the future of my retirement!!! Thanks for your great videos!

[@MetaView7]

OMGosh Joel is just up the road from you? That's cool. He is so kind, so generous in sharing his knowledge, and he is always smiling, always happy. I guess I would be happy too if I were living on a farm.

[@terrymangum3914]

Wow. What an interesting and informative tour of Joel's farm. He obviously knows the science behind what he is doing. Amazing video. Thanks for the tour.

[@arthurmccorkle2525]

Pure experience!! Ans I agree, he is awesome.!!

[@bcgrittner]

Joel Salatin is one cool guy who knows of what he speaks. I could listen to him all day despite being mired here in suburbia. That was a truly great video.

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Wow !!! I totally enjoyed watching this video. Joel is a walking encyclopedia regarding what is an amazing farming method. Thanks for bringing us along to visit his farm ... 👌☝️👍.

[@pnwfarmandgarden]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share all this with us.

[@anchorageprepper9008]

Joel has an incredible farm setup that we all can learn from! Great video. Thank you

[@lloydmcknight]

wow, what i admire about this is there is no dissenting of his 'competition' but simplistic honesty about the 'stewardness' of true farming or pharmacopoeia!! i first saw this guy in a documentary called 'Earthings" this is totally nostalgic as it brings back many childhood memories visiting my grandparents organic dairy farm!

[@s.pursell8901]

You kept Joe standing in one spot for over 5 minutes. That must be the most grass that ever grew under Joe's feet. Lol. Thank you for the great video. 👍

[@Smacker3801]

Joe is very informative and knowledgeable his explainations are laced together with lots of common sence and his braces are something else, the very best I've ever seen, thanks Joe I really got lots of satisfaction out of this video....

[@topwatch7119]

Josh, this was a phenomenal post. I was born 79 years ago and raised on a farm, but today I learned a bunch. Thanks.

[@TheProfessor102]

I love your videos and love listening to you talk in them. Yet when in the presence of the legendary Joel Salatin you demonstrated great restraint and wisdom to let Joel do most of the talking in your video. You showed great respect for one of the greatest. Thank you.

[@billedgecombe9040]

i am not a farmer ,dont own land ,dont have animals except cats and at 67 i probably never will, however this video is among the MOST interesting/eyeopening videos i have ever seen .the knowledge , humility and love of the earth that this man exudes gives hope for human existence without destruction .great video mr stoney ridge farmer

[@imcat-holic10]

This type of farming makes so much sense it ought to catch on like wild fire. Mr. Joel sure knows his stuff and it's great to hear how much knowledge he has and I can see how he loves life.

[@AubreyJM]

That was very kind of Joel to give you a personal tour of his farm and share his decades of knowledge with us and even to "Whooo!" with you at the end.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Joel is a good fella...and we made a generous donation to Polyface farm for his time and attention....he's done so much good for the farming community..he's a wealth of knowledge!

[@plagueofbadgers]

The way family and life should be. It's hard work and at the end of the day you may be a bit sore but look forward to the next sunrise. Thanks, SRF for taking us along and sharing. 🚜-Woooooo!!!

[@markfinfrock6553]

Good interview Josh, Joel is a wealth of knowledge!

[@adrockey]

Very smart guy and one of the most thought out farms I've ever seen. Great video!

[@jenniferwiilis5267]

This guy need his own show I can watch him all day so informative and love how he explains things

[@anakamhi7097]

Amazing ! Love to see this kind of farming and it will help our planet 🥰

[@SweetPeaFarmNY]

Thank you for sharing this I am a huge fan of Joel and his way of farming! He has helped me learn how to raise diversified livestock in a natural and healthy way!

[@homesteadspirit9209]

Josh, my wife and I visited Pollyface Farm on our honeymoon and plan to go back for our 1 year anniversary. While watching a video on this channel about a month ago we noticed you wearing a polyface shirt! I respect the pigness of the pigs. WOO!!

[@diceblue6817]

Salatin is a living legend! Amazing video - I hope one day to meet him

[@martyvanord984]

I like the way you asked key questions that focused and clarified. You let Joel shine. So many people that do Poly face farms videos get in the way and in the process of making the video they blur the message. Yore Video is well shot and the images are well chosen. Thanks.

[@juanmorse50]

Hey Brother, It's been a dream of mine to live on a small farms since I was a kid. Having a farm someday is my dream. I think all I need is 5-10 acres and that should be plenty for the wife and I to manage. And, thank you for sharing your good and bad farm experiences, they are invaluable.

[@evy684]

Loved this ! Every time I listen to him, I learn something else. I could watch him everyday.

[@TheUltimateAcresllc]

I love how you're so willing to work with @JoelSalitan for the day on his farm while you're getting valuable knowledge and paying homage to those whose been doing this. #Keepupthegreatwork

[@shawndyer8140]

Josh thanks for encouraging us to feed the world.

[@travelingbadger]

Man, Josh this is an excellent video. Joel has a wealth of great information to share with those who will listen. I think I'm going to look him up and try to go visit his place and maybe get in on some of that great education he has to offer.

[@nicholashall3479]

I really enjoyed this whole video. Joel is incredibly knowledgeable, and it was a real treat to see how he does things. Thanks!

[@acehydro06]

Great video Josh, amazing people and farms!! Thanks for sharing Joel!

[@dmark6699]

Looks like Joel likes to raise the Cornish Cross. Pigs look happy not like the factory raised pigs, its amazing to see pigs wagging their tails.

[@tanyajenkins919]

This has been a awesome tour I really have enjoyed . And this gentleman is very knowledgeable of how the whole farm and animals. Thank u for sharing this farm and his operation.

[@SeanBressie]

Fascinating!! What an awesome video. Thank you for the tour and taking the time to pass on the extensive knowledge that this farmer has. He has really done his homework and a gift to the world.

[@BudTheGoldie]

I have watched a lot of videos of Joel, you covered some questions I have not seen the answers to before! Great job! Thank you

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks....yep...I'm not sure that anyone has done what we did today on Polyface...a true look at the systems in place there on the farm...not tackling just one subject..but most all subjects was my goal..getting a true picture of what's happening on this farm

[@bjones8354]

What a good man. So wise and happy to share his knowledge. Thank you for the video!

[@luzlopez6983]

I can’t get enough of his teaching he is awesome 👏

Great video Josh. I’m a big fan of Joel and his farming practices.

[@lukehubbard5644]

I could listen to this guy forever the knowledge you can get from this man

[@larsern86]

Thanks for the video. It's nice to see a video with a (kinda) different perspective and other parts of Joel's farm that we usually don't see 😊

[@rancherrita7512]

Howdy from the Great Lake State , central Michigan ! 🤠 This episode was really cool 👌👍👏. Thanx so much . What a great way to encourage your audience . Keep on keep'n on ! Happy Homesteading 🌞

[@wiv4jesus]

Thanks guys! We have a 10 hectare/25 acres farm in South Africa and we are going to start with livestock farming soon! I got a lot of good tips here and we going to incorporate it on our farm! Blessings!!!

[@iamorganicgardening]

THIS is So GREAT. Looking ahead and working with nature is always a good way. Many Blessing for the lesson.

[@arkansashomestead6015]

I love this man, with this man goes so much information. I would had loved growing up with this as my dad.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

60 years of farming teaches ya something don't it!

[@wishing_starr]

Very good vid. Love the lesson on permaculture. I could never have anything this big but I am thinking of starting small for homesteading. Love the water system. Using nature. Thanks so much.

[@nuckollsfarms4720]

Joel Salatin is the man! My plan is to farm like this.

[@materialclassified]

So much knowledge. Thanks for putting this in the records. I'm sure this will be viewed for years to come by people looking to invest in their land.

[@leonardleveque3745]

One of your best yet. Full of info and ideas. Well done.

[@aleksandrekhutsishvili6040]

Have seen many Salatin videos, but non of them has been this informative. Very well explained and most importantly, filmed the way so everyone can see what is he talking about.

[@ourmidwestlife]

Wow, Just Wow! You got Salatin to say Whoooo!!!! 🤩

[@HotRodDave]

That dude is a national treasure. What a awesome farm set up and wealth of knowledge.

[@truebluefarm6317]

Farming in harmony with nature and Gods creation, the ultimate in stewardship. What a great video!

[@julieanderson5184]

Mr. Salatin I have been following you for years and have the utmost respect. Please please grab the ear of all these big ag fools who are now panicking over not having chemical fertilizers. Cattle feed lots and dairy farms, egg and meat bird "farms" have manure in abundance. Cover crops and rotational grazing and not one person will go hungry. Perhaps now we have the opportunity to change how our food is grown.

[@jeanniearnold7906]

Joel Salatin is the king of farming.

[@joshuachikumbindi3795]

Very intelligent farmers,that is so awesome!!!Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!!

[@jprider7962]

What a great video, learned a lot about farming and permaculture. Thank you both!

[@shawndyer8140]

I could listen to this educational information for weeks on end

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

welcome to the farm channel!!

[@tatyemmanuel1695]

Great seeing and learning from both of you always from the part of the world where I am. @ Huge appreciation I always learn and get a ton of practical farming practices. @Joel that knowledge on keeping pigs like that is excellent....

[@DuyanFarms]

Hi SRF Family. Thanks Josh for the great interview with Mr. Salatin. He is definitely an inspiration to so many of us. I'd love to get into his two day seminar if we can ever fly out of South Korea again for vacation. Cheers and God Bless. ~Mike and Ester~

[@janetyouker1080]

Thank you for sharing this. The moment he said his farm was made to scale up or down I almost started to cry. Thank you again.

[@seek2find]

This is the first time I have heard Joel Salatin refer to building a pond and moving the silt up onto the land. starting @ about 3:30-3:50. I would love to hear more about this.

[@juancbarahona7544]

What a wonderful video with amazing people, thank you. I will be soon growing my own food too.

[@jethrob258]

This was a great interview with Joel

[@dustyroads5753]

Exactly how my grandmother taught me to "farm" in the 70s. I've made hundreds of those exact same chicken tractors over the last 40-50 years

[@justman777texas2]

Awesome information! Appreciate the recognition of the grand design, and how wonderful it is!

[@914Catfish]

Joel is a national treasure.

[@TheRealMonnie]

Great job Bud! Love the video. I like the longer ones like this, they can be really informative.

Josh nothing against all of your videos as they were great BUT, this has to be the BEST video so far! OUTSTANDING

[@Kalvegjerdet]

Wow Josh! This was a really educational experience👌 gives me a lot of new ideas on how to develop my own homestead👍🏻

[@larrymoore6640]

Great video. Lots of good tips and learning. Really shows how the smaller farmer uses what it given to them by nature compared to the mega farmers that use their Dollars to produce.

[@Wakeywhodat]

That was fascinating.. And good for him to pass along his extensive knowledge.

[@jeffjamison8614]

Look how thick and lush his grass is!

[@fletcher3913]

Interesting and informative. Thank you, Josh and Mr. Salatin.

[@akikoito1383]

He has been contacted to be a delegate by every party you can think of! He's a smart guy so it's not hard to see why. What a great and inspiring place, I recommend visiting to anyone who can!

[@fordfan3179]

It's the quality of the chickens grazing area that really makes the difference. It's brilliant!

[@smithent701]

Wow, what a fantastic episode! First time watching, learned SO much (have many questions too) and hope to take advantage of Joel's offerings and to have a farm of my own eventually. Thank you again, Clayton (Austin, TX)

[@SavinABuck45]

That was a very good video and I really liked all the information on raising the pasture chickens and pigs. I like the way you built your movable chicken coops compared to his , your look easier to move. I think I may be building some coops like yours real soon . Thanks for the info

[@torceridaho]

it's so refreshing to her someone speak about the natural world and creation in a deep and profound way.

This was very good brother. Putting some of your principles and ideas in place. Thanks
