The Story of Dairy | Regenerative Agriculture Documentary

[@felichia808]

Great Work by the Savory Institute! Thank You Savory Institute for sharing this knowledge 💖💖💖 Soil management is what the buffalo did before millions of buffalo were slaughtered. The land needed the buffalo to thrive.

[@DawnieGTheBeekeeper]

I'm just a backyard gardener, a one acre homestead...I love this video. I passion made me very emotional. I can't get enough of it, it is taking too my soul. I just bought the holistic management book(audio).

[@kimvlas]

Agreed - music was an unnecessary distraction. But lets not let that distract from the overall value of what was discussed.

[@saucywench9122]

Thank you Savory institute!

[@kristijantadic8476]

Doing the same in germany. Started one year ago on sandy ground with yellow grass. Now its green with scarabeus and lot of other insects

[@valkasolidor6727]

Another wonderful and hopeful story. I found the stories and perspective of the young Turkish farmers especially moving.

[@eliamarabotto3573]

Great video, thank you very much Savory Institute. They are all nowadays heroes, to me. My greetings from Italy 😃

[@eliseofragoso]

Great channel . Good work everyone involved . Help our people live so they enjoy being here .

[@beeawarenessitself1056]

That was AWESOME! Thank you ❤️

[@bainomugishadaniel7396]

I wish I would really meet these families......😢, I love dairy, I love animals, and I really love nature ❤️ , this is my everyday thoughts and dreams 😢.... May God bless all farmers in the world 🌎 ❤

[@ChuckRedwood]

Great video! I'm so happy to see when farms add a processing element and are able to capture more of the retail value of their product.

[@africaeyesandears]

Wonderful inspiring guys. I simply love what you are doing. Please know you will be a key part in saving this planet. People and animals in symbiosis

[@colmanlong1032]

Great video such an amount of information and knowledge. Regen the way to go.

[@jjj32801]

Thank you for the awesome video. I miss my days working on the farm!

[@leslievienneau84]

Many many thanks for creating and uploading all these vitally important vids! May I suggest toning down the music so it doesn’t drown out the messages you wish to impart - xoxo

[@brandonkrause6401]

Loves these videos!

[@saamokari2356]

Yeah, me too. I love that they speak the truth but remain silent. Unlike those "vegan propaganda" films. Not that i don't like veganism...i think it's peaceful and people at least think about what they eat. But often vegans (like me before i found this) think that veganism is the answer to everything and that it will solve all our problems. Cows can also help us solve these problems and regenerate the land. Even vegetable and crop farming, when conventional is very destructive. 🌱🌻🌱🌻

[@crustycrowley]

Really enjoying these videos. My question is how do we incorporate cereal crops into the regenerative agriculture system?

[@whiterabit09]

Google Dr Kellogg, grain is just as bad for humans, as it is for cows.

[@swamp-yankee]

Check out the Land Institute. There is a perennial wheat that is already in our food system in the USA. It's called Kernza, and marketed as Kamut. I am no expert, but I believe the goal is to establish a poly culture of legumes, forbes, grasses, and Kernza that can be harvested for grain or grazed.

[@swamp-yankee]

​@@whiterabit09 Grain is not inherently bad for cattle or human beings. Excessive consumption is the problem. Demonizing specific foods is unproductive. Look at the lipid hypothesis. Two or three generations were brought up to believe that the animal fats consumed by our ancestors for thousands of years were the cause of modern chronic illnesses, and avoided them even though animal fat consumption had not increased. They were replaced with carcinogenic trans fats, since outlawed, and said chronic diet related illness have continued to increase even though we are eating less animal fat per capita. Who funded the studies blaming animal fats for chronic illness? The sugar industry. Guess what we eat more of than ever before? Not animal fat. I think the likes of Kellogg should be brought into the conversation about human nutrition, and the food system only to help us understand the historical context of where we are. We have come a long way in our understanding about what human beings are since he lived. To say you shouldn't eat this, or you shouldn't eat that does nothing to help people decide what to eat to stay healthy and thrive. And guess what Kellogg did? He experimented on the diets of people committed to an insane asylum, and started a brand of GRAIN BASED breakfast cereal to keep people from masturbating. What a crack pot.

[@nephilimPB]

No till plant wheat or corn interplanted with legume understory and with forage tree rows every 100 feet. Harvest the grain and leave the stalks. Then ruminants come in and feed on the stalks with supplements from tree rows.

[@BarryAnderson]

Holistic Chef Barry Anderson of Phuket Thailand is a Thai Organic Gardener and is Interested in modern-day Homesteading in a regenerative style of working with Mother Nature Organically and not fighting or waging any CHEMICAL WAR against her like what the MONO CORPORATE GMOS factory farms are doing today. Thank You, PS So now unfortunately for most consumers corporate dairy agenda is very dangerous to one's microbiome and gut health. But organic pastured cultured fermented dairies like kefir and yogurt is impossible to find at the retail level. So this biblical food is difficult or impossible to find and is in short supply. We have thrown Motore Nature under the bus and we are paying for it in so many ways not good for most people. The retail industry and corporate farms are destroying the immune systems of millions. PLEASE PLEASE MAKE YOUR CONSUMER STATEMENT OF POWER AND CONTROL TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ORGANIC FARMERS IN SEASON DIRECT even bypassing the greedy retail supermarkets that does not care about your health but care more about sales only.

[@billlyoliveman]

The music is so damn loud that at times it's really difficult to hear what people are saying! :-(

[@thecurrentmoment]

Agreed

[@sandyalexander4438]

Struggling to hear the speech.

[@BoggWeasel]

How many cows per acre can this method support ?

[@dianafitzpatrick2423]

Wonderful. Thank you

[@BoopShooBee]

Good video to get the information out to the public. The background music served no purpose though. It just made it harder to understand what the farmers were saying.

[@jameshunt2905]

From another angle all together and a much bigger perspective these fine folks are proving we can cure stupid! So much appreciation for these folks finding the courage to step off...... from that moment they have been winning and they are willing to share what they’ve been up to, endured and how its paying off. Now the challenge is recognizing those who merely bought the farm instead of building one...... or a hundred thousand as these fine people are. Doing, being and having! Thank you! Many more might just live through this shit show because of your efforts...... Blessings to all who find the courage to prove a different reality!

[@parissamuel6676]

I can get my Official transcript Tomorrow.

[@forgoodnessache5399]

Short and sweet! I wonder if that bottled Grass Fed milk is still pasteurized.

[@cleburne-dfwseptic6843]

depends on the locality, most states make it very hard to sell dairy without pastu/homog or at least one of the processes

[@unhippy1]

the grass feed milk i get is pasteurized but not homoginised

[@BoopShooBee]

I used to buy raw milk in glass returnable bottles years ago, but somebody in some department in an undisclosed location stopped the farmers from selling it. I am not saying that the creamer lobby had anything to do with it. That would be accusing them of bribery and I can't prove anything.

[@gkp76]

what do they do in the winter? do they have to buy feed at that point?

[@dukeofistria]

They still have some grass, but they mostly rely on hay.

[@parvaji]

Music is too loud/annoying/overlapping the certainly very interesting content (which i couldn't watch til the end due to the disturbing "noise"...). Thanks for reducing the volume in the next uploads!

[@wendyscott8425]

I agree. I really wanted to hear what some of the softer-spoken people were saying, and it was quite difficult. In spite of all that, it was very inspiring. I've been buying grass-fed milk at Trader Joe's since I discovered it there, and it's quite delicious!

[@SavoryInstitute]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@ecob_co]

Well done!

[@amyfrueh4808]

I come from a conventional farming family, and what I'm looking for is information on making small changes towards becoming more regenerative. Farmers whose families have been farming for centuries (like mine) will not listen to people who are new to farming or are not/have not been relying on farming for their income. My dad would never listen to a city person

[@SavoryInstitute]

This case study may be of interest: savory.global/science_library/less-stress-more-grass-by-managing-holistically-2/

[@cutdepiefails6596]

That pasture at 10:27 is NOT ready at all for graizing, that land should be resting for a while, wayy too over graized and short, unless it's rain season but still....

[@muziwethudlamini6326]

How big is your farm?

[@beernd4822]

That music makes it hard to understand what is being said.

[@2Langdon]

Great stuff. One small criticism though - the background music is too loud and often makes it difficult to hear people speaking.

[@kevinkelleher7868]

Had to switch off music overwhelmed conversion . Pity

[@havfaith56]

Is your bottled milk slow batch pasturized?

[@regeneratetheland293]

Doesn't matter. You can obviously get both from a cow 😅 But it matters a whole lot what the cow eats and how it is kept. Holistic management can save the earth and the humans.

[@ligurian728]

the music is a distraction

[@SavoryInstitute]

We hear you (no pun intended). This video was made back in 2016 so unfortunately we can't make a new edit with toned down music, but we certainly are keeping it in mind on any new videos we make.

[@harishankar2603]

The question is where are the calves ?? Are they getting the deserved amount of milk? If not what's the whole point of this !!

[@mckaychapple1737]

All healthy cows naturally produce too much milk for their calves. After the calf is fed we get the rest. If not milked the cow can get very sick

[@kartchner7]

That’s the definition of calf on cow dairy

The damned music is so loud it masks whatever ideological spiel is being said.

[@berber1930]

Nice vid. Interesting, too. The "music", however, is disturbing, too loud, and hardly CONTRIBUTING to the message.

[@frederiksmees5503]

The 100% grass fed is not really correct is it. Awesome work wish I had the money to buy a small farm. Although I manage a beautiful bit off forest holistically 😊😊

[@davidwilkie9551]

Rote learning results in the wrong, dismissive attitudes to superficial knowledge and bs in the holistic sense is soil nutrition, not a pollution problem. Good is good.

[@mudball47]

Turn that freakin music down.

[@SavoryInstitute]

Sorry, this is an old video from 2016 and we no longer have access to the original source files. We've heard this complaint from others but unfortunately not much that can done.

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

But is it profitable? They never actually say. And if you're trying to make a difference with these 'feel-good' videos and change farmer's minds, you have to talk about profit.

[@SavoryInstitute]

Here's a case study from Dharma Lea Dairy, featured in the film. In short, yes, it's profitable: savory.global/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Less-Stress-More-Grass-by-Managing-Holistically.pdf

[@paulhill3187]

All sentiment and no science in this video. Convince me please!

[@elisteinberg7057]

watch "Running out of time" the documentary from the Savory institute. Or watch Alan Savory's ted talk. Or watch or read any speeches or books written by Joel Salatin.

[@downbntout]

See White Oak Farm, Will Harris, has independent lab analysis certifying the tonnage of carbon that has been stoked into the soil. See Gabe Brown, The 5 Tenets of Soil Health here on YT, way more profit
