Address HAARP and spraying
Stop using the term pronouns , if you want to be real and help change , don’t be a pronoun. Be a man
If you could stop being so woke and start doing more research you would find out the black people were actually enslaved here on their own land. We don't care about your pronouns. I had to turn off cuz you won't just get to the point. Nobody cares about your pronouns
I'm only 1/2 hour in, and I agree with all if it! I have neighbors who hire 'cide companies, which is frustrating...I have been creating diverse habitat on my small property, and don't use any chemicals. Hoping that our fear-based society turns around. 🙏🏻
Wow, you guy's are giving communism a whole new meaning!
hi to everyone, I am new to the channel and I am also practicing herbal healing in South Africa, Soweto. I think fresh herbs are good when eaten as food and when dried they are good for healing, especially if you have used the best practice in drying them. Thanks
"Synthetic" N is gathered from the air, yet is illegal. Chilean Nitrate destroys entire island bird habitats but is aok..... "Organic" farming is a lie, dependent on stupid, paranoid consumers.
excellent ideas, great to listen to you guys, thanks for sharing. totally agree, gotta teach kids to love insects. just today in class a kid was disgusted by a beetle, we chatted a bit, n she changed her mind n thought it was cute!! education is the key to everything
Absolutely fascinating! What really puzzles me is that this has not yet become a visible main stream research effort. The potential implications are breath taking.
You could copy paste this plenty of game changing nooks and crannies these days. They still trot out dismissive Pollack/Fourth phase hit pieces in the main stream here and there. Most generous take is, we aren't good at change.
First
Has anyone observed under a microscope commercial compost tea? Is it teeming with microbes and biomass? Has anyone observed under a microscope commercial vermicompost, mushroom compost, aerobic bokashi/EM compost, and other composts? What did you find? What is the difference between compost extract and compost tea? Are they equally effective?
This was a fantastic, very informative talk! Thank you Ruben and NOFA.
The story about how the red speckled corn came back brought tears of joy 💛
Great Video Barstow's My first contact with a digester was when a community close to where i lived installed a digester to fuel their vans, later on i delivered waste from a chicken processing plant to be used in the digester, thanks for sharing
Sweet! I'll be back to have a lsiten to this! Thanks! 🌱
I was wondering... how much are you donating to Native Americans? Donations without the Tax Codes and Tax Credits! It seems hypocritical... too speek so compassionately about Native Americans yet, being excited about gaining wealth from the Native Americans knowledge!
Really facinating talk! I read a novel by Barbara Kingsolver in which coyotes and a fallen hollow chestnut play important "roles" in the narrator's story. Can't remember the title.
Thank you for the update.
Terrible audio
The MANY HUNDREDS OF GIGATONS....of CO2 that AGRICULTURE..... OXIDIZED into the Atmosphere the last 150 years MUST CEASE. That CO2 Must be RETURNED to the Soil. Fixes So many Problems...from Erosion, to Toxicity, to Water Runoff flooding, to the DEVASTATION of Local Diversity of thousands of species from Archea to Eagles.
Super cool! It all helps I am invigorated to work harder for my Ranch here in Colorado!
20:21 Whitney is allowed to talk and finally dives in with a screen share of her presentation
Great info otherwise
the seeds that have lived here forever may not be, no, will likely not be, able to live here in the future. this approach is short sighted given the rapid changes due to global climate change and, in particular, the fact that New England is warming faster than the rest of the USA. The Seed Huntress needs to dig deep and adapt to these changes.

This is wonderful. I would love to visit this farm.
This is mind-blowing...😮
How many ccalves per cow?
Gerald, I'm so glad that you are continuing research to thwart those scientists who squelch science.
However, he invents his own chemistry, which violates all professional rules.
@@h.gonyaulax2190 yep. Unfortunately, so did Linus Pauling way back in the 1950s. Except for myself, nobody notices.
@@SolvingTornadoes If you mean the DNA structure elucidation, Pauling did not violate basic chemical rules, but simply made a mistake in his thinking, which he soon (but then too late) recognized. Pollack did not make a forgivable error of reasoning, but invented a new chemistry to fit his theory.
@@h.gonyaulax2190 For some reason my response was erased. I don't know why. YT thought police, I suppose. I am talking about mistakes made by Pauling that leave the study of water a mess.
@@SolvingTornadoes Then why don't you be specific and not make such a secret of it?
respect
Thanks !!!!
Hello, NOFA Organic Salsa Folx!!
Good stuff. Soil Regeneration with Minimal Till MUST BE incorporated into "Organic Operations". Tilling the top inch or two (4 weed control and incorporation of organic matter) is usually BENEFICIAL to the soil. Water infiltration and retention improves and aeration definitely improves. Mulching afterwards then controls weeds nearly 100%. Monoculture (single species) Cover Crops are far less effective than multi-culture cover crops. Best when 4 or more different FAMILIES of plants and over 8 species of plants are planted. Organic Matter gains can be MULTIPLES (2 to 6 times) of a Monoculture Cover Crop...and the Microbiology DIVERSITY is > 10 times better (each species brings its own microbiota and GENETIC DIVERSITY). ________________ We didn't steal America...we conquered it....JUST LIKE THE TRIBES did to other tribes before we got here.. for at least 20,000 yesrs. Their battle "victories" involved murdering all male adults (who didnt escape) and taking all the surviving women and children as sex slaves/forced "marriages" and as slaves of burden. The Boys were indoctrinated and trained as warriors. That's the ugly truth of the succession of ownership of territories. Western Civilizatioj put a stop to Milennia of this horrendous violence between tribes....until the Idiot Woke Marxists arose upon the scene late this century.
This is the best lecture about EZ water! Thanks a lot!

The land acknowledgment was ridiculous and fake. OMG. You spoiled my experience of watching this video. You woke "activists" are so much into virtue signaling just so that you can pat yourself on your shoulders. It benefits only YOU. You are bored with your lives and you franticly seek meaning in life. Yet you are not genuinly interested in helping people just virtue signal. There are ways to help humanity but it is not what you do. You are not interested in that at all. You just flare up/spread hate and divisvness. But it is your goal after all. It is sad actually.
ray is spot on about compactions between the ears
This is the first video I have seen of yours. "...I use he/him pronouns".... hahahahaa! I won't be watching anymore. I can't take you seriously when you have fallen into the b.s. that is known as gender identity mental disorder.
Pollack's illustration of hexagonal clusters (26:45) contains numerous errors and violates elementary chemical principles. Doesn't this trained audience notice that? 1) In his "honeycomb" the "expert" equates covalent bonds within the molecules and hydrogen bonds between the molecules. Oxygen would therefore be 3-bonded and hydrogen 2-bonded. Massive violation of bonding rules, even some high school students recognize this mistake. Actually, the model is already dead. But further: 2a) Water clusters cannot have a regular hexagonal shape (honeycomb). The bond angle in the molecule is 104.5°, the bond distance is about 96.5 pm. To the H-bridges there is an angle of about 180° and a distance of about 180 pm. Honeycomb adé. 2b) Since 6 hydrogens then project at a 104° angle to the six sides of the cluster and this is also true for the neighboring clusters, a regular connection to a compound becomes difficult, moreover the 6 hydrogens are also positively polarized. 2c) For the same reasons, a multilayer of clusters also becomes problematic. It cannot be directly overlaid as shown under any circumstances. 3) The hexagonal honeycomb is based on the dipole character of the water molecules, which can thus form hydrogen bonds. These are immediately destroyed again by the ubiquitous Brownian molecular motion (lifetime in the range of picoseconds (10 -12 s). 4) If these clusters exist in any form at all, they would be destroyed in the stomach at the latest. They would be protonated by the extremely acidic stomach contents, partially receive a positive ionic charge and decompose themselves. 5) I am a biochemist myself and work with vital life processes. If it were possible to produce water with such a much better quality by "swirling", "hexagonalizing" etc., all medical or biological laboratories worldwide would prepare their bacteria, algae, animal or cell cultures only with such water. I do not know anyone who does this. But with Polack's findings, water is "energized" worldwide and millions are taken out of the pockets of the faithful.
It's simpler than that lol.

Gabe Brown's neighbor is the dumbest mf in North Dakota.
Wonderful info but I find the speaker painful to listen to. Too much digression and useless detail. Get to the point!
I greatly enjoyed this interview From New Brunswick Canada
I know it seem like you should leave the bottom branches, but in my 40 years of experience with this plant you are better off cutting thee entire plant. If your bottom branches are not coming up to make a canopy, then you need to space them farther apart next time. The cardboard and wood chips will need to sit and be tilled at least a year. Both of those ingredients deplete nitrogen retain too much water, and keep air from going down in the soil to the roots. They hate wet feet, and they like to breathe. Those 2 things will make your PH drop. They do the best at 6.5 to 7, they do dont like really acidic soil.
very useful information about this plant, friends, thank you, greetings from me, an Indonesian❤❤❤❤
