Would you like to save your Family Farm?

When it's super profitable again the relatives won't be in such a hurry to sell the once Golden Goose. There are profitable models right now for you with any farm or ranch context.

Are you going broke buying chemicals and synthetic fertilizers?

The air is full of nitrogen. Why did we ever buy this stuff? Let the soil breathe and you get it for free.

1% organic matter in our desert mountain clay is worth 25,000 gallons of water storage/acre.

1/2% increase in OM per year is a very reasonable expectation when it becomes a priority and theres usually something to graze as a bonus.

My farming partner and I grew tomatos and melons last year in Salt Lake without any chemical fertilizers, insecticides, or herbicides and we had an above average county yield on hard ground previously covered in thistle and puncture vine.

Our inputs were about 27 dollars/acre for a very heavy feeder crop because of the added sheep benefit but there are so many affordable opportunities.

If you're feeding hay this winter, I am sorry but sometimes you have to.

What's the BRIX level of your forage?

As your BRIX increases so will your animal gain and they eat less because they can. Here's the crazy part, once your BRIX is high enough the insects won't eat your crop. That is absolutely true.

Check out the pictures of the Summer Slump cattle ration of peas, oats, sunflower, rye grass, brassicas, cilantro, kale, spinach and more ready to graze in June with minimal or no irrigation. That's cheaper than buying hay when your cool season slows down until Fall . Drilling warm season annuals doesn't hurt your pasture at all.

I want to see the Family Farms stay in the Family. Food isn't going out of style.

Here's how it works, For $145 you can have me on retainer for two years. Send me pictures and I can outline options. Pay for my gas and I may come see you.
