This is an excerpt from “givers and takers” – one of the ten original “carbon cowboys” films exploring the many ways working with nature can improve our soils, foods, and rural communities. To watch the full film, search for “givers and takers” on Youtube!
Don Jackson wanted to change his grazing methods, and he called Allen Williams, a top U.S. expert on regenerative agriculture for help. Allen helped Don transition from continuous grazing to AMP (Adaptive Multi-Paddock) grazing. This film captures Don’s first 6 months of the transition – in Don’s 1st growing season. Don (and his son Patrick) can see huge changes already, especially in the amount of forage they can produce, the improved health of their cattle, and the increase in beneficial insects.
