This is a tremendous, eye opening presentation.
Great Analysis on head to head Hay vs. Managed Grazing.
NEXT:
Take a look at the AEA (Advancing Eco Agriculture) Soil Regen Process. They use Plant Sap testing to FIRMULATE a targeted Foliar Spray to optimize plant health. THE RESULT OF THIS.... Is increasing Photosynthesis from 10% -15% (typical POOR efficiency) to 50% to 60% Efficiency. That quickly produces MUCH MORE BIOMASS. 4 to 6 Times MORE Photosynthesis = 4 to 6 Times MORE CARBON. About Half of that goes into the Soil (Feeds Microorganisms) and Half into Biomass... Doubling to Tripling Forage Mass for Grazing.
This is only done for a few years.
Uaing AMP Grazing + AEA Soil Regen Process is like turning your OLD PASTURES... into 3 or 4 Times as much Pasture....BUT WITH FAR BETTER NUTRITION - If the proper MIX of Forage Plant Species for a LOCATION (at least 8 Species) The Nutrition of the Plants....and then the Cattle. That GRASS FED BEEF is worth twice Gain Fed Beef due to Nutrition Content. For instance...these Cattle have more Omega-3 Fatty Acids than Wild Salmon (selling at $9.00/lb). These healthy Cattle have almost NO VET BILLS associated.
Thank you for good info
Thank you for posting this y’all. I really appreciate it
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Bowie Samir Instablaster ;)
Jim is the best.
Are the nutrients (N, P, K) removed by baled hay the same for hayfields that weren’t fertilized as they would be for hayfields that were fertilized?
Missing $12 hay now
I am a begginer :) I made hay for other farms...hard work , little money :( Now I want my own animals cows, goats, sheep. What do we do if there is big snow all winter time ? I understand they can eat through when there is little snow , but I don't understand how they can reach to the hay below when there is lots of snow ? Please kindly explain . Thank you
Bianca, everyone needs to have contingency plans for adverse weather (snow, ice, excessive rainfall, drought). These plans are often based on conserved forage (hay). In the case of smaller operations, it is often more cost effective to purchase hay rather than own equipment to make it yourself.
Yes that makes a lot of sense ... Thank you much for your answer :)
I have currently 4 head of horses . I would love to know how I could stop having to get hay as I live in northern maine. Hay is getting near impossible to get
For one thing, I lived in the Northern Kingdom of Vermont and many bought hay from Quebec because of the exchange rate. The St. Lawrence valley is milder than New Englsnd and very verdant.
I lived in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont (Siberian climate) and many bought hay from Quebec because of quality, availability, and the exchange rate. The St. Lawrence valley is milder than northern New England, with large farms, and very verdant.
Old time French Vermont farmers would grow buttercup squash for winter feed for milk cows. I guess horses will eat them too.
could this also work for sheep and goats? great video
Absolutely!!!! Horses also!!!
@@KYForages i dont have access to any horses, i do have access to cows , goats, and sheep though! i been thinking about grazing all three together!

Should I be all the hay business no trash is paid for balers paid for. I have bought and hey in the past. People selling you hey take advantage of you period that will never happen again.
If you think that I'm going to sell hay for $50 a ton you are nuts. I will have at least $70. And that's break even for me you're asking me to work for nothing. I wish I was at your meeting.
