Why Small Farms Farms fail! We've gotta learn to think about this!

What happens here

The video introduces the Stoney Ridge Farm, a first-generation regenerative farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. The farmer presents a challenge to traditional farming practices, specifically questioning the necessity of housing hay in barns. The core philosophy is introduced: to operate the farm in a way that avoids mud, saves money, fuel, and time, and minimizes external inputs like medications and commercial fertilizers, focusing instead on the natural cycle of cows, land, and grass.

Goal: Understand the principles and benefits of regenerative hay management.
