EP #56 - Daniel Salatin on His Dad, Farming, & AI Vs. Talking Story | Plain Values
M
32:28Marlin MillerHOST
I mean, the thing that I can...
M
32:31Marlin MillerHOST
The only thing that I can think of, as you were saying that, was Alan Savory and his TED Talk on desertification.
M
32:38Marlin MillerHOST
Yes.
M
32:38Marlin MillerHOST
If I'm saying that correctly.

41:43Daniel SalatinGUEST
really, um, from my dad.
D
41:46Daniel SalatinGUEST
I lived a very special childhood from that perspective of growing up in the season of giants early on before like alternative ag became, you know, really popular.
D
41:55Daniel SalatinGUEST
So, you know, being able to hang out with Alan nation, Bud Williams, Alan savory, not as much, but I met him a couple of times and got to talk with him a little bit.
D
42:08Daniel SalatinGUEST
I said, Alan nation already, just a wealth of knowledge there.
Podcast 759 – Permaculture Smackdown 33 – Beyond Organic Eggs – Part 2
P
17:10Paul WheatonHOST
They've all invented the exact same thing.
P
17:13Paul WheatonHOST
And Alan Savory addresses it in his book.
P
17:16Paul WheatonHOST
And I believe in the Alan Savory book, it's called The Wagon Wheel Design.
P
17:22Paul WheatonHOST
And that's where you've got a fixed coop and you have like multiple paddocks around the fixed coop.
P
17:30Paul WheatonHOST
And then each paddock has a gate.
P
17:41Paul WheatonHOST
And then once all the chickens have left the first paddock, I close the gate on that.
P
17:46Paul WheatonHOST
So they have the exact same coop, you know, 365 days a year.
P
17:54Paul WheatonHOST
And my concern with that is that that's going to build up a bunch of disease right there, which is what Alan Savory talks about.
Rich Thomas - Change can be challenging - Call To The Land - Episode #015
R
22:01Rich ThomasGUEST
And then I'm looking at the list of managed framework on the wall behind you.
R
22:05Rich ThomasGUEST
I got Alan Savory's book, a bit like you, and you think, okay.
R
22:10Rich ThomasGUEST
And it was all kind of, it's all kind of, and I read those on as well, you know, all those kinds of things were floating around.
R
22:16Rich ThomasGUEST
So it was like inevitable that I'd go from that really high data, like really intensive kind of thing or management intensive, which I know holistic management is management intensive, but moved a little bit further down that road.
R
22:29Rich ThomasGUEST
yeah and you said
R
22:30Rob HavardHOST
frozen so andre voisin grass productivity is the book i think yeah because we had someone on spotify ask specifically because i think we mentioned this in a previous podcast and they're like i couldn't hear what the name of the book was but so yeah grass productivity andre voisin i'd say that's the best book to read on grass really management
R
22:50Rich ThomasGUEST
And Alan Savory says that as well.
R
22:52Rich ThomasGUEST
Not that I'm saying you or him, but that's what he says, isn't it? But if you go back, you've got Robert Elliot in the 1800s, late 1800s, sorry.
Ep. 105 The 7 Ranch Decisions You Can’t Afford to Get Wrong with Joel Salatin
J
21:44Joel SalatinGUEST
That's just a fact.
J
21:46Joel SalatinGUEST
I mean, unless you irrigate, but, but, but there are a lot of places in this country that are, if you're, if you're in an above, I'm going to say, well, Alan Savory calls it brittle and non-brittle.
J
21:57Joel SalatinGUEST
I think he makes the, makes the distinction at 20, 20 inches of rain a year.
J
22:01Joel SalatinGUEST
I'm going to say about 25 inches, not to cut it too tight, but if you're over 25 inches of rainfall a year, then, then you, with rain, with great management, you can pretty much maintain your fertility with manure.
25 MINS LATER
J
47:03Joel SalatinGUEST
What
J
47:03Jared SorensenHOST
will help us to reach that tipping point where we are being more regenerative than degenerative, Joel?
J
47:10Joel SalatinGUEST
Well, by the way, that statistic comes from Holistic Management, Alan Savory's group.
J
47:16Joel SalatinGUEST
They're the ones that pushed the pencil on that.
The Permaculture Consultant : Discovering Permaculture Changed His Family's Life
W
41:53William BondGUEST
helps the soil the best, builds soil best, right? Not what grazing protocol is going to make bigger cows, what grazing protocol is going to build the soil the best.
W
42:02William BondGUEST
If you follow grazing protocols like Greg Judy or Joel Salatin or Alan Savory or Alan Nation, any of those guys, or Jim Garish, follow any of those guys.
W
42:11William BondGUEST
Just start with the simplest one first and then get more advanced as you grasp the easier ones.
W
42:18William BondGUEST
You realize you can... increase forage density 300% per season that you graze correctly.

C
4:33Cooper HibbertGUEST
And if you're drawn to that, it can be a very fulfilling experience.
R
4:38Rostam ZafariHOST
Your connection to land starts in large part with your great-great-grandfather and his legacy, Henry Sieben.
R
4:47Rostam ZafariHOST
Reading about him, he came to the U.S. as a very young person, had lost his mother from Germany, lost his father in short succession after that.
R
4:57Rostam ZafariHOST
And him and one brother followed, I believe, John Bozeman.
AoR 189: "Sailing true" on waves of grass with Pono VonHolt on Hawai'i
P
13:53Pono Von HoltGUEST
Feeding had that extra thing we had to add, you know, 130 or 40 bucks a ton to get feed out here to feed an animal.
P
14:02Pono Von HoltGUEST
So at some point right there around the... early 80s, we got hold of technology developed by Alan Savory, Stan Parsons, that took a holistic approach to managing ranches with an intensive grazing philosophy to duplicate the wild herds in Africa.
P
14:29Pono Von HoltGUEST
And so we took that,
T
14:31Tip HudsonHOST
tried it out in
13 MINS LATER
P
27:25Pono Von HoltGUEST
So we optimize the growth of the grass when it's resting.
P
27:29Pono Von HoltGUEST
And secondly, we ought to get the animal impact on it, which is the manuring, the fertilizing, and the rest, and stopping the overgrazing.
P
27:38Pono Von HoltGUEST
So we fenced this property off in the mid-'80s using electric fence, adopted some of the concepts that the holistic approach that Alan Savory was talking about.
P
27:53Pono Von HoltGUEST
And he was a great help to us getting started.

Cooper Hibbert, and he's embracing some of the aspects of Alan Savory's regenerative ranching concept.
T
49:35Tom OpreHOST
And I have to be honest with you, the ranchers that I saw that were rising to the kind of that called the cream of the crop there were people that were embracing, I wouldn't say carte blanche, you know, but different aspects of what Alan Savory preaches, and I just spent, in March, I spent five days with him in his Ding Bang Gombe concession south of Vic Falls.
