Trust In Beef’s Post

“Our property is still not ‘done.’ We’re still improving pastures, we’re still learning, and we still stuff up regularly. But we learn from it.” 👏 A buzzword? A ‘movement’? A glow up of what many beef producers already do on farm? Whichever way you see it, regen grazing is having a moment. To QLD grazier, Jess Bidgood, this nature-positive approach is more than just hype - but it is a journey. And the most important step you take is the first one. Read more 👉 https://bit.ly/3XLnOvT

This Inspiring landscape-scale project combining food production and rewilding could show us the way forward?

IATP staff are still sifting through Chair Stabenow's proposed Farm Bill. We are pleased with the inclusion of several provisions, including ensuring long-term, stable funding for conservation programs, strengthening the farm safety net for small and diversified growers and providing relief for farmers affected by PFAS contamination. https://lnkd.in/gkbgMmKS

Exciting News from Horns & Hooves Regenerative Grazing! Did you know we’re losing healthy soil at an alarming rate, and with it, the foundation of our food systems? But there’s hope. Animals, when managed regeneratively, can play a critical role in restoring soil health and making the land more productive. That’s why we're starting Horns & Hooves—to be part of the solution. By applying regenerative practices, we help improve soil and pasture quality without over-relying on mechanical or chemical methods, paving the way for healthier food and a sustainable future. So, what is regenerative grazing? Think of it like rotating your favorite sneakers. If you wear the same pair every single day, they’ll wear out quickly and they will stink! But if you switch between pairs, each gets a break, lasts longer, and stays in better shape. In regenerative grazing, animals are rotated to different areas every few days, giving grass a long time to rest and grow back stronger. This simple practice rejuvenates soil, boosts plant growth, and creates a healthier ecosystem—naturally. We’re kicking off our journey in partnership with TRUC Farm (www.trucfarm.com), accelerating the transformation of over 100 acres of clear-cut land into thriving, grazeable pasture without chemicals or lots of machinery. This will support their growing grass-fed beef operation and showcase the power of regenerative practices in action. We can’t wait to share more updates as we ramp up our Grazing as a Service and Custom Grazing offerings using small ruminants (goats and sheep). Follow us to join our journey in restoring soil health, improving pastureland, and building a healthier food system—one graze at a time. #RegenerativeGrazing #HealthySoil #SustainableFarming #GrazingAsAService #MakeFoodHealthyAgain Jordan Greene, Steven Simms P.S.

This story is all at once inspiring and hopeful, and was originally posted in 2017. If scalable and replicable to #restoration projects in other #ecosystems – at suitable sites and with appropriate consultation and monitoring – this could be a novel solution for fruit #waste. A neat example of #circulareconomy in the food processing industry. https://lnkd.in/eQ3NC2kB

New meat factory plans for Ecclefechan approved Pickstock Telford Limited has received approval to build a meat processing facility near Ecclefechan, which will process 200-250 cattle daily. The development, expected to create 60 jobs, includes an effluent plant and anaerobic digester. Despite local objections citing noise, traffic, and pollution concerns, Dumfries and Galloway Council granted planning permission. Read the full story here -

THE POWER OF HERBICIDE ROTATION IN WEED MANAGEMENT Effective weed management is a cornerstone of successful agriculture, landscaping, and environmental conservation. Weeds can rapidly invade and choke out desirable plants, leading to decreased yields, compromised aesthetics, and even ecosystem disruption. Read More here: https://loom.ly/Fe2JYYU

A great profile on regenerative ranching and the promise it holds by Eliza Billingham. This excerpt gives insight into this bold venture and the promise that it holds. “Country Natural Beef is partnering with Northway Ranch Services and Sustainable Northwest Northwest, a nonprofit dedicated to creating climate solutions across various industries, to create a proven regenerative ranching program called "Grazewell." Ranchers outside Country Natural Beef are also invited to join. With the help of federal dollars from the Climate Smart Commodities grant, they're enlisting ranchers, ecologists and data analysts to prove that nontraditional ranching techniques can make cattle helpful — not harmful — to the environment. The idea for all participants is that if cattle are allowed to graze more haphazardly and rotated more frequently, the animals can work within an ecosystem to improve soil health and plant biodiversity. The benefits of healthy, diverse plants are wide-ranging: Herds produce higher yields of more nutritious beef, the soil sequesters more carbon, and rangelands are more resilient in the face of extreme weather events.” It’s well done and worth a few minutes for the full read. https://lnkd.in/gznTSea6
