Now that we’ve reached the inevitable end of what monopoly power delivers, a simple reminder follows:

"This year I will not buy one calf and take any more risk. I will try to see how much beef I can sell off the ranch directly to consumers and adjust how many cows we keep around. It is not our job as producers to take piles of risk to “grow the herd” when the government or cartel can vaporize it all in a news flash."

As we get into harvest it is time to get cover crops planted. Call us for recommendations or availability! We have Gainer 154 Triticale and Elbon Cereal Rye available for early spring forage as well!

The first flagship paper from the 1000 Farms Initiative was just published.
It changes....what most people think they know about farming.

"The irreparable and deep harm caused by this and former administrations can’t be fixed overnight. President Trump, who admitted we have a “nasty” meatpacker monopoly, must realize we can’t snap our fingers and put people back on the land or quickly rebuild rural America."

As Darwin did for Evolution Hans Jenny did for Living Soil Formation.
"A pedologist's concept of soil is not that of a mere mass of inorganic and organic material, rather it takes cognizance of a certain element of organization that persistently presents itself in every soil"1941

Well, the @barntalkshow podcast with @TorkWhisler and @SawyerWhisler dropped this evening.
They are a class act. Beautiful studio. Fun times!
This one is going to start some conversations!

The institutional skepticism about farmer driven regenerative agriculture isn't wrong, it's just ten years out of date.

Factual error @Morrisons
Are @Morrisons deliberately trying to confuse less educated people?
We KNOW that green beans are a natural source of ‘folate’ NOT folic acid!
The marketing of ‘folic acid’ as a healthy addition to our foods is getting out of control! But not illegal.

From conventional to adding the Regenerative approach.
Then side by side in depth analysis.
The potential of nature is awesome.

📢Representative's from Bayer4Crops and American Council on Science and Health ruthlessly slam US farmer driven Regenerative Ag
No mention of the breakthrough science, practices or tech for the future of regen. agriculture at all scales.
Sustainable production of nutritious food
If we switched to all “regenerative” farming, we’d need every scrap of arable land on Earth.
And we could only feed 4 billion people.
“Which 6 billion would volunteer to starve?” — @DrLizaMD
So why is @SecKennedy about to spend $700 million promoting regenerative farming?

Plants have a natural proclivity towards open space both above and below the surface of the soil.
The value of plant sequences is tapping into this time and space. Gaining displacement with each individual
seed —> plant
Understand how to cultivate phenotype
Understand how to get more productive landscapes/acres from just how you make it dance longer and stronger
