Monitor Soil and Animal Health, Observe Long-Term Benefits

it's dollars and cents and it makes sense to build your soil versus maintaining infrastructure Okay so for simplistic purposes ten thousand dollars worth of hay this year we will waste three hundred dollars worth of that hay and we're right here in the crustiest nastiest part of the bottom of this Bale okay that's it that's the nasty okay so I'm gonna get in here let's just take my knife and get in there right quick I'm gonna get in here and I'm gonna show you how much we're wasting okay we're gonna cut out a little square it's gonna blow your mind it's not much it doesn't make sense to put your hay in a barn just cause grandpa did it doesn't mean you need to do it for your property okay this is unconsumable unusable hay this is biomass and carbon that will feed your land this is the next little bit of it smells like good hay to me smells pretty good the cows will consume it as we dig in here about half an inch to an inch we start digging in and pulling out good hay this is good hay right so why in the world would I put my hay in a fifty thousand dollar shed take a 35 to 50 000 tractor scoop that hay out set it on the ground carry one bale in the front one bale on the back take a 8 500 pound machine move that Hay all around my farm destroying my infrastructure making a huge mud hole only to save three hundred dollars per year how many years would it take to make that back if you paid fifty thousand dollars to build your barn and let's just say for simplistic purposes every month you're going to spend at least six hours taking hay down and putting hay out versus every day that I come out here and roll out a bale of hay it literally takes me 15 minutes I move the cows I grab a bale I unroll the Bale the cows totally consume that Bale whatever is Left Behind is grass seed and it's carbon carbonaceous material that's left on the soil that's food for microbes and earthworms which will soften your soil it will create humus which is the the basic building blocks of soil life humus so guys that's what I wanted to talk to you a little bit about today we're actually going to go on the other side of this bill and you're going to see the part of the Bale that was rained on versus the part that was right here on the ground and we all Now understand that it's not much waste we're going to cut open right into here this is net rapid again this hay has been sitting out in the sun in the rain in the hail in the sleet in the ice and look literally that much that much of it…
