Thanks for trying to save the human race joel, i appreciate it.

Look at all those happy animals! Look at all that healthy food! This is so comforting to watch.

Converting all of our farms to organically grown food will remove a majority of the health problems in America. That will reduce healthcare expenses and help the economy, as well as protecting and preserving farmlands. It's a win-win-win situation.

Farming is hard work; to have to add fights with Monster Monsanto -- wow. That's a challenge.

Thank you, Joel Salatin, for helping to save America.

I love this guy, if only his style of farming was the norm... we'd be a much healthier society. It'd probably be cheaper too but then of course corporations like Monsanto wouldn't be making billions monopolizing the industry.

@mickpaddygorman Hey I checked it out. Thank you!

@7891midnight There is good reason why Farmer Joel doesn't do exactly that. There is a great explanation of it in "The Omnivore's Dilemma", a book a journalist put together and a large section is about him spending a week on Joel's farm. check it out!

I wish he sold his meat to places like The Whole Foods or Trader Joes. I would really love to buy from him :(

@piucaprim and anybody else willing to help. I am 16 and am very interested in this kind of Agriculture as a career, but have a few questions. How much does it earn(not in it for money but curious)? What is the work like? Is it a good career/life in general? I know nothing so how do I get started (kindof a city kid but willing to learn)?

The europeans brought ploughs, bibles, and blankets. Killed the earth, the culture, and the people.

.but unfortunately..big agro from the states wants to 'tap' emerging markets like us..and force the local farmers (most of whom) who do not even know such intensive farms exist..to adapt to 'modern' (read cruel) farming techniques..with barren concrete floors and the likes for the poor animals..i hope joel and the likes of him also try exporting their methods so that we dont have to make the mistakes that the western world had made with intensive factory farms
