Well done.....

Wednesday Night Networking I can't wait. This week.... Profitable Ranching? Who better to help use look into or numbers than the owner of the Ranching for Profit school Dallas Mount!... Join us by registering here... https://gatewayresearchorganization.com/virtual-networking/ FREE.... as we can't put a value on how important networking is to our industry. Dallas started teaching the Ranching For Profit School in 2012 and quickly established himself as an elite instructor. Dallas, his wife Dixie, and their two teenage kids own and manage a cell-grazing operation near Wheatland, WY. In 2019 he purchased Ranch Management Consultants from Dave and Kathy Pratt. Dallas currently serves as CEO of RMC leading the Ranching For Profit School and the Executive Link Program creating profitable businesses, with healthy land and happy families. https://ranchmanagement.com/ Join us every Wednesday night as Steve Kenyon will host a different topic and a different guest each week. With conference season being cancelled, we feel the biggest loss we have is in the lack of networking that goes along with the conferences. Here is your chance to have a Q & A with some special guests and get in some networking with other producers in regenerative agriculture. And stick around after the networking for the after networking networking. Hope to see you there. Steve Kenyon Greener Pastures Ranching Ltd.

Does anyone need to set up a winter water system? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1259778630820977&id=213489422116575

A video of my continuous flow water system https://www.facebook.com/GreenerPasturesRanching/videos/820641014734743/

A great quote from Dwayne Beck.

Question... Has anyone ever had any issues with putting inoculated seed in the mineral and seeding through the cow?

I was just asked about Darrin Qualmans research again on Canadian net farm income. Here it is. I'm sure the situation is similar in most countries. It's a downward spiral. Big AG gives us a recipe. Do this, this and this and you will get that. The recipe only works in their favour. Regenerative Agriculture is how we break out of this downward spiral. https://www.darrinqualman.com/canadian-net-farm-income/... Agribusiness takes all: 90 years of Canadian net farm income Canadian net farm income remains low, despite a modest recovery during the past decade. In the graph above, the black, upper line is gross farm revenue. The lower, gray line is realized net farm income. Both measures are adjusted for inflation. And, in both cases, taxpayer-funded farm support payments are subtracted out, to remove the masking effects these payments can otherwise create. The graph shows farmers’ revenues and net incomes from the markets. The green-shaded area highlights periods of positive net farm income; the red-shaded area marks negative net income periods. Most important, however, is the area shaded bluethe area between the gross revenue and net income lines. That area represents farmers’ expenses: the amounts they pay to input manufacturers (Monsanto, Agrium, Deere, Shell, etc.) and service providers (banks, accountants, etc.). Note how the blue area has expanded over time to consume almost all of farmers’ revenues, forcing Canadian net farm income lower and lower. In the 23 years from 1985 to 2007, inclusive, the dominant agribusiness input suppliers and service providers captured 100 percent of Canadian farm revenues100 percent! During that period, all of farm families’ household incomes had to come from off-farm employment, taxpayer-funded farm-support programs, asset sales and depreciation, and borrowed money. During that time, farmers produced and sold $870 billion worth of farm products, but expenses (i.e., amounts captured by input manufacturers and service providers) consumed the entire amount. Bringing these calculations up to date, in the 32-year period from 1985 to 2016, inclusive, agribusiness corporations captured 98 percent of farmers’ revenues$1.32 trillion out of $1.35 trillion in revenues. These globally dominant transnational corporations have made themselves the primary beneficiaries of the vast food wealth produced on Canadian farms. These companies have extracted almost all the value in the value chain. They have left Canadian taxpayers to backfill farm incomes (approximately $100 billion have been transferred to farmers since 1985). And they have left farmers to borrow the rest (farm debt is at a record highjust under $100 billion). The massive extraction of wealth by some of the world’s most powerful corporations is the cause of an ongoing farm income crisis.

Are you ready for Coffee Shop Talk with Brendon Rockey and Steve Kenyon tonight at 6pm mst tonight? Catch it on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpufh5B_YcWdaoF3aAzaCGQ or on Facebook @GatewayResearchOrganization!

Livestock can be the solution.... It is all in how we manage them. https://www.jswconline.org/content/71/2/156

That's it! Our custom grazing season is officially over. The last herd went out today. Just our pasture piggies left out grazing until they head off to their "winter storage facility".

So long girls.... it's been fun.

Tomorrow's the big day! Join us at 6pm mst on Facebook or YouTube as we become flies on the wall to a conversation between Steve Kenyon from Greener Pastures Ranching and Brendon Rockey from Rockey Farms LLC! They'll be chatting about potatoes, cows, fuel and everything in between!

A great article about effective rain fall.

This grass fed herd from Top Grass Cattle Company is heading out tomorrow. They are off to their winter non-feedlot facility. They will be fed out on the land where the crop was grown. A truly regenerative system.

Resist the urge to get one more graze off your earlier paddocks. Leave as much residue as you can.

Natural grass-fed beef. 1/4, 1/2, or whole animal. Only 1 animal left. No hormones or chemicals. Fed only exceptional grass, minerals, salt, and great water + tons of love with a rotational grazing system. $4.78 per pound on the rail, processed at Sangudo Custom Meats in early November. For what you take home, it equates to about $7.50/pound, including all fees and processing.... If interested, please call Dan at 780-785-9479 Will deliver to Edmonton or Calgary

Some October grass.... looking pretty good still. We are losing all our leaves pretty quick now on the trees.

LEAVE MORE RESIDUE!! End of season residue is super important in next years plan.

A great write up from Dallas. I love it.

My best work ever!

Some days.... I just love my job. I thank God for the blessings that I have and how lucky I am to live and work in His beauty.

Preg testing time? We have a portable Morand tub system available for rent. We will deliver it and help set up. $500/day. ... Greener Pastures Ranching Ltd. Text 780 307 6500 Near Westlock, AB.

Look at that... my wife can pull off the "Dad" jokes.

This herd is quite entertaining. Lol.

Do I have this hooked up right? Lol. Going solar on the Sidekick.

I remember when these piggers we little and cute.... now they are big and pushy and kinda jerks!! lol.

This year's pasture walk has officially begun! https://www.facebook.com/GatewayResearchOrganization/videos/730475634170249/?sfnsn=mo&extid=hD9yoFHyLiCR7PPv

I was asked the other day how I got started into regenerative agriculture? Without hesitation... it was Allan Savory. I shook his hand in Lloydminster, AB. In about 1998. The Devon Club hosted him and I was introduced to Holistic Resource Management. I was hooked. I was then privileged to be mentored by Dennis Wobeser. A great man who was very patient with this young college kid asking questions. It was so good to see Allan portrayed in the "Kiss the Ground" movie. He is... truly the Grandfather of Regenerative agriculture. God bless you Allan. Thanks for a lifetime of dedication to our industry. Steve Kenyon

You might recognize this Gabe Brown character from the "Kiss the Ground" movie. Hes a rancher.

"Weeds" in your pasture? What are they telling you? https://www.canadiancattlemen.ca//steve-kenyon-four-thing/ Or try this one by Dayna Kenyon.... https://www.canadiancattlemen.ca//just-another-weed-hugger/
