‘Thankyou,(Under 8 Min Video).
Beautifully shot film. I viewed this in a class when we were studying grasslands and I loved it so much I had to watch again.
I have no idea why it has 2 thumbs down, I guess I can´t always satisfy everybody (to paraphrase M. Jagger). I can only comment in the cattle wrestling that we find inappropiate (the Ejido cowboy), but well at least they have made one stride in the right direction
This video should make it obvious that holistic management works.
Judith D. Schwartz, (Author of : “Cows Save the Planet: And Other Improbable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth”) pointed out this video on Soil-Age ( a HM & soil-C Google discussion forum;

Noting what she saw in the Chihuahuan Desert Grasslands last year visiting Alejandro and Jesus’s ranches.
I would have liked to see more particulars of their changed management, their style of mob grazing, not just the 60% + increase grass cover but how many more Dung Beatles, subsequent increases in other macro & micro soil biota, soil moisture & soil-C.
HM advocates have many great before & after photographic results, sure proof of the pudding in the making, but I want hard data for each biom of grazing, in tons of Soil Carbon per year per acre.
Some practitioners are making 10 tons C/ac/yr.
If we all could achieve 1/2 that, Climate Change solved!
People prefer to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally.
