Early data on water and AMP grazing #regenerativeagriculture #waterconservation

WARNING: Soils on AMP grazed farms might be falling off the wagon ;)

See this first-time data for yourself!

This peer-reviewed research reveals a 100x difference in water infiltration on Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazed farms versus conventionally grazed farms!

It's so nice to see people caring about the important things. Keep it up!

I did this on my girlfriends property. Northern California. It was hard soil. So the tree service companies get charged to dump woodchips. I invited them to dump on our place. Spreading it about 8" thick and Spreading manure on it. Praying for rain. Then it came. While we had a break the mushrooms took over. I tilled it a bot later. No more run off. Alfalfa and mixed grasses for her horse.
Its been green for a few years. We do water at night. Now we raise our own meat. Just did another field for hogs.
My neighbors thank me and offer their bigger tractor to help. I did it with a 20hp tractor.
Now I want my own ranch. So working on that.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I hate eco-movements as I feel they’ve been hijacked by ideologues and lobbyists that no longer have natures best interest at heart. But this right here is the one “eco-movement” I am entirely, 110% in favor of. Huge props to Prof. Byck, the whole “roots so deep” team, and all the old farmers that took a chance on changing how they’ve been doing stuff for decades! This is utterly beautiful to see!

Finally after hundreds of years, we're trial-and-erroring our way back to the knowledge that first nations were far superior stewards of the land. I'm just happy we're relearning the old ways of healthy land management. More fires, more varied crops, more frequent rotation of crops and animals in a given area, it's almost like the humans that existed for tens of thousands of years learned how to effectively cultivate the land...😮😅

now you know why we are experiencing flooding on records never seen before

I am retired from US Department of Interior and environmental health and we did "perc" testing. Percolulation testing regularly, soil identification and texturing. Absorption capable and capacity. For on-site waste disposal systems. Not new technology FDA and Department of Agricultural has a lot of information available. Particularly in western part of the USA. Department of Interior has classified most soils and has mapped these areas and are a good. resource.

Small adjustments make GREAT When we fight nature it's non-stop... When we work WITH nature the GIFTS OF ABUNDANCE help heal humans...

Y'all are literally doing God's work! ❤

I have been reading and watching about AMP and regeneration ag. I am hopeful for our world now. Time to apply my learning.

Anyone who has ever worked with things that rust that have all kinds of nooks and cranies knows how water follows any path that's provided for it, like springs, gears, and roots....LOL.

So now if Gates wants to pass out 100 acre plots we can get started 😊

Like John Trudell said we have to Remember what it's like Being Humans on Mother Earth.
watch take back the earth here
Good Luck to Us All

It’s so crazy that participation in land management can yield such an effect in the soil. It also saves the farmers money and time, drought relief/resistance, and they get to offer the purchasing public a far superior tasting and nutritious product.

What would be the benefit of farmers maximizing infiltratrion?

[outsideview]

Recharging the aquafers and capturing carbon into the soil.

Amazing. I planted a cover crop in my raised beds last fall and covered it with a heavy tarp. Everything's dead now so the roots should provide ample nitrogen for my upcoming vegetables.
