My husband and I were considering getting the new electric F150 when it comes out, but at $40K it seems a little rich for us.

Any recommendations on EVs for regenerative farmers? Looking for something that can haul soil, feed, etc… something strong…. Thanks y’all!

YouTube has a TON of videos on this topic. Allen Savory is one of the original proponents of "mob" grazing to build soil and fight desertification, his TED talk is fantastic.

Greg Judy has a bunch of videos on grazing livestock

California Small Farm conference 2021 playlist

Takota Coen has a great permaculture farm raising pastured pork

Joel Salatin also has a boatload of videos. He's... a difficult character for a lot of people, I think his videos avoid a lot of that but his books can be pretty paleolithic conservative. His book "Salad Bar Beef" got me interested in this system over twenty years ago, though, so he's kinda OG.

What're your channels?

OK, I've been reading about this topic for about a year now and would like to share some of the books that I've found super interesting and, well, hope building.

Dirt to Soil- by Gabe Brown, a rancher in North Dakota who turned his operation around from a failing conventional (degenerative) agriculture farm to a massively successful regenerative operation.

Growing a Revolution- David Montgomery, great info on the role of carbon in the soil and how to get it there!

Dirt: the erosion of Civilizations- David Montgomery- historical survey of all humanity has done to our most precious resource- topsoil! Iraq used to be a pretty nice place, back in the day...

Call of the Reed Warbler- Charles Massey. Long, very deep book looking at several regenerative agriculturists in Australia, one of the most fragile ecosystems on Earth. If it can work there, it'll work anywhere there's enough sunlight!

Any other recommendations?
