There has been a lot of talk about black walnut syrup in the ag community for years now. I guess it's good, but it seems like a fad, soon enough to collapse in price, still it's an interesting topic.
Apparently there is a lot of videos about different ways you can build pig tractors to till up and fertilize your land using hogs while not spending a shit load of energy and effort shoveling and hauling hog crap. Neat stuff, as you can always use more organic matter on your land, plus, well bacon.
It turns out a lot of farms grow corn and soy, because they are a lot less labor intensive to grow. Farmers, especially those who do it part time as a hobby or side income to sustain their family can have other off-farm jobs, milk cows, and do other things unlike many fruit and vegetable crops which require much more management. This is a very interesting video, something that runs contrary to corporate evil-doer mantra that dominates public discussion of the issues these days.
How they harvest tomatoes is pretty fascinating.
This is in an open field with no neck rope. 5 yr old appendix QH, initially a very spooky horse. This kind of training helped bring him around. This video is our first time galloping bareback/ bridleless. All clips in this video come from the same day, during a 45-min ride. I cooled him down after, not shown in the video.
Pigs have always been such a fascination to me. Not just because they're dirty and smelly, but because they can help cycle nutrients into the land, eat food scraps, tear up the soil and mix it with rich manure.
