Yes! this is right up my alley.
Lots of great accounts on here, and I think everyone on Nostr who is interested in regenerative ag will resonate with the other points as well.
You're probably already following RevHold, but there are a ton more of us!
We're at a relatively early stage on our land, but I'm obsessed with silvopasture and we're looking at browse blocks/hedges as well as trees.
Reposts are appreciated.
That’s great. We are doing a lot of this stuff at decent scale now but there’s always endless amounts to learn. How much pastureland are trying to grow to? Reposts appreciated.
Also I was not following
@rev.hodl yet so thank you for that recommendation
about 12 acres eventually. Much of it is very steep, so might not be great for cows (we have three now). We're considering sheep.
I don’t align with your bullet points, but I make and post stained glass windows if you’re into that
Oh very cool 😎👍
Bookmarked. I like these topics
Whereabout do you work?

The pasture that my family has had access to since my mom was a little girl is 12 acres and it’s a great resource. My bulls are hanging out there right now. I’m amazed how much steep ground the cows can access. Both species at once could be a good option. I won’t own a sheep but I have someone I may start custom grazing them for and we have some goats around.
Live and work in Northern IL
Our cows can definitely manage the steep ground just fine- I'm impressed! - but they do a number on it. Lots of bare muddy patches after they've been there (depending on the weather/time of year), which is much harder to regrow than flatter areas.
Great that there's a family history to your pasture!
I'd say that fits in the building community/buisness category 😉👍🏻

If it is intensively grazed in between longer periods of rest, some of that traffic can be a net benefit to the soil. It’s just a management thing.
I see you’re on Substack. You may already know but I’d recommend Paul kingsnorth and wrath of gnon. I think wrath of gnon is on here too…
I wish more of the brilliant substackers would come over here. Idk how much they get paid by Substack but nostr is better
Thank you. I will look them up. I’d like to build more of that here for all the obvious reasons
I’ve thought about blogging/wringing some stuff. Previously I thought I’d make a website…but I would get no exposure that way. Nostr seems like a good midway point between totally centralized (Substack) and completely independent (website). Exposure would land somewhere between those two….
Email lists are power and Substack is letting me do that atm. My thoughts as well.
We should make a list or something
Indeed
