Your opinion about Out to Pasture: The Future of Farming?
Check this out- we do not have anything interesting today.
Wise Student- Organic farming is God's way that the modern dirt farmers haven't a clue...They only care about how much money they can make and to hell with how many people they kill or put in wheel chairs. Farming is no longer a proud profession...
Mark Hasenour- I'm a farmer from IN and I grow nonGMO and GMO crops and raise cattle. This is NOT a documentary!! It is more false ridiculous fear mongering propaganda just like the other so called "documentaries" If you want information about agriculture get it were farmers do, not some stupid movie. Search Agweb, Hoosier Ag today or Ask the farmers.
ThisnThatPackRat- Good piece, but the MOST IMPORTANT THING is that none of it STARTS WITH THE FARMER. IT STARTS WITH YOU, THE CONSUMER. I see a lot of comments applauding the animal welfare and respect, but how many are CHOOSING to pass by that drive-through window on their way to their local farmer's market? Every consumer dollar spent is a vote. How are you voting? Choosing to support your local farmers that produce on pasture and open range is the only way to be an advocate. Unfortunately, much easier said and fantasized about than done for most.
Tec 9- Im done eating bacon and everthing from animals those little pigs only live for 10 to 12 months then get shipped to the skinning processand i seen a video they cut there tall and bang the head against the floor its sad when i get pigs i will have alot and not one will be killed all the little ones will grow big not have to worry about dying.....so fuckin sad how we live off little pigs who dont understand that they will die the next few months. Makes me sad. I stopped eating food from cows,pigs,chickens ashamed.
shartne- I know that they dont clean those big chicken houses and never let them out. Its not that great. There is nothing wrong with small farmers they are not evil. Big farms dont need to have the monopoly.
James Chuaycham- Very good farming...back to everything natural, not just for profit.
Billy Sammons- So many posters are not mentioning anything about soil health. We cannot keep putting toxic chemical inputs on the cropland forever. Production practices have to change and the latest findings about the dangers of GMO's should hopefully enlighten the regulators and bring about changes in practices. Hogs, chickens and cows are mainstays in consumption of protein for the majority of humans. Having some moral cognizance of their quality of life seems mandatory...they all need grass, room to roam, sunlight and good water.
Who ever came up with the idea of penning them up in masses was nothing other than a capitalistic pig! We have a CAFO about 2500 ft from our house. Biting flies, lots of mosquitoes and the constant putrid aroma are not very attractive when it comes to quality of life. Money talks in this debate and it is highly unlikely that anything will happen in our life time...maybe the next generation.
Krystyna Borsh- If I had a wish I would use it to make small farms the only way to raise farm animals , not that factory shot where they treat the animals like shit
Relish “Gui” THEUnborn- indeed - i think we won't ever stop eating animals but we will let them live decently in future and only eat meat on special occasions.wait what? wasn't that how it was before ? :D wtf
Rainier Blades- Farming just has this terrifying quality to me. That humans can so casually exploit and grow a being - a creature - with the plan to kill and eat it. It isn't like hunting with rudimentary technology - more fair ground. Humans are just so capable of exploitation and usure. It's dreadful. If I was born a pig... or with brown skin a couple centuries ago...or in my current job (to a much lesser degree, but is that just because of laws? The underpinning of violence keeping people from being barbaric?) Is it weird that I think about these things?
abul bashar- bashar
Phillip Newman- Hi.
jason weimer- Farm Life!
trevorgreycattleco- I'm a small farmer and this is the best video I've watched in forever. You people give me hope. My guy said things were way wrong several years ago. I'm glad I'm doing it my way. Long live small farmers! Vote with your money.
jerry malinab- yes, kick off and play buy now... Boom bbcode.. jm..... lovely... and fun...
Countryguy- There aren't enough farmers in the US to be able to have multiple small 50-100 cow dairies. The reason the small farms don't exist is because it is hard job, which is why many kids leave the farm.
waswestkan- So much of the US population can't afford to pay more, even if they wanted to eat foods that are better for them and their family. They have spent the money the didn't spend while buying less expressive mass produced food on toys and entertainment. Their going to be unwilling to give those up. They are going to support anything that will force the "alternate" food producers featured here surrender their operations to those who will go CAFO. By supporting regulation that curtails marketing directly to the consumer. By environmental regulation that's more onerous to the alternate farmer, and favorable to the CAFO operations
Chris Jones-
John Doe- Benefits of hogs raised in buildings: 1. Hogs are one of the more destructive animals to the environment, through soil erosion. Anyone claiming to sell grass raised pork is lying. They turn grass/pasture into dirt/mud in just a few days. 2. Hogs raised in buildings aren't full of parasites from the earth. Having butchered both kinds, I wouldn't eat a dirt raised pig if it was given to me. 3. Hogs raised in buildings usually have a much more balanced diet, therefore having better feed efficiency. Better feed efficiency means less resources to grow the animal, and less environmental impact. 4. Hog buildings collect manure in pit beneath the animals, where it is then collected and spread over larger areas to grow the next years crop. It is put on in just the right amounts to soak into the ground and not run off. In outdoor hog pens, manure piles up, until the next big rain washes it down the ditch and into the water supply.
The people who tell you hog buildings are bad for the animal and the environment are lying to you. Hogs raised indoors have heating and air conditioning, protection from the weather, a proper balanced diet, proper medical care, and unlimited fresh water. That is better than most people live. The manure is utilized in a controlled, efficient, and regulated manner. The environmental impact/pig in a building is far less than if the same pigs were raised in a pasture.
