No more baby steps

From the Ground Up with Steve Kenyon

By
The light bulb did not get invented by incrementally increasing the brightness of the candle. This is a quote attributed to Oren Harari. What he is referring to is the fact that most breakthroughs do not come from aiming for incremental improvements. We need big steps that come from complete mindset changes. For example, using […] Read more

I do everything, sometimes

From the Ground Up with Steve Kenyon

By
There has been a long-time, ongoing debate on how to regeneratively graze. Which is the right way? Who should you follow? There are many different schools of thought out there by several very experienced graziers on how to properly graze, but which method is the best? I have attended a lot of different schools on […] Read more

The drought of 2021

From the Ground Up with Steve Kenyon

By
Well, that was one for the books. It will be referred to for years to come as the drought of 2021. I “herd” it was a one-in-100-year drought in my area. Hay production was about a quarter of normal. Pastures browned off in July. Dugouts and water sources are dry all over the place. We […] Read more
The extreme heat cattle endured this past summer from soaring temperatures was a perfect example of potential water stress.

Dealing with livestock stressors

From the Ground Up with Steve Kenyon

By
A happy cow is a healthy cow. I can’t remember the first time, but I have heard that saying many times over the years. On my ranch, I have found it very beneficial to keep the livestock as stress-free as possible. When we talk about animal stress, most people think about animal handling when processing […] Read more

What is custom grazing?

From the Ground Up with Steve Kenyon

Custom grazing is an arrangement or contract between two parties where a livestock owner pays grazing fees to another for the management of the animals on pasture.

Riding the dragon

From the Ground Up with Steve Kenyon

By
That sounds tough. All fire and brimstone, a knight in shining armour riding a beast into battle to rescue the princess. You can’t get more manly than that, right? I am that tough guy and I am proud to say that I have ridden “the dragon” many times. Let me explain. I grew up with […] Read more

It ain’t pretty

From the Ground Up with Steve Kenyon

By
You may have heard me say this before. A monoculture is ugly, no matter how pretty it looks. This constant drive to manage monoculture cropping has us in a downward spiral of dead soils and added inputs. It is costing us dearly. Nature rarely relies on only one species in an environment. Even a hay […] Read more
When you have a lot of standing water on land you can bet you’ll have a lot of mosquitoes, and it’s hard to find a better control for these blood-sucking pests than the dragonfly.

Building biodiversity on agricultural lands

By
Nature works in whole systems. There are millions of symbiotic relationships that coexist in a single ecosystem. Yet every ecosystem also interacts and relies on the other ecosystems around it. The aquatic ecosystem has a dynamic interaction with the riparian area ecosystem which interacts with the uplands ecosystem which relates to the woodland ecosystem. We […] Read more
