There are serious benefits to raising and processing your own cattle on your own ranch. Not only does it simplify the process of slaughter, but it also consolidates roles of ranching. This, and the benefit to consumers is how vertically integrated farming has a positive impact.  Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4e7sJMY Botanical Interests Shop Homepage:  https://growepic.co/3Mwh6mI Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/3AR0LGY EG Homesteading Book:  https://growepic.co/4dXQ97k Connect With Will Harris:Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866. Born and raised at White Oak Pastures, Will left home to attend the University of Georgia's School of Agriculture, where he was trained in the industrial farming methods that had taken hold after World War II.

In regenerative animal husbandry, like Will Harris’s White Oak Pastures, animals live according to their nature. This model is an expansion of the industrial one, where meeting basic needs is the only concern. He can tell from their expression that his animals are happy, and that is because of his focus on their welfare.   Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/3XdbsLp Botanical Interests Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4cJCbow Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/4cOI57O EG Homesteading Book: https://growepic.co/4g5Vg7j Connect With Will Harris:Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866.

Soil health is just as important as animal health. That’s because good soil provides the best possible sustenance for cattle. Additionally, animal impact has a positive effect, as manure attracts microbial organisms that give the soil life. Will managed to convert his previously industrial-farmed soil in just 5 years to a highly productive one.  Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4g8Fbh6 Botanical Interests Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/3XsaTi2 Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/3Z9vysl EG Homesteading Book:  https://growepic.co/3X70eYN Connect With Will Harris:Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866.

Regeneration of degraded land. Welfare to the animals. Re-enrichment of the local community. These are the three things Will Harris’ cattle company boasts, and those he is most proud of at White Oak Pastures. And people come to work on the farm, not because of the higher pay, but because of the principle behind what Will is doing.  Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4g8WRJl Botanical Interests Shop Homepage:  https://growepic.co/4gc2cjs Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/4cXxgAEEG Homesteading Book:  https://growepic.co/4cNZ7mC Connect With Will Harris:Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866.

Will Harris is a 4th generation rancher who has adapted his land to a regenerative agriculture system. The switch occurred after Will had an epiphany about the inherent problems of the industrial system of cattle ranching. Today, he uses the wisdom of his great-grandfather, and the cycles of nature to raise some of the best cattle around.  Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/3XvriCA Botanical Interests Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4dYjYVu Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/4cRRWts EG Homesteading Book: https://growepic.co/4e4kTUc Connect With Will Harris:Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866.

Why do animals make sounds, and what kinds of sounds do they make? David Mann, PhD has created Haikubox in conjunction with his colleagues at Loggerhead Instruments to study just that! In this full episode of the Beet Podcast, hear him in conversation with Jacques about animal sounds, and gardening with birds.  Epic Gardening Shop Homepage:  https://growepic.co/3Xe3eE1 Botanical Interests Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4fWKhgs Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/4cAWpAI EG Homesteading Book: https://growepic.co/3Xd0yGu Learn More: 25 Top Plants to Attract Birds to Your YardConnect With David Mann, PhD:David Mann, PhD earned his doctorate from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution by studying domino damselfish sounds at a Pacific atoll, and he was a faculty member at the University of South Florida.

Your locale is the primary determiner of the kinds of birds you can attract to the garden. However, the population of birds changes from season to season. Sure, you’ll have resident birds, but you’ll also have seasonal and migrating birds. After you invite them in, take some time to listen and observe their behavior. You may get a better sense of the larger cycles birds are a part of.   Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4dQxZnW Botanical Interests Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/3MhHXTC Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/4cAYOeI EG Homesteading Book: https://growepic.co/4cz1gCt Learn More: 25 Top Plants to Attract Birds to Your YardConnect With David Mann, PhD:David Mann, PhD earned his doctorate from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution by studying domino damselfish sounds at a Pacific atoll, and he was a faculty member at the University of South Florida.

There are many ways to provide a place for birds in the garden. Native gardens provide birds with food and nesting materials, and give gardeners some respite as they let native plants do their thing without much intervention. Grow some berries, think of seasonal timings, avoid poisons and pesticides, and watch the feathers flock!

Birds are excellent pest controllers for gardens. Chickadees, for instance, feed their chicks caterpillars every 3 minutes. That’s hundreds of caterpillars per day, some of which may have been feeding on your favorite brassica plants. Larger birds of prey manage rodent populations as well. Each bird has its own role to play in your garden.   Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/3AAj2bd Botanical Interests Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4dDSLrm Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/46YSGvI EG Homesteading Book: https://growepic.co/3Aw6oKu Learn More: 25 Top Plants to Attract Birds to Your YardConnect With David Mann, PhD:David Mann, PhD earned his doctorate from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution by studying domino damselfish sounds at a Pacific atoll, and he was a faculty member at the University of South Florida.

The ways animals make sounds may surprise you! Unlike humans, vocalizations aren’t always localized in the mouth. These may emit from muscles inside their bodies. Different sounds have different purposes too, and upon observing you may find there are many sounds you weren’t aware of before.  Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/3WV0Znx Botanical Interests Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4czMk79 Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/3SYWreU EG Homesteading Book: https://growepic.co/4fTNAVC Learn More: 25 Top Plants to Attract Birds to Your YardConnect With David Mann, PhD:David Mann, PhD earned his doctorate from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution by studying domino damselfish sounds at a Pacific atoll, and he was a faculty member at the University of South Florida.

David Mann, PhD invented the Haikubox with his colleagues at Loggerhead Instruments in order to learn more about animal behavior. The way they do this is by collecting bioacoustics, or the sounds produced by living organisms. This information has given researchers a better understanding of the species in an area, and their movements within the ecosystem.
