    Salt bush and blue bush and the like are good stock feed. The meat from stock on them is better than any other

      the saltbush is grown to rehabilitate the soil, this is very interesting bit of soil management.

    So the old IHC is a 4786? We have his little brother here in Saskatchewan a 1981 4386.w 466BT.

      I have all 3 of them. The 4386 with the 466, my 4586 has the original v800, and my 4786 has the 855 cummins repower. I love the old iron. This one looks to have 24.5 tires. All mine have 20.8 38s. Like to have this old tractor

      @Ron Burgundy My thoughts exactly, rock hard ground, dead dirt, where's irrigation going to come from.? Looks like areas surrounding some of the salt marshes or dried up pools in the interior of British Columbia.

      Depends really. Olddr equipment has more torque than HP. New equipment has more HP than torque. Used a 50hp older ford tractor that could pull a heavy duty batwing with ease. My new 75hp tractor handles a 12ft heavy duty batwing great, but bogs down in thick stuff. 15ft unit would kill the tractor.

      Seem like you have quite some experience in this area Peter? Considering that we mulched the salt bush in, applied lime & gypsum at healthy rates, now grow viable cereal crops, retain all our stubbles each season & subsequently have soil that is steadily becoming more productive....that would be considered regenerative? Happy to answer any questions you may have to the contrary 🙂

      Provide a backup video where you demonstrate your improving knowledge of soil. e.g. Using bioreactors to generate fungal rich compost to inoculate the sprays that speed up the recovery of both the soil and the crops you grow. Usage of interseason cover crops and their knockdown using agistment herds or a roller-crimper to increase the humus (armour) layer. The drill you use for planting, etc. The use of companion planting to improve the cash crop and soil recovery. The technical details will be in the changing numbers of: penetrometer tests, soil organic matter, infiltration rates, nutrient density of the final product.
