What happens here

After securing the bale and removing the strings, Josh opens a pasture gate, drives his ATV with the bale unroller into the muddy pasture where the cows are waiting. He then slowly drives across the field, allowing the bale unroller to continuously dispense hay in a long line. He explains that this method not only feeds the cattle but also acts as a part of his regenerative agriculture practice, as the seeds within the hay bale are spread across the land and trampled into the soil by the cows, enriching the pasture for future growth. The cows follow the ATV, eagerly consuming the distributed hay.

Goal: Josh drives the ATV with the unroller through the pasture, distributing hay for the cattle and demonstrating regenerative agriculture practices.

and ourselves the show must go on here on the farm little things matter having combination locks on your gate so your cows don't get out [Applause] [Music] i believe that farming is a relationship with our livestock as well as a relationship with the land and we're doing what's called regenerative agriculture here on the farm where we take these old hay bales and we roll them out on the land it feeds the cows and it also regenerates the land so there's a seed bank in each hay bale when we unroll it out on the land the cows will eat the hay that's accessible to them and then they'll trample those seeds right back into the ground thus building the land year after year day after day [Music] not only is farming hard work but social media really takes a lot out of you at the end of the day even after the work is done there's still work to do every night in front of the computer
