[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1794094, member: 32659"] There's a time and place for everything. We bought 210 acres that was totally over ran with Honey locust and boisdarc trees. I'm talking about you couldn't hardly drive a four wheeler anywhere on the place. No amount of Regenerative Agricultural would have got the place back in shape. We put about 750 hrs on a dozer clearing it off and getting it back into a grazing pasture. Since then we've pretty much rotationally grazed it and that's it. At this point you could say Regenerative Ag is what's bringing the grass back. That scenerio is totally different than buying a barron landscape and using Regenerative techniques to bring the grass back. Every place is different and requires different techniques. The other half of our place is depleted from cotton farming and I'm guessing has an 18" hardpan that just won't give. I can either attempt to plant grasses and legumes that may break that hard pan and loosen the soil or do it mechanically. Rotating the cattle and keeping the pastures clean has helped but not much. I feel like it needs broken up, fertlized, and grass seed at this point. Then we can move into Regenerative or sustainable agriculture mode. [/QUOTE]
