Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking this guy. I'm a Regen farmer myself. But if we pretend to like all farmers practice what I do we won't be taken seriously.
But as someone who uses hay myself, it...
Yeah, it's a life long endeavor for ranchers to figure out how to gain full soil functionality and have enough land to support the appropriate amount of ruminants to remain healthy (not exaggerated) profitability.
After reading Holistic Management (Alan Savory) and a ton of books from Gabe Brown, John Kempf, Frank Pons, Paul Stamets etc. it seems clear that the damage we have done to soil seems overwhelming. So many farmers/ranchers are simply too old and too locked in to move away from the way that has worked for them for decades. Will Harris (White Oak Pastures) is still knee-deep in revamping his soils and it's an ongoing practice for Joel Salatin and has been for decades.
Still, so many more ag people are taking on this work. I'm bullish on the whole space.
