Pasture Tour and Regenerative Farming Discussion

What happens here

Driving his ATV into the pasture, the farmer points out his garden, mentions the healthy-looking chickens, and shows an old tractor that he plans to get running soon. He drives along a gravel path, opening a gate with a remote control, and enters the pasture where his cows are grazing. He points out a section of pasture that was once overgrown with 6-8 foot tall weeds, explaining how he rehabilitated it by spreading lime and unrolling nearly 80 hay bales over two years to build carbon and biomass. He states that he is employing regenerative farming practices, where he feeds the land as much as the animals, and emphasizes the benefit of natural fertilizer from the hay and manure.

Goal: Showcase pasture conditions and explain regenerative farming practices
