We raise pigs, rabbits, layers, broilers and our main enterprise is dairy goats. Started planting cover crops 3 years ago. We invested in a Genesis no till drill this year. If the math works out it will pay for itself in 2 years. Gabe brown and Ray Archuleta are awesome sources of resource. Looking forward to more pig videos.

OMG, where have yall been? You guys are great. Your content has sparked my mind to research farming on another level. My hope is to have a small farm for me and my family to improve our health and be good stewards of the land. Learning about free-ranging animals is taking us back to a simpler time of raising animals responsibly and humanly. I always say animals should be thanked and honored for giving us food in this cycle of life. Thank you guys for the knowleged.

Plant at higher rate watch for up coming rain if you can find a cultipacker that you can roll over it after seeding is terrific

[garyuselman]

If you have pigs seed pumpkins turnips and radishes and move them often so they don't do to much deep tillage

Hi not so far away, in South Carolina. I am just starting my homestead. House is almost move in ready. Love the channel, lots of great ideas. Looking for ways to be more self sufficient and late season grazing is right on target. Thanks

A percentage represents a ratio so technically it could be expressed in PPM, or even Parts Per Billion (PPB); depending on what is being referenced. Most day to day percentages we use are parts per hundred but as soon as you get into the sciences percentages often reference either PPM or PPB but are usually just annotated as PPM or PPB to eliminate this confusion. Organic matter is likely PPM, 3000 parts organic matter per million parts of the whole, “parts” being any volumetric constant you wish (cubic inches/cm/yards/meters), would then be defined as 3% organic matter. Congrats on the Savory accreditation btw!

If you put your camera on a gimbal, would it do better on the rough rides?

I would love to know your thoughts on winter cover crops to grow through winter for North Texas? I'm looking to supplement or replace hay buying through the winter for 10 count head

[yoopermann]

how would a person control/get rid of SPOTTED KNOT WEED?? thank you guys for the tips and info, , they would have to compete with me for the greens and radishes... what breed of sheep do you guys have?

[debireed]

What book would you suggest as a reference on grasses and cover crops. Something I could use to see what choices are best for winter, summer, geographic areas, the ones with side effects like you mentioned about 2 weeks post freeze etc.

At around 27-28 minutes you mention nitro radish. You talk of the size and soul breaking. Are you concerned about the holes left being a hazard to the livestock?

[garyuselman]

Could you let some chicken farmer raise pasture chickens ?
